港鐵公司亦在轄下的鐵路運作中即時啟動應急安排，密切監察鐵路運作。
MTRCL has also activated emergency responses to manage and closely monitor the railway operation
我們要明白，一幅地要進行發展，是先要透過招標批出項目予發展商來發展的，正如政府把土地招標出售，如果發展過程出現問題，是否連招標出售的政府部門也要負責呢？
We should understand that in order to develop a site the relevant developer must first be awarded the project through tender . As in the case of land put up for tender by the Government if problems arise in the course of development should the government department that tendered the land also be held responsible?
無論如何，港鐵公司就其作為項目的擁有人、鐵路的營運者，以及在確保鐵路和公眾安全方面，按我們所看到的情況，亦即我已向各位陳述，港鐵公司已經盡了他們應有的責任。
In any case according to what we have seen and what I have explained MTRCL has delivered on its duty as the owner of the project and the operator of the railway in ensuring the safety of the railway and the public
我在剛才亦表示，在現時我們未有新安排之前，我們要求港鐵公司盡可能提供優惠，將對市民的影響減至最小。
As I also said earlier during this time before there is any new arrangement we have asked MTRCL to provide some concessions as far as possible so that the impact on the public can be minimized
所以，無論是提供轉乘優惠以至月票的優惠，都是一些方法。
Therefore the provision of interchange concessions or monthly pass concessions is also a way of consideration
所以，我們真的需要很認真地跟港鐵公司坐下來研究、分析和看看如何處理，可以在比較短的時間內盡可能解決有關"短貴長平"的問題。
Therefore we really need to seriously discuss analyse and sort out with MTRCL with a view to resolving the problem of higher fares for shorter journeys within a short period of time as far as possible
代理主席，多謝田議員的意見。
Deputy President I thank Mr TIEN for his views
田議員剛才也說了，港鐵公司是一間上市公司，對政府、對市民以至對股東也有責任。
As Mr TIEN has just said MTRCL is a listed company and it has a responsibility to the Government to the public and to its shareholders
近年落成的新鐵路線的車費，例如觀塘綫延綫、南港島綫及屯馬綫全綫，均按這原則釐定。
Fares of new railway lines commissioned in recent years such as the KTL Extension South Island Line and full TML are determined in accordance with the above principle
當中東鐵綫早於1910年便投入服務，本身的票價釐定有其歷史因素，加上涉及本地及過境服務，故此其票價結構難以與其他鐵路線作直接比較。
In particular ERL commenced service as early as in 1910 . Its fare determination was influenced by historical factors and involved the co - existence of domestic and cross - boundary services; hence it is difficult to directly compare its fare structure with other railway lines
港鐵公司在釐定新路線的車費時，會以不改變現有路線的車費為大前提，因此新鐵路線的票價會受原有鐵路網絡的票價結構所限制，部分車程或會出現票價不規則的情況，亦即所謂"短貴長平"。
However regardless of the line the passengers use they will have to pay the same fare . When determining fares for new lines the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL adopts the basic principle of not changing the fares of existing lines . To this end the fares of new railway lines will be bounded by the fare structure of the existing railway network resulting in fare anomalies for some trips
港鐵公司一直小心處理有關情況，透過每年的票價調整機制，分階段逐步調整有關車費。
MTRCL has been carefully handling the situation by adjusting the fare in phases according to the annual Fare Adjustment Mechanism FAM
因此，視乎每年港鐵票價按票價調整機制所得出的調整幅度，預計需時數年才能理順上述票價不規則的情況。
Therefore subject to the annual adjustment rate of the MTR fare based on FAM it is expected that it would take several years to have the above fare anomalies resolved
我們要作一個假設，因為很多時候這些計算都需要有一些先設條件。
We have to make an assumption because a lot of these calculations require some preconditions
如果我們假設往後3年，港鐵公司都有需要進行票價調整，我們初步估計可以在3年內理順超過一半"短貴長平"的路線組合。
If we assume that MTRCL will need to adjust fares for the next three years our initial estimate is that more than half of the trip combinations with higher fares for shorter journeys can be rectified within three years
