The necessary funds for the operation of the Hospital (as distinct from its teaching functions) would be provided from General Revenue in the form of a subvention. It would be the Board's function to prepare and submit an annual budget, in order to determine the level of subvention required. Funds for the provision of teaching within the Hospital will continue to be provided in the budget of the University of Hong Kong through grants recommended and controlled by the UPGC.

Membership of the Board

It is proposed that the Board of Governors, to be serviced by the Comptroller, should comprise a membership as follows:
(a) a Chairman (who should be a person of considerable standing
in the community, possibly an unofficial member of the Executive or Legislative Council);
(b) two or three additional unofficial lay members, including
at least one local member of the UPGC;
(c) the Director of the Hospital who shall be a dentally-qualified
teacher nominated by the University of Hong Kong;
(d) up to three other representatives of the University of Hong
Kong, including one senior administrative member;
(e) up to three representatives of the Hong Kong dental
profession;
(f) up to four public officers (representing the Director of
Medical and Health Services (2), the Deputy Financial Secretary and the Secretary for Social Services, and possibly the Secretary UPGC); and
(g) the Comptroller of the Hospital.
