MEDICAL BUILDINGS
Queen Mary Hospital Extensions
2.33. The work comprises the addition to the hospital building of an operating theatre and pharmacies wing, a radio diagnostic wing and the construction of a new building for medical quarters and a further building for professorial suites. The transfer of existing units in the hospital to the new accommodation to be provided will result in the availability of space for conversion to wards which will provide about 260 additional beds. By the end of the year construction had started on both the seven-storey operating theatre and pharmacies wing and the radio diagnostic wing. The latter consists of a single floor over a car parking area. Contract documents were being prepared for the seven-storey building to contain professorial consultation rooms, lecture hall and laboratories. Construction also started on the quarters building for which a private architect had been commissioned.
Lai Chi Kok Hospital
2.34. This is a large project which will provide a general hospital of 778 beds and an infectious diseases hospital of 542 beds. Formation of the site which is on a hillside at Lai Chi Kok will involve considerable excavation in rock and is likely to require about two years to complete. Site formation tenders were invited for this work. Sketch plans and an estimate for the whole project were nearing completion by the end of the year.
Other Medical Buildings
2.35. Alterations, additions and improvements were in hand at Kowloon Hospital. These included modifications to the out-patient building; enlargement of the Pathology Institute; reconditioning of the general wards; conversion of the isolation and prison wards to a Central Linen Exchange and the reprovisioning of the hot water and other services.
2.36. A number of buildings were completed including the Shau Kei Wan Polyclinic and the Kwun Tong Clinic and Maternity Home. The latter provides facilities for a general clinic and dental treatment together with an 18-bed maternity unit and quarters for medical staff. In addition the Sha Tin Clinic and Maternity Home, which provides a general clinic and 24-bed maternity unit together with staff quarters, and alterations to the Social Hygiene Clinic in Ashley Road were completed.
