事實上，不單是安達臣道，在黃大仙和慈雲山同樣也有土地已劃作診所用途，而油塘也有另一幅土地，是過往與房屋署對調的土地。
In fact sites for building clinics have not only been earmarked in Anderson Road for some sites are also earmarked in Wong Tai Sin and Tsz Wan Shan . There is another site in Yau Tong which is a site swapped with the Housing Department in the past
我認為這是重要的課題，特別是當施政報告強調要改善基層醫療服務，診所建設是推動基層醫療服務的基礎設施，是不可或缺的部分。
I think this is a significant matter particularly when the Policy Address emphasizes the need to enhance primary health care services for clinics are fundamental facilities for promotion of primary health care services
是否單是資源的問題呢？
Is it merely out of the resource consideration?
還是因為土地在衞生署手上，但負責處理診所服務的是醫院管理局呢？
Or is it because the sites are in the hands of the Department of Health yet outpatient services are handled by the Hospital Authority HA?
政府欲將社區醫院這概念實踐，但醫管局一直未見願意提供資源配合有關的工作。
The Government plans to implement this concept of community hospital yet HA has shown no inclination to provide resources to support the relevant work
主席，施政報告花了不少篇幅談論對罕見疾病病人的支援和有關工作的跟進，我對此表示非常歡迎。
President I heartily welcome the Policy Address as it has made much mention of the support for rare disease patients and the follow - up on the relevant tasks
然而，目前特首所提出的建議仍然未能回應罕見疾病病人和其家屬的要求。
Nevertheless the proposals put forth by the Chief Executive currently fail to respond to the demands of rare disease patients and their families all the same
就此，我希望特首能夠正視罕見疾病病人的訴求。
In this connection I hope the Chief Executive can address squarely the demands made by rare disease patients
其實，目前香港尚未制訂罕見疾病政策。
In fact Hong Kong has yet to formulate a policy for rare diseases even now
為何我多年來一直希望政府能夠制訂罕見疾病政策呢？
Why have I cherished the hope that the Government can formulate a rare disease policy over all these years?
如果有一整套政策，醫生培訓、社區支援及藥物資助制度便可以按照一套既定方法處理。
If a comprehensive policy can be put in place we may proceed with doctors training community support and the drugs subsidy system under an established approach
不過，香港現時尚未制訂這樣的一套政策，亦未建立罕見疾病資料庫，所以我們的醫療體系無法辨識誰患病。
But Hong Kong has hitherto not yet formulated such a policy or set up a database on rare diseases . For this reason our medical system is unable to identify those patients of rare diseases
現時甚至沒有統計系統，統計究竟有多少香港人患上罕見疾病。
At present there is even no system for compiling statistics on the number of Hong Kong people suffering from rare diseases
我過去曾接觸不少罕見疾病患者，有部分一出生時已經病發夭折。
I have got into touch with many rare disease patients over all these years . Some of them passed away soon after birth owing to the onset of their diseases
其實，有不少病者是經過如此漫長的過程，才能識別自己的基因出現缺憾。
Actually many patients have undergone such a prolonged process before realizing their genetic defects
所以，我希望政府設立資料庫、制訂定義，並提出政策，以支援罕見疾病患者。
So I hope the Government can set up a database make a definition and introduce a policy as a form of support for rare disease patients
這才是完整的政策，而並非進行小修小補。
A comprehensive policy should rather be like this and the authorities should not merely introduce patchy fixes
當然，現任行政長官願意走出來正視罕見疾病的問題，我對此表示非常歡迎。
Certainly I very much welcome the willingness of the incumbent Chief Executive to come forward to address the rare disease problem squarely
大家試想想，懷着嬰孩的孕婦要在這段漫長的過程中等候，承受不必要的風險，我認為是非常沒有必要的。
Members can imagine this . A pregnant woman with a fetus inside her body has to wait and withstand undue risks during this prolonged process . I think this is totally unnecessary
