Question
: |
A
total of 351 new members were recruited in 2004, much fewer than the
671 members recruited in 2003. Why? Is there any difficulty in recruitment?
Will this affect the performance of the Auxiliary Medical Service
(AMS)? Any measures to boost recruitment?

The
number of actual man-hour in the recruit training is calculated in
accordance with the number of new recruits and the number of training
hours they actually attend in that year. Owing to the SARS outbreak
in 2003, the number of new recruits required was greater than the
estimated wastage in the same year. In addition, because of the reduced
turnover rate in 2004, the number of new recruits required for topping
up was only 351, resulting in a substantial decrease in the number
of actual man-hour in the recruit training.