所以，任何一個站的票價如果與附近的票價拉高或拉低時，其實對其他線路，亦都會帶來一個牽連的影響。
So if the fare at any one station is raised or lowered in relation to the fares of the stations nearby it will have a knock - on effect on the other lines as well
根據政府跟港鐵公司簽訂的營運協議，的確每5年會進行一次票價調整檢討，有關票價調整機制，下次檢討將於2023年完成。
According to the Operating Agreement signed between the Government and MTRCL fare adjustment reviews will indeed be conducted every five years and the next review of FAM will be completed in 2023
主席，屯馬綫於今年6月27日全線通車，兩個新車站，即宋皇臺站和土瓜灣站，以及位於何文田站及紅磡站擴建部分的新月台已一併啟用，接通原有的馬鞍山綫和西鐵綫。
President the Tuen Ma Line TML was fully commissioned on 27 June this year connecting the original Ma On Shan Line MOS Line and West Rail Line WRL . The two new stations of Sung Wong Toi and To Kwa Wan together with the new platforms at the Ho Man Tin Station and expanded Hung Hom Station came into service at the same time
香港是法治之地，在香港道路上，不論有否劃上雙黃線或單黃線，將車輛停泊在指定泊車位以外的路邊，本身已屬違法，所以最重要的是市民守法的精神。
Hong Kong is a place upholding the rule of law . It is already an offence to park any vehicles outside a designated parking space on any side of a road in Hong Kong regardless of whether a double or single yellow line is marked on it or not . So the most important of all is a law - abiding awareness among people
第三，增加泊車位供應當然亦是紓緩問題的安排。
Third increasing the supply of parking spaces is certainly an arrangement that may alleviate the problem
此外，我剛才所說的泊車位科技亦有助增加泊車位，而在不影響交通安全的情況下，我們甚至會採用流動泊車位。
Besides the parking space technologies I mentioned earlier may likewise help to increase the provision of parking spaces . We may even adopt mobile parking spaces if traffic safety will not be compromised
在2018年、2019年及2020年首10個月，警務處發出的違例泊車定額罰款通知書數目按警察總區及月份區分的分項數字載於附件一。
The numbers of FPNs issued by the Police in 2018 2019 and the first 10 months of 2020 against illegal parking with breakdowns by police region and by month are tabulated at Annex 1
一般而言，警方在接到市民有關違泊及交通阻塞的投訴後，會因應實際情況盡快及盡力作出處理。
Generally speaking the Police will endeavour to handle public complaints about illegal parking and traffic obstruction as soon as practicable in the light of the actual circumstances
有關投訴均已轉介警務處作適當跟進。
All relevant complaints have been referred to the Police for follow - up actions as appropriate
如果以一整年計算，2020年首10個月已發出213萬張告票，平均每月發出21萬張。
If computation is done on the basis of the whole year then the first 10 months of 2020 have already seen the issuance of 2.13 million FPNs with a monthly average of 210 000
主席，感謝張議員的意見。
President many thanks to Mr CHEUNG for his views
在這前提下，我們會透過我剛才所說的方法增加泊車位，但同時間，我們不希望吸引原本乘坐公共交通工具的市民轉為自駕。
On this premise we will increase the provision of parking spaces under the approach I have just mentioned . But at the same time we do not wish to induce those people who will otherwise take public transport to switch to drive their own vehicles
在多管齊下的安排下，我們希望私家車及商用車輛的泊車位數目未來能逐步增加。
With such arrangements under a multi - pronged approach we hope to achieve a progressive increase in the number of parking spaces for private or commercial vehicles in the days to come
因此，要解決因房屋供求失衡引致樓價及租金上升的問題，持續增加房屋供應始終是根本之道，並不存在其他捷徑，顧左右而言他無法令大家一同聚焦面對問題。
In view that the increase in property prices and rental levels are attributable to the demand - supply imbalance of housing units the fundamental solution to such problem is to continue increase the supply of housing flats . There is no other shortcut while prevarication will only make us unable to focus our efforts on tackling the problems
