TREATMENT AT GOVT. DISCUSSED AT MONTHLY MEETING OF THE K.R. A.

Sanction Sought For Use Of Double-Deck Buses To Relieve Crowding Problem

:)

The question of the procedure to be followed by patients seeking admission to or treatment at Government hospitals, which has been receiving the attention of the Kowloon Residents' Association for some time, was finally disposed of at the December meeting of the General Committee.