我不明白為何政府沒有這樣做。
I do not understand why the Government should refuse to introduce the said test
如果父母決定採取適當措施，便可採取適當措施。
If parents decide to take actions which they deem to be appropriate they may proceed to do so
有父母甚至會在結婚前進行婚前檢查，這是非常重要的一關，因為每個人的基因可能有先天缺憾，可能是數組基因有問題。
Some parents even receive premarital medical examinations before marriage . This is a very important step because there may be congenital defects in everybodys genes and problems with several groups of genes
如果兩個有相同隱性基因缺憾的人結婚，他們所生的嬰孩有四分之一機會患上基因病。
If two people with identical recessive genetic defects get married there is a 25 % chance for their baby to suffer from genetic diseases
因此，我們希望政府可以制訂一套政策，處理罕見疾病，而對於現有病人、要服藥的病人，以及產前檢查及婚前檢查，我們亦希望政府能提供完善的檢測，甚至進行完善的更改，這樣才能夠應付現在基因疾病所帶來的問題。
Therefore we hope that the Government can formulate a policy on dealing with rare diseases . Regarding the existing patients patients requiring medication as well as antenatal and premarital check - ups we also hope that the Government can provide sound examinations and even make comprehensive changes . Only so doing can the existing problems associated with genetic diseases be dealt with
不過，現時的進度實在非常緩慢。
But the present progress is honestly very slow
談過罕見疾病，我亦想探討中醫藥的問題。
Having discussed rare diseases I also wish to talk about issues relating to Chinese medicine
首先，是關於中醫的發展。
The first issue concerns the development of Chinese medicine
多年已過去，我們等了又等，但NGO卻發現負擔不來，因此政府決定自行出資興建，最後仍然是交由NGO營運。
Many years have passed and we have waited a long time . The NGO concerned has nonetheless found that it is unable to afford its construction . So the Government has decided to provide funding for its construction and the NGO concerned will have to finance its operation all the same in the end
歸根究底，是因為政府不希望負上營辦中醫服務的責任。
The underlying reason is that the Government does not want to take up the responsibility of operating Chinese medicine services
他們同樣是醫人，但西醫卻有良好待遇。
They likewise treat our illnesses but Western medicine practitioners are rewarded munificent remunerations
以中藥的註冊為例，原先有15,000種中藥，但至今"入閘"的只餘下7,000多種。
Speaking of the registration of Chinese medicine for example there were initially 15 000 types of Chinese medicine . But only 7 000 of them have managed to pass the threshold so far
其他的何去何從呢？
Where has the rest ended up?
被歷史及《條例》淘汰了。
They have been eliminated by history and CMO
訂定完整的註冊制度，要經過漫長的過程，至今只有極少數傳統中藥能夠完成整個註冊程序。
The formulation of a comprehensive registration system is necessarily a prolonged process . Only very few types of traditional Chinese medicine have been able to complete the whole registration process thus far
大家過去可能曾聽我討論《條例》的缺憾。
Members might have heard my discussions on the defects of CMO in the past
基本上，所有食用的雞在中藥藥典中皆會定性為中藥。
Basically all chickens fit for human consumption are classified as Chinese medicine in Chinese pharmacopoeias
火雞在中藥藥典中不屬於中藥，因此即使這款中藥用這種雞隻烹調而成，但由於這種雞在整道配方中不屬於中藥，因此這款產品不能歸類為"純粹中藥"。
But actually it is just a turkey . In Chinese pharmacopoeias turkeys are not regarded as Chinese medicine . Therefore even if this Chinese medicine product is made with this type of chicken it cannot be classified as pure Chinese medicine as this type of chicken in the whole formula is not regarded as Chinese medicine
鑒於《條例》有這個漏洞，以致坊間有大量副產品出現。
Owing to this loophole in CMO the community has seen an abundance of by - products
為何《條例》可以如此荒謬呢？
How can CMO be so very ridiculous?
