ACKNOWLEDGMENT
472. It is a privilege and a pleasure to again put on record a tribute and a grateful acknowledgment to the staff of the Medical and Health Department for what they have accomplished. The pressures have been beavy and the challenges many. With cheerful devotion and pride in their work, they have been greatly helped and supported by other Departments of Government and by the many Voluntary and Welfare Agencies whose dedicated work is a feature of life in Hong Kong.
473. Superlatives are commonplace in Hong Kong and this in itself is a tribute to the constructive energy, industry and intelligence of its citizens. They go from strength to strength by their own unaided efforts and are not dismayed by adversity. In fact, as a community, they thrive on it.
D. J. M. MACKENZIB,
Director of Medical and Health Services.
