the cream of medical personnel in public hospitals deserves our serious consideration. Some people bend their hope on the Hospital Authority. to them the Hospital Authority means improvements in conditions of service, training/ opportunities and promotion prospects, all these they believe will help to retain doctors of
all ranks in the public sector. But if the outflow of the public sector doctors continues at the present rate, quite a large number of doctors will have been lost by the time the Hospital Authority is in full swing, therefore I strongly feel that some positive measures should be taken now to reduce this outflow, in particular, serious thought should be given to the creation of more senior professional posts in order to enhance the promotion prospects of our doctors in the public
sector.