香港的情況及《條例》便是如此荒謬，以致現時市面有售的健康食品和產品完全不受監管。
The situation in Hong Kong and CMO is this ridiculous with the result that health food products and other health products now offered for sale in the market are not subject to any regulation whatsoever
由於產品宣稱是健康食品，沒有訂明服用劑量，市民購買當作食品服用，吃多吃少，悉隨尊便。
As such products claim themselves to be health food products without specifying any dosage people buying such products as foodstuffs may decide the dosage on their own each time
因此，我希望政府能夠盡快制定一項規管健康食品的條例。
So I hope the Government can expeditiously enact an ordinance to regulate health food products
在精神病健康上，我想向局方反映一點。
On mental health I wish to reflect one point to the Bureau
施政報告提出會推動精神健康。
The Policy Address proposes to promote mental health
就食物及衞生局今年發表的《精神健康檢討委員會報告》，我曾提出若干建議。
I have made certain proposals in respect of the Report of the Review Committee on Mental Health the Report issued by the Food and Health Bureau this year
為全面了解《報告》有何不足之處，我曾親自與多個精神病人組職和關注團體會面，聽取他們在這方面的意見。
For the purpose of ascertaining the inadequacies of the Report I have personally met with a great number of associations and concern groups for patients with mental illnesses and listen to their views in this regard
他們均指出，《報告》沒有提出推動精神健康政策和長遠規劃，亦沒有全面檢視現時精 神健康服務的供應和需求差異。
They have invariably pointed out the failure of the Report to mention anything about promoting a policy and long - term planning for mental health and to comprehensively review the supply - demand discrepancy in the existing mental health services
例如，社區支援的資助資源嚴重不足。
One example is the serious shortage of subsidized resources for community support
政府一直希望推動社區實踐計劃，但如果他們的資源如此不足，試問又如何推展呢？
All along the Government has hoped that a community practice programme can be implemented . But if their resources are so insufficient how can they be able to take forward this programme?
所以，我希望政府在精神健康方面能夠加把勁，與業界加強溝通。
So I hope the Government can step up its efforts in promoting mental health and enhance its communication with the sector
重要的事情要說3次，希望局長聽到："65歲'生果金'免審查！
This important point must be repeated three times so that the Secretary can hear it clearly Fruit grant without means test for applicants aged 65!
65歲'生果金'免審查！
Fruit grant without means test for applicants aged 65!
住在愉景灣或珀麗灣的市民同樣有繳稅，但他們的長者卻無法享用這優惠，我相信大家會覺得這對他們不公平。
Residents of Discovery Bay and Park Island are also taxpayers . But their elderly people are not entitled to the fare concession . I believe Members will also agree that this is unfair to them
此外，當區人口眾多，因此我希望政府能夠深入檢視如何可以協助愉景灣和珀麗灣的長者，讓他們一如普遍長者般享受社會給予他們的共享成果兩元乘車優惠。
Moreover many people live in these two places so I hope the Government can thoroughly examine the provision of assistance to elderly people in Discovery Bay and Park Island so as to enable them to also enjoy the fruit offered by society in the form of the 2 concessionary fare just as other elderly people in general do
我希望勞工及福利局和運輸及房屋局可以就這問題加強溝通，制訂可行的政策，令所有長者均有機會受惠，而不是將愉景灣和珀麗灣的長者拒諸門外。
I hope the Labour and Welfare Bureau and the Transport and Housing Bureau can enhance communication on this matter and formulate a feasible policy in a bid to give all elderly people an opportunity to benefit from it rather than shutting the door on the elderly people in Discovery Bay and Park Island . President I so submit . prevention when it comes to rare genetic diseases
主席，新上任的行政長官林鄭月娥在10月11日發表第一份施政報告，我認為當中有符合市民和醫學界期望的措施，但亦有相當部分屬於新瓶舊酒。
President in the maiden Policy Address presented by the new Chief Executive Carrie LAM on 11 October I think there are measures that meet the expectations of the public and the medical profession but a considerable part of it is just old wine in a new bottle
我在這個議會其實說過很多次，由於《基本法》第一百零七條規定特區政府的財政預算以量入為出為原則，盡量避免赤字，所以政府的公共醫療開支往往要視乎財政收入的情況而定，甚至有時候財政有充裕盈餘時，對公營醫療機構的撥款也不一定相應增加。
