NAVAL BASE ASIAN HOSPITAL (Government contribution)

Inche Ahmad Bin Ibrahim asked the Minister for Health what amount of subsidy or contribution, if any, is being granted from public funds to the Admiralty for the running of the Asian Hospital, H.M. Naval Base.

Mr A. J. Braga: The provision for contribution to the Naval Base Asian Hospital is shown under Head 28, Item 36, page 139 of the 1955 Approved Estimates as being $180,000. The actual amount to be paid depends on the annual figures for bed occupancy at that hospital.
