WRITTEN ANSWER
The Lord Oram to ask Her Majesty's Government whether, in view of the high density of population in Hong Kong, they are satisfied with the development of medical and health services in that territory: and, what plans are there for future improvements in these services.
ANSWER
Hong Kong's medical and health services have made
remarkable progress in recent years. Its standard health
indices are now similar to those for industrialised countries;
and its 10-year medical development programme includes many
major hospitals and clinics together with new schools of
medicine, dentistry, nursing and para-medical training.
My Right Hon Friend the Secretary of State for Social
Services recently visited the territory and was much
impressed by its achievements in these fields.