香港房屋委員會和香港房屋協會自2014年年底，已一共預售了5,800個單位，房委會今年年初推售約2,000個新建居屋單位，並已將申請居屋的白表家庭入息限額，按既定計算方式由49,000元調升至52,000元。
Since the end of 2014 the Hong Kong Housing Authority HKHA and the Hong Kong Housing Society HKHS have pre - sold a total of 5 800 units . Early this year about 2 000 new HOS flats were put up for sale by HKHA . The income limit for the sale of HOS units has been increased from 49,000 to 52,000 for White Form family applicants on the basis of a pre - determined formula
房協在今年下半年亦推售約600個資助出售單位。
In the second half of this year about 600 subsidized sale units will also be put up for sale by HKHS
市民將可以按自己的能力和需要，滿足置居的願望。
Members of the public are advised to address their home ownership aspirations on the basis of their affordability and housing needs
就去年11月4日宣布調高並劃一住宅物業從價印花稅至15%，我知道立法會已成立法案委員會，開始審議有關法案，議員有充分機會考慮法案的細節。
In respect of the new initiative on 4 November last year to increase and introduce a new flat rate of 15 % for the ad valorem stamp duty chargeable on residential property transactions I know that a Bills Committee has been set up by the Legislative Council to deliberate on the Bill . Members will have ample opportunities to study the Bill in detail
以擴建機場成為三跑道系統為例，當三跑道系統建成後，將提供12萬個直接就業機會和16萬個間接或連帶的職位，較目前雙跑道系統提供的職位多得多。
Let us take the example of the expansion of the airport into a three - runway system . After completion of the construction works the three - runway system will create 120 000 direct jobs as well as 160 000 indirect and induced jobs way more than the jobs offered under the existing two - runway system
相反，若不建造三跑道系統，便會打擊本港的航空、物流、酒店、旅遊、貿易、零售和飲食等各行各業。
On the contrary if the three - runway system was withheld it would deal a blow to various sectors and industries in Hong Kong such as the aviation logistics hotel tourism trade retail and catering industries
在這方面，政府已於2014年9月公布《鐵路發展策略2014》，建議在直至2031年的規劃期內，完成7個鐵路項目，分別為北環線、屯門南延線、東九龍線、東涌西延線、洪水橋站、南港島線和北港島線。
In the Railway Development Strategy 2014 published by the Government in September of 2014 it was recommended that seven new railway projects be completed in the planning horizon up to 2031 . They include the Northern Link the Tuen Mun South Extension the East Kowloon Line the Tung Chung West Extension Hung Shui Kiu Station the South Island Line West and the North Island Line
當然，亦有議員提出車位不足的問題。
Of course some Members have pointed to the problem of inadequate parking spaces
議案辯論的題目，主張成立中產事務委員會。
The topic of this motion debate advocates the establishment of a middle class commission
我多謝各位議員藉着這項辯論的機會，表達對目前中產人士生活處境和所面對問題的意見。
I thank Members for taking opportunity of this motion debate to express their views on the situation of the middle - class people and the problems they are facing
主席，我動議二讀《2017年道路交通條例草案》。
President I move that the Road Traffic Amendment Bill 2017 the Bill be read the Second time
以在最繁忙時段出現留後乘客的專線小巴路線比率而言，由16個座位增加至19個座位安排下，每增加1個座位能平均減少該比率11個百分點。不過，在19個座位後每增加1個座位，只能夠減少該比率2至3個百分點。
With this arrangement of increasing the seats from 16 to 19 each seat increased could reduce the ratio of GMB routes with left - behind passengers during the peak hour by an average of 11 percentage points while each seat increased beyond 19 would only reduce such ratio by two to three percentage points
但是，從整體規劃的角度考慮，我們不能單單以繁忙時段的需求去決定小巴座位上限，也需顧及全面的營運環境及多元公共交通生態。
