Proviso added at end to make clear that these provisions are complementary to those of the Vaccination Ordinance, 1923.
Each slightly amended as agreed by
D.M.S.S.
do.
In paragraph 2 of section 69 Government Officers have been excluded and other medical practitioners will be required to claim the fee within one month of notification.
New s.s. (4) added at desire of D.M.S.S.
(cf. s. 14 of Sanitation Bill).
Last 2 lines omitted as over-lapping with
old s. 101 (new 96).
Redrafted to combine provisions of two old
sections.
Health Officer empowered to order patient's removal to hospital, but on patient's refusal must get P.M's. order.
See para. 53 of Smith Committee's Report and H.E's. directions thereon in last para. of 90II
Omitted with D.M.S.S's. approval-pro- visions covered in Dairies by-laws (Sanitation Bill).
Omitted as almost identical with old 109.
"Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing sections" added at beginning to prevent overlapping.
Inserted as in other Bills.
Notes. (1) The extension of the definition of Health Officer in s. 2 to include Port Health Officer has enabled the deletion of "Port" before "Health Officer" wherever "Port" previously appeared, and the omission from the Bill (except in s. 2) of the term "Port Health Officer".
(2) I do not much like the inclusion of (new) s. 105 as, even with the addition of the new first line, it seems hardly to be reconciled with earlier provisions, i.e. s. 84 (1) (a), 92, 93, and 100-103.
(3) Very many minor amendments of wording and punctuation have been made throughout.
