    (A) STAFF. Dr. G. I. H. Braine, who is an officer seconded from the Malayan Medical Service, remained in charge of the department throughout the year. Dr. Ten Yoon Fong, L. M. S., a graduate of Singapore, was appointed Assistant Medical Officer on 20/4/1935. The strength of the staff at the end of the year was as follows:— 1 1 22 (Two grade I, four grade II, nine grade III & four probationers) 2 3 4 3 2 29 This represents an increase over the staff of the previous year of 3 dressers, one widwife and one menial. The distribution of the staff, appointments and dismissals are given in an appendix (A) to this report. The grading of dressers is in accordance with a scheme following that adopted by the Government of the Straits Settlements. Examinations for dressers are held at Kuala Trengganu but some dressers prefer to sit the examinations held by the Governments of the Straits Settlements and the Federated Malay States as the grades conferred by Trengganu are not valid outside the State. There were no candidates for examination during 1935. (B) LEGISLATION. Regulation (Peratoran) No. 5 of A. H. 1353, dated 18/2/1935, and Proclamation (Ishtihar) No. 68 of A.
