* THE SHORTFALL IN PSYCHIATRIC FACILITIES WILL BE WHOLLY
ELIMINATED BY 1985/86 THROUGH THE PROVISION OF 4,900 PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL BEDS BY A DAY CENTRE AND HALF-WAY HOUSES.
MR. HO EMPHASISED THE WHITE PAPER WAS NOT SIMPLY A CONSENSUS AS TO HOW THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PROCEED, BUT A UNITED AND POSITIVE APPROACH TO REHABILITATING THE DISABLED WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.
HE DESCRIBED THE PAPER AS A +NEW BEGINNING FOR MANY DISABLED IN HONG KONG+ AND NOTED THAT THE OBJECTIVES, THE PROGRAMME PLAN AND TARGETS IN IT WOULD BE UNDER CONSTANT REVIEW BY THE REHABILITATION DEVELOPMENT CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE UNDER THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF DR. THE HON. HARRY FANG.