As I have actually said many times in this Council given that Article 107 of the Basic Law requires the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to follow the principle of keeping expenditure within the limits of revenue in drawing up the budget and to avoid deficits by all means the public health care expenditure of the Government is often subject to the public revenue position and even in times of an abundant fiscal surplus the funding for the public health care sector may not necessarily increase accordingly
舉例說，為了響應政府"0-1-1"的節約方案，去年對香港醫院管理局的撥款比2015年減少0.5%，即減少2億3,600萬元。
For example in response to the 0 - 1 - 1 envelope savings programme the provisions for the Hong Kong Hospital Authority HA last year was 0.5 % less than 2015 representing a reduction of 236 million
由於服務需求大，醫管局向政府申請額外撥款，最終在去年的修訂預算中，政府對醫管局的撥款減少1,200萬元，即大概等於凍結開支。
Given the substantial demand for services HA sought additional funding from the Government and as a result in the revised estimate last year government funding for HA was cut by 12 million which was more or less equivalent to freezing the expenditure
因此，我在去年年底向當局提出書面質詢，詢問政府在人口老化對公共醫療的需求有增無減的情況下，為何提供給醫管局的經常撥款沒有相應上調？
In this connection at the end of last year I put a written question to the Government asking it why despite the ever growing demand for public health care services associated with population ageing the recurrent funding for HA had not increased correspondingly
食物及衞生局的回覆是撥款會考慮一系列因素，包括醫管局的營運和財政狀況，以及政府的整體財政狀況等，這便是政府的回覆。
The Food and Health Bureau replied that in determining the level of funding the Government would consider a series of factors including the operational and financial situation of HA as well as the Governments overall fiscal position
但是，政府的回覆沒有考慮到人口老化、疾病越趨複雜、輪候時間等因素，這些因素並不在政府考慮之列。
However the Governments reply has not considered such factors as population ageing the increasing complexity of diseases and the waiting time . These factors are not considered by the Government
鑒於公共醫療撥款一直追不上需要，我在2016年立法會的選舉政綱特別提出爭取政府增加醫療經常開支，包括增加20%的病床、人手和相關配套。
Given that the public health care funding has consistently failed to catch up with the needs in my platform in the 2016 Legislative Council Election I particularly proposed to strive for an increase in the Governments recurrent health care expenditure including an increase of 20 % in hospital beds manpower and relevant matching facilities
這份施政報告承諾每3年為一周期，按照人口增長比例和人口結構變動，逐步遞增給醫管局的經常撥款。
This Policy Address has undertaken to increase the recurrent funding for HA progressively on a triennium basis having regard to population growth rates and demographic changes
我非常樂見政府的取態積極，亦期望未來公共醫療經常撥款真的能按需求而定，而不是"睇餸食飯"，以改善公共醫療人手和資源不足，惠及市民。
I am very glad to see the Government adopting a proactive attitude . Meanwhile I hope that the recurrent expenditure for public health care in future can be determined according to the needs rather than the money available in order to ameliorate the shortage of manpower and resources in the public health care sector for the benefit of the public
雖然近數年政府收入都超出預期地理想，有高達萬億元的財政儲備，新任特首亦預期未來數年的經濟會繼續向好，但所謂"花無百日好"，香港始終會受經濟周期影響。
The Government has in recent years recorded higher - than - expected revenue amassing a fiscal reserve of as much as a thousand billion dollars and the new Chief Executive also expected the economy to remain in good shape in the next few years . But as the saying goes nothing good lasts forever Hong Kong is after all susceptible to economic cycles
未雨綢繆，趁現在有豐厚的財政盈餘，我再次建議政府為未來20年的公共醫療設立100億元的"公共醫療撥款穩定基金"，保證當我們因經濟周期而需要削減公共開支時，可以由這基金撥款十多二十億元作公共醫療撥款，這樣做其實已可以處理經濟周期轉差時要削減公共醫療開支的情況。
To prepare for a rainy day and as there is now a handsome fiscal surplus I once again propose to the Government the setting up of a 10 billion - fund for stabilizing public health care provisions for the public health care sector in the next two decades . The objective is to guarantee that when the economic cycle necessitates a reduction of public expenditure some 1 billion or 2 billion can be allocated out of this fund as public health care expenditure . This can actually address the situation where public health care expenditure has to be reduced in the event of the economic cycle taking a turn for the worse
