Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Quarters
(Formerly known as the Kowloon General Hospital)
35. On Saturday, 7th March, 1959, during his short visit to the Colony, H.R.H. the Prince Philip laid the foundation stone of the hospital building which Her Majesty the Queen has graciously consented shall be named after her. His Royal Highness inspected a model of the whole scheme, and saw that piling for the hospital foundations had begun while, in the western section of the site, work had just been started on the superstructure of the Sisters' and Nurses' Quarters. This building will provide accommodation for 18 senior sisters, 96 sisters and 450 nurses, with training facilities for 150 nurses.
36. The hospital is designed as a single 13-storey block with projecting wings and will provide about 1,320 beds. The Surgical Unit on the east side will contain 31 wards with 18 operating theatre suites, while the Medical Unit on the west side will contain 21 wards and children's wards with a small operating theatre suite. The ground and first floors contain the specialist departments of Radiology, Physiotherapy, Pathology, the Central Sterile Supply and Blood Bank and the Casualty Reception, together with administrative offices, kitchens, staff canteens, laundry, services and supplies.
37. Steady progress has been made on the working drawings for the hospital. The architectural consultants for the scheme are Messrs. Easton and Robertson of London, who prepared sketch designs for the hospital and the layout of the whole site, and who are maintaining close contact with this office as the project develops.