However from the overall planning point of view the maximum seating capacity of light buses cannot be decided solely on basis of the demand during the peak hour for the overall operating environment and a diversified public transport system should also be taken into consideration
就此我們已向委員解釋，政府的政策考慮並不會以個別車款、型號或製造商作依據，而將公共小巴的座位上限定為19個的建議，是顧全及平衡了剛才提到的各方面考慮。
In response we have explained to the Panel that the policy considerations of the Government would not be based on a particular type model or make of vehicle . The proposal for increasing the maximum seating capacity of PLBs to 19 seats has taken into consideration and balanced all aforementioned aspects
我們現在建議只增加座位上限，而不增加公共小巴車輛總數的法定上限，目前是4,350輛，好處是可在無須增加車流的情況下，有效地回應繁忙時段的乘客需求、縮短乘客候車時間。
We propose increasing the maximum seating capacity rather than increasing the statutory cap on the number of PLBs as this could better meet the passenger demand and reduce passengers waiting time during peak periods without having to generate additional traffic flow
此外，《條例草案》會對《汽車條例》、《行車隧道規例》及《道路交通規例》作出其他相應修訂。
Besides the Bill also makes consequential amendments to the Motor Vehicles Ordinance and Road Tunnels Government Regulations
我們懇切期望《條例草案》能得到立法會的支持，並早日獲得通過，以便營辦商能盡快增加旗下小巴的座位數目，回應乘客需求。
We earnestly hope that the Bill will be passed early with the support of the Legislative Council so that operators can expeditiously increase the seating capacity of their light buses in response to passenger demands
我們繼續積極協助香港機場管理局推展三跑道系統工程，當系統全面運作後，香港國際機場每年的貨運能力將增加至900萬公噸，而每年的客運能力將逐步增加至1億人次。
We continue to actively assist the Airport Authority Hong Kong AA in taking forward the three - runway system project . When the system is fully commissioned the annual cargo handling capacity of HKIA will increase to 9 million tonnes and the annual passenger handling capacity will gradually increase to 100 million
港珠澳大橋的啟用為香港國際機場及珠海機場的進一步合作創造有利條件。
The commissioning of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge HZMB creates favourable conditions for further cooperation between HKIA and the Zhuhai Airport
當中包括於明年完成多式聯運中轉客運大樓，以及分階段在大橋香港口岸設置自動化停車場等，吸引來自廣東省及澳門經大橋前往機場轉飛海外或訪港的自駕旅客使用，配合香港國際機場擴展多式聯運網絡，為旅客提供輕鬆便捷的雙向陸空轉乘體驗，亦為經大橋的自駕旅客提供便捷的泊車服務及節省時間。
The developments include the Intermodal Transfer Terminal to be completed next year the automated car parks on the HKBCF Island to be developed in phases to attract self - drive visitors from Guangdong and Macao driving their private cars via HZMB and fly out from HKIA or visit Hong Kong . HKIA will also expand the intermodal network to provide hassle - free travelling experience for land - to - airair - to - land transfer passengers and also provide convenient and time - saving parking services for self - drive passengers who may drive their private cars via HZMB
此 外，透過優化區內的交通配套及海濱設施，加強利用區內的海灣資源，將"機場城市"的構思連同東涌及鄰近地區融合，為整個北大嶼山地區注入新的發展元素和經濟機遇。
In addition by enhancing the transport network and the waterfront facilities and strengthening the use of bay resources in the area the concept of an airport city will integrate with Tung Chung and the nearby region and inject new development elements and economic opportunities into the whole North Lantau
粵港兩地也會盡快開展跨境商用直升機服務的籌備工作，以提供快速和靈活的點對點跨境空中交通服務，將香港與大灣區以至整個廣東省內主要城市的距離大大拉近，支持區內多元化經濟發展。
Guangdong and Hong Kong will also commence preparation for the provision of cross - boundary commercial helicopter services with a view to greatly shortening the distances between Hong Kong and the cities in GBA as well as the whole Guangdong and supporting the diversified economic development in the region
我們和廣東省政府及內地相關當局正在敲定實施計劃的各項具體安排及技術細節，並爭取盡快落實及公布。
