Enclosure 1.
Report of the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital.
1. THE HOSPITAL BUILDINGS.
The main portion of the Hospital has been kept in an efficient state without exceptional repairs. It is, however, time that the buildings should be again painted and colour-washed throughout.
I have again to request attention to the recommendation I made in my report for 1893, para. 3, as to provision of additional accommodation for private wards (1st and 2nd class).
The increase in the number of Chinese availing themselves of this Hospital has with the present accommodation, I regret to say, rendered it impossible to accommodate all, and I trust that the question of reserving a site for a new Hospital, referred to in my reports for 1892 and 1893, has not been lost sight of.
The question of providing available Laundry and Wasbhouse accommodation has been dealt with in C.S.O. 11, and I hope that the necessary funds for erecting and fitting up a suitable building will shortly be provided.
11.-LUNATIC ASYLUMS.
With the exception of railing in the upper verandah of the European Asylum, no alterations or additions calling for remark have been made.
III-SMALL-POX HOSPITAL AND HOSPITAL HULK Hygeia.
It is satisfactory to note that the old temporary small-pox buildings have been removed and the work of erecting on this site a suitable Isolation Hospital in connection with the Government Civil Hospital has been commenced (see C.S.O.'s 7 and 3).
1894 167
The Hospital Ship Hygeia has been maintained in a satisfactory state of repair.

IIIA. INFECTIOUS HOSPITAL.
pay
As was decided in C S.O. 1 the Kennedy Town Police Station has been handed over to this Department as an Infectious Hospital.
Certain alterations and additions have been effected to render this building suitable for the purpose, and I would point out the desirability of the public disinfecting apparatus being removed to a suitable site in proximity to these buildings.
IV.--MEDICAL STAFF QUARTERS.
The ravages
of white ants in this building have necessitated considerable repairs being executed during the year, and this building also requires colour-washing and painting throughout.
V.-HOSPITAL PREMISES.
These have been maintained in a satisfactory condition as far as the money available would permit.

Private notes are available after approval.