即使人口繼續增長，人口繼續老化，這做法可保證醫療經常撥款不會因為經濟轉差而受影響。
Despite continual population growth and ageing this can guarantee that the recurrent health care funding is not affected by the economy sliding into recession
我看回過去20年，這情況只出現兩次，包括在SARS或經濟轉差時，我們曾削減開支3年，"0-1-1"節約方案也凍結開支兩年，故20年來只曾在3年至5年間出現這種情況。
In retrospect I found that there have been only two such cases in the last two decades including a reduction of expenditure for three years due to the outbreak of SARS or the economic doldrums and the freezing of expenditure for two years under the 0 - 1 - 1 envelope savings programme . So this has happened for only three to five years over the last two decades
如果設立這個穩定基金，便可以在該段時間撥出某部分款項，而在其他時間，基金則可滾存和賺取利息。
Had this stabilization fund been established back then a certain sum of money could have been provided during those periods of time whereas at other times the fund could have been accumulated and generated an income from interest
此外，特首承諾醫管局會聘用所有合資格本地醫科畢業生和提供專業培訓，向本地醫科生派"定心丸"，對此，我當然表示歡迎，因為本地培訓的醫生通常比非本地培訓的醫生更願意留在公共醫療機構為廣大市民服務。
Moreover the Chief Executive has undertaken that HA would employ all qualified local medical graduates and provide them with specialist training giving assurances to local medical graduates . This I certainly welcome because locally trained doctors are usually more willing to stay in the public health care sector to serve the general public than non - locally trained doctors
我曾進行一項簡單的調查，看看本地畢業和非本地畢業的醫生在5至6年後，究竟有多少人會留在醫管局工作？
I have conducted a simple survey on the respective numbers of local graduates and non - local graduates remaining in HA five to six years after graduation
我看到數字有很大差別。
I found a significant difference between their numbers
本地培訓的醫生通常都比較不怕捱苦，超過八成會繼續留在醫管局，而非本地培訓的醫生則少於剛才所說的一半，只有大約三至四成。
Locally trained doctors are generally more resilient to hardships as over 80 % of them stayed in HA whereas the number of non - locally trained doctors is not even up to half of the locally trained doctors as only about 30 % to 40 % of them remained in HA
施政報告指出未來5年會有大約2,000名本地醫科畢業生成為註冊醫生，如要醫管局全數聘用他們，政府必須有一定的財政承擔，因為這些軟件一定須動用經常開支，承諾能否全面兌現，我們拭目以待。
The Policy Address pointed out that about 2 000 local medical graduates will register as medical practitioners in the next five years . In order for HA to employ all of them the Government must make certain financial commitment because such software definitely requires recurrent expenditure . As to whether the Government can fully honour its promise we will wait and see
至於政府提出更積極透過有限度註冊的安排，聘請非本地培訓醫生到公營醫療系統提供臨床服務，我覺得這項建議具爭議性。
The Government has proposed to more proactively recruit non - locally trained doctors through limited registration to provide clinical services in the public health care system . I think this proposal is controversial
我在去年年底至今年年初曾委託大學機構進行調查，訪問了市民、醫生和醫學界選委，他們都明確反對大幅增加輸入有限度註冊醫生，反對率依次是78%、82%和85%。
I commissioned a tertiary institution to conduct a survey from the end of last year to early this year in which members of the public doctors and EC members from the medical subsector were interviewed and they clearly opposed admission of a substantially increased number of doctors with limited registration . Their opposition rates are 78 % 82 % and 85 % respectively
我們在法案委員會審議《2017年醫生註冊條例草案》時，不少議員都質疑政府建議將有限度註冊的年期由不少於1年延長至不少於3年的做法。
During our deliberation in the Bills Committee on Medical Registration Amendment Bill 2017 quite a large number of Members queried the Governments proposal for extending the validity period of limited registration from not exceeding one year to not exceeding three years
事實上，以往曾有有限度註冊醫生涉及醫療事故，但最終也無法追究，因為涉事醫生已經離開。
In fact there have been cases of doctors with limited registration being involved in medical incidents but eventually it was impossible to pursue their responsibility because the doctors involved had already left Hong Kong
醫管局和兩間大學醫學院聘用有限度註冊醫生所要求的資歷亦有不同，我在法案委員會的會議上亦曾經指出一些偏離法例的例子，而現行審批機制亦難以保證有限度註冊醫生的臨床質素，這便是我們現行機制的情況。
