Monday, February 27, 1978

The following is the full text of the speech by the Governor,

Sir Murray MacLebose, at the laying of the foundation stone for the Fanling

Hospital Extension today:

I am indeed happy to be able to officiate at this ceremony.

between the community and Government to improve medical services for the

common good.

I must express my gratitude to the President, Mr. Chan, the

Chairman, Mr. Cheung and other members of the Fanling Hospital Extension

Fund Raising Committee and the local residents as well as those members

of the local community residing overseas for their magnificent contribution

towards this project.

As Mr. Cheung has pointed out, this new extension will provide

a better medical service for Sheung Shui, Fanling and adjacent areas

which already have a population of about 100,000. By 1982 a complete

range of services will have been brought nearer to Fanling by the completion

of the Regional Hospital of 1,400 beds and polyclinic at Shatin,

I expect economic
