HOSPITALS
265. At the end of 1963, there was a total of 11,086 beds available in all hospitals in Hong Kong, excluding those hospitals maintained by Her Majesty's Armed Forces; this total includes 574 beds in the Kowloon Hospital which closed for reprovisioning in January, 1964. An additional 630 beds in private maternity and nursing homes were also available. Details concerning this hospital accommodation are given in Appendix 10 and an analysis of the work done is set out in Appendices 11 and 12.
266. The main event of the year was the opening of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, mention of which has been made previously in paragraph 7. The re-development programme of the Kwong Wah Hospital in Kowloon continued to progress satisfactorily and is described later in this repor in paragraph 325.

GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS
267, The Queen Mary Hospital is an acute hospital serving as the main specialist centre for Hong Kong Island and as the University teaching hospital for the Medical Faculty of the University of Hong Kong. It is also one of the two Government centres for general nursing training.
268. Of the hospital's 623 beds, 313 are controlled by the University teaching units, which comprise the University Departments of Medicine, Surgery, Orthopaedics, Paediatrics and Obstetrics and Gynaecology, each under the direction of a Professor. The remainder of the beds are allocated between various Government clinical units, comprising medical, surgical, radiology, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery and car, nose and throat units, each in the charge of a Specialist. All nursing and other services are provided by Government, except for the clinical pathology which is carried out by the University Department of Pathology. The administration of the hospital is the responsibility of a Government Principal Medical and Health Officer who is assisted by a Hospital Secretary.
269. The hospital, which was built in 1937, has during recent years proved inadequate both for its function as a teaching hospital and also for the increasingly specialized services it is called upon to provide. Accordingly, plans have been drawn up during recent years to extend the hospital. These extensions will take the form of a new professorial suite to provide improved facilities for teaching an increased number