We are now finalizing the specific arrangements and technical implementation details of the Scheme with the Guangdong Provincial Government and relevant Mainland authorities and will strive for early implementation and announcement
此外，粵港政府將在計劃運作一段時間後，參考在大橋的實施經驗，積極研究把計劃延伸至另一個香港和深圳的陸路口岸，讓香港市民自駕而可以無須配額穿梭粵東粵西。
Moreover after the implementation of the Scheme for a period of time the Guangdong and Hong Kong governments will draw on the implementation experience and proactively study the extension of the Scheme to a Hong KongShenzhen land boundary control point so that Hong Kong residents can drive their private cars and travel to both the eastern and western parts of Guangdong without having to obtain a regular quota
面對疫情，香港房屋委員會一直努力配合和支持政府防疫抗疫。
In the face of the epidemic the Hong Kong Housing Authority HKHA has tried its best to cooperate with and support the Governments anti - epidemic efforts
具體工作包括在去年2月至10月期間，把位於火炭的駿洋邨借予政府作為檢疫中心之用。
Specific work include handing over Chun Yeung Estate in Fo Tan to the Government for use as quarantine centre between February and October last year
2020年施政報告亦提出，檢查房委會轄下公屋及各類屋苑的公用和外牆排水管，以及加強各公共屋邨及商場/街市的疫情防控措施。
The Policy Address 2020 proposes to carry out inspection of communalexternal drainage pipes for buildings in estatescourts under HKHAs rental housing and various subsidized sale flats schemes and step up various anti - epidemic measures in public rental housing estates and shopping centresmarkets
局長可否清楚告知本會，相關做法是參考哪一份國際文獻、哪一個研究結果？
Will the Secretary clearly inform this Council which international research paper or which research finding has been taken as reference for the said practice?
政府每次也是以技術問題和業權問題作為解釋，敷衍了事。
It gets a score of zero . Every time when being asked the Government proffers the habitual excuse that there are technical and title issues unsolved
與其用6億4,000萬元做福袋，派給全香港市民，為何不用6億4,000萬元做一個政策的福袋給露宿者、"街友"、無家者和翠姐呢？
Rather than spending 640 million on offering fortune bags to all Hong Kong people why does the Government not spend 640 million on formulating a policy fortune bag for street sleepers street friends the homeless and Madam Tsui?
其實，我們本來應該針對如何提升院舍質素，令最終需要入住院舍的長者、殘疾人士，以至有不同需要的人士可以有一個有尊嚴、有基本保障的生活請留意，我是說生活，生活與生存有點不同，生活是基本的生活保障，而不單是生存我們應該討論如何建立有尊嚴的居所給社會上最弱的一群，本來應該討論如何滿足居於院舍的一群人的生活需要。
Please note that I am talking about life which is somewhat different from existence . Life refers to secured provision of the basic needs which is something more than existence . We should discuss how to build a dignified residence for the most vulnerable people in society and how we can cater for the needs of life for those who have been institutionalized
主席，我建議就《2017年撥款條例草案》動議的修正案，涉及削減社會福利署的運作開支370萬元，目的是削減社署未來一年以合約形式聘請的8位退休紀律部隊人員協助巡查安老院及殘疾院舍的預算開支。
Chairman I propose to move an amendment to the Appropriation Bill 2017 to reduce the operational expenses of the Social Welfare Department SWD amounting to 3.7 million . The objective is to reduce the estimated expenditure for employing in contract terms eight retired disciplined service officers to assist the inspections at residential care homes for the elderly and residential care homes for persons with disabilities
要有尊嚴，必須讓院舍內的人有屬於自己的私人空間、有自主的選擇，能夠選擇自己的喜好，發展自己的興趣，發揮自己的能力；要有生活，不能只有"四幅牆"，必須要安全、有社交，必須要與社區或社會有互動，能夠滿足日常生活的衣食住行、醫療、社交、康樂等需要，不需要為三餐或居所而煩惱。
They should be allowed to choose what they prefer develop their own hobbies and demonstrate their capabilities . To live a life is more than living within four walls . It includes safety social communication and interactions with the neighbourhood or community
