CONFIDENTIAL C 5. Since the offices of the Consulate-General are being air conditioned and relief in the daytime given to the working members of the Consulate staff, there should be no repercussions if Dr. Sen had an air conditioned office too. Unfortunately his house is quite separate from the hospital, so that if the former were air conditioned or a bedroom in it, this would no doubt have repercussions on the rest of the Consulate staff. I wonder whether the answer is not to provide some air conditioning in the hospital itself, e.g. Dr. Sen's own office and a room for heat stroke, which would give Dr. Sen at any rate some relief during the daytime. But any expenditure of this nature must naturally, as I have said above, be judged in the light of the hospital's budget as a whole. Dr. Sen is very modestly paid at present if I remember correctly, and if he could be given a substantial increase in salary which would enable him to instal' a small unit in his own bedroom in addition to what I recommend above, that might well be the answer.
