The Centre will also provide an avenue for volunteers to donate their time and use their expertise to assist patients in their rehabilitation process and introduce a "patient care ambassador" scheme, Mrs Lau said.

The setting-up of the Centre in July last year, made possible by a donation from the Hong Kong Jockey Club, will encourage a better rapport between the medical practitioners and the community at large, she added.

Tuen Mun Hospital was established in March 1990 and has more than 20 specialist clinical units with over 1,600 beds.

Souvenir stamp sheetlet on victory celebration issued

The acting Postmaster General, Miss Nancy Law, today (Thursday) announces that the Hong Kong Classics Series No 6 definitive stamp sheetlet will be issued on October 9.

1995 is the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. The sheetlet depicts a sepia photograph of the victory celebration by the Cenotaph on October 9, 1945, on a day with bright sunshine and happy crowds. "The stamp sheetlet will be issued exactly 50 years after the memorable victory celebration when tribute was paid to Hong Kong's liberators - both the living and the dead," said Miss Law.