這些作為一個人的基本需要，正是應該在福利政策或院舍制度中被正視、被討論，並納入制度考慮的範圍。
They should be free from worries about meals or residence . All these are the basic needs of a person which should be faced squarely and discussed in the context of welfare policies or residential care homes system . These issues should be incorporated into system considerations
交代和文書工作增多，與院友的接觸卻減少；問責增多了，但負責似乎減少。
Their answerability has increased but they have less responsibilities
而聘請8位退休紀律部隊人員巡查院舍更是不明所以，社署是否要有意無意對公眾人士說：院舍很危險，請盡快回家，當中甚至是涉及很多刑事罪行？
I just cannot understand why SWD must employ eight retired officers from disciplined services to inspect residential care homes . Is SWD trying to tell the public intentionally or otherwise that residential care homes are really dangerous and that the residents there should go home as soon as possible because many criminal offences are also involved?
我關心的是要提升院舍質素，但社署卻說要加強院舍監管。
What I care about is the improvement in the quality of residential care homes but SWD says it has to enhance the regulatory measures
即使退1萬步，即使加強監管真的可以提升質素，但為何要聘用退休紀律部隊人員呢？
Even if we do make an excessively enormous concession and even if the enhanced regulatory measures can improve the quality of residential care homes why should retired disciplined service officers be employed?
如果議員可以提出增加撥款，我必定要求增加社署的撥款，用以聘請不同的專業人員，並非只用作監管，而是提升人的生活質素。
If Members can propose an increase to the allocation I will definitely request to increase SWDs allocation for employing various professionals not only for regulatory purpose but also for improving the residents quality of life
局長，我們的專業人士對私營院舍運作的實務建議，探討了物理治療師在院舍內可扮演的角色。
Secretary in the practical suggestions made by our professionals on private residential care homes we have explored the role of physiotherapists in such homes
至於臨床心理學家，我們覺得他們在整個巡查隊中，可以保障院友的精神健康。
As to clinical psychologists we consider that among all members of the inspection team they can safeguard the mental well - being of residents
其實，院友真的有很多情緒和認知功能障礙，很需要為他們進行評估，以及提供具科學實證的心理治療。
In fact many residents are suffering from various emotion and cognitive function impairments thus they really need assessment and psychotherapy with scientific evidences
我們已說過多次，香港個案管理的做法與外國的操作非常不同。
I have repeated many times that Hong Kong adopts an approach which differ very much from overseas countries in case management
我在發言時，甚至建議聘請物理治療師，協助院舍安排復康活動，為各個院舍的員工提供訓練，或為院友訂立個人護理和復康計劃，我希望梁志祥議員明白。
In the speech I made I even suggested hiring physiotherapists to help residential care homes provide rehabilitation activities such as the provision of training for their staff or personalized care and rehabilitation programmes for the residents
回應蕭局長剛才提到的長者社區照顧服務券或長者院舍住宿照顧服務券的問題，我想重申，長者社區照顧服務券在界別內引起很大迴響，但政府人員一意孤行，繼續推行這種商品化的社會福利。
Responding to the issue raised by Secretary SUI with regard to the Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly or the Residential Care Service Voucher for the Elderly I would like to reiterate that the Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly has triggered a lot of feedback within the sector . At the insistence of Government officials the implementation of this kind of commodified social welfare continues after all
主席，院舍的輪候問題一直在社會中揮之不去，有長期照顧需要的長者和殘疾人士在欠缺充足的社區照顧下，只能選擇院舍作為出路。
Chairman the long waiting list for residential care homes is a lingering problem in society . In view of a lack of adequate community care services elderly persons and persons with disabilities who are in need of long - term care can only choose to go to residential care homes
以嚴重和中度弱智人士院舍為例，2014年至2015年的服務名額為2,384個，輪候人數為1,784個，而當年全年的新增名額只有20個，平均輪候時間為39個月。
Take residential care homes for persons with severe or moderate mental handicap as example 1 784 persons were queuing up for 2 384 service places in 2014 - 2015 and people had to wait 39 months on average as only 20 new places were added throughout that particular year
多年來，院舍的規劃遠遠追不上需求，令輪候人數及年期不斷上升。
Over the years the provision of residential care homes has not even come close to peoples demand and hence both the waiting period and the service waiting list are growing consistently
一個殘疾人士院舍的宿位成本大約是17萬元，如果社會和政府有願景，希望讓現時的輪候隊伍縮減一半，每年所需的額外開支只是8億元。
The cost of a place in a residential care home for persons with disabilities is about 170,000 . If a society and its Government have the vision to shorten the current waiting list by half it is only going to cost them an additional expenditure of 800 million
這不是自相矛盾，我們希 望帶出提供其他的服務思維和可能性，而這種可能性特別關乎保障殘疾人士的權利和提供照顧的需要。
This is not a self - contradiction as we would like to bring in the philosophy and possibility of alternative service provision . And such a possibility is particularly relevant to the need to protect the rights of persons with disabilities and to provide them with care
美國、加拿大和很多歐洲國家在1970年代已提倡"去院舍化"，以社區照顧為核心，盡量讓殘疾人士居住在自己家中或與家人同住。
In the United States Canada and many European countries deinstitutionalization was first championed as early as in the 1970s . Community care services were highlighted as persons with disabilities were allowed to live in their own homes or with their families as far as possible
我明白，我真的明白公共房屋的供應是緊張的，但有長期護理需要的殘疾人士生活困難，他們對照顧服務的需求，同樣需要社會正視。
I understand I do understand that the supply of PRH units is tight . But then our society also has to face up to the living difficulties experienced by persons with disabilities who are in need of long - term care services as well as their demand for care services
而我的建議清楚指出，削減其中8位退休紀律部隊人員，是因為巡查和監察院舍根本用不着紀律部隊的專業。
I have indicated clearly in my proposal that eliminating those eight retired disciplined service officers is suggested as the expertise of disciplinary forces is in no way helpful to the inspection and monitoring of residential care homes
我不明白為甚麼1年後，政府又要悲劇重現。
As such I do not understand why the Government has to make the tragedy happen again after shelving TSA for a year
今年的基本能力評估，雖然改了名，但實際上是換湯不換藥，2017年BCA的數學科試卷與2004年TSA的數學科試卷極其相似，而2004年中文科的試卷與2017年也是一模一樣，難道政府真的以為學校不會再操練嗎？
The nature of BCA is actually the same old stuff with a different name . The 2017 BCA Mathematics paper is very similar to the 2004 TSA Mathematics paper and the Chinese paper in 2004 was exactly the same as the paper in 2017 . Does the Government truly believe that schools will not drill their students for BCA?
其實TSA最大的問題在於操練，至今仍然有家長指子女所屬學校仍不斷要求學生操練，為甚麼教育局不好好考慮解決這問題，卻仍然執迷不悟？
The biggest problem with TSA is drilling . Some parents have indicated that their children are still drilled for the assessment . Why doesnt the Education Bureau consider resolving this problem adequately and not obstinately sticks to a wrong course?
有委員會委員不斷提出改善方案被拒，最後心灰離場，究竟我們的教育是為了作育英才還是比較？
Some committee members were greatly disappointed after their various proposals to improve the situation were turned down and eventually they left . Should education aim to nurture students and develop their potentials or to make comparison?