The qualifications required of doctors with limited registration employed by HA and the medical schools of the two universities are also different . At meetings of the Bills Committee I also pointed out some examples of departure from the law and it is difficult for the existing vetting and approval mechanism to guarantee the clinical quality of doctors with limited registration . This is the situation of our existing mechanism
在醫療部分，着墨最多的是基層醫療。
In the part on health care services most paragraphs are devoted to primary health care
首先，我十分歡迎政府把更多資源投放到基層醫療。
First of all I very much welcome the Government injecting more resources into primary health care
如果做得好，便可以減輕市民對醫管局專科及住院服務的需求。
If such work is carried out effectively the public demand for the specialist and hospitalization services of HA can be reduced
特首在施政報告中特別提到，在上世紀90年代初，政府曾成立基層醫療健康檢討委員會，特首本人亦有參與其中。
In the Policy Address the Chief Executive particularly mentioned that in the early 1990s the Government established the Working Party on Primary Health Care which saw involvement of the Chief Executive herself too
其實，政府曾不止一次對基層醫療進行檢視，較具體的例子是在2008年10月，即大概10年前。
In fact the Government has more than once conducted a review of primary health care services . A more specific example was the review conducted in October 2008 which was about a decade ago
當時，健康與醫療發展諮詢委員會轄下的基層醫療工作小組重新成立，由時任食物及衞生局局長周一嶽擔任主席，就本港基層醫療服務的發展策略提出意見。
Back then the Working Group on Primary Care WGPC under the Health and Medical Development Advisory Committee HMDAC chaired by the then Secretary for Food and Health Dr York CHOW was reconvened to advise on strategic directions for the development of primary care in Hong Kong
健康與醫療發展諮詢委員會在2015年重組，接管了工作小組負責制訂本港基層醫療服務總體發展政策的工作。
HMDAC was reorganized in 2015 to subsume under it the work of WGPC with regard to broader policy issues on primary care development in Hong Kong
在今年10月16日衞生事務委員會的施政報告簡報會上，我已請當局解釋再成立督導委員會的作用，而食物及衞生局局長陳教授回覆時指，督導委員會屬另一層次，負責全面設計基層醫療健康藍圖，而且不單包括基層醫療，更會着重預防、醫社合作、公私營合作，以及在社區統籌所有服務。
At the briefing on the Policy Address in the Panel on Health Services on 16 October this year I asked the authorities to explain the purpose of establishing this steering committee . The Secretary for Food and Health Prof Sophia CHAN said in reply that the steering committee belongs to another level and is responsible for producing a comprehensive design of the primary health care blueprint which not only includes primary health care but also emphasizes prevention medical - social collaboration public - private partnership and coordination of all services by the community
其次，食物及衞生局局長所指的公私營合作、醫社合作和在社區統籌所有服務等，其實正正是基層醫療統籌處的職能，並非另一層次的工作。
Besides the public - private partnership medical - social collaboration and coordination of all services by the community as referred to by the Secretary for Food and Health are precisely the functions of the Primary Care Office not the work at another level
如果談到另一層次，於10年前成立的健康與醫療發展諮詢委員會已是一個方向性的架構，現時亦仍在運作中。
Talking about work at another level HMDAC established a decade ago is a structure of a directional nature and is still operating now
然後，政府又提出在葵青區設立全新運作模式的地區康健中心作為試點項目，並長遠希望在各區設立地區康健中心。
Then the Government proposed the pilot scheme of setting up a district health centre with a brand new operation mode in Kwai Tsing District in the hope that district health centres can be set up in various districts in the long term
不過，基層醫療統籌處的其中一項重要職能，便是在社區設立社區健康中心或社區健康中心網絡。
However a key function of the Primary Care Office is to set up Community Health Centres or CHC networks in local communities
究竟新的康健中心與現有的健康中心有何不同呢？
So what is the difference between the new district health centre and the existing CHCs?
有傳媒報道，被政府指定為試點的葵青區，現時便有5間功能類似健康中心的長者健康資源中心，全港則共有100間類似中心，令人關注到這些長者健康中心的資源如何能夠與地區康健中心，以至社區健康中心協調，抑或只是各有各做，令資源不能有效運用？
There are media reports disclosing that in Kwai Tsing District designated by the Government for implementing the pilot scheme there are already five elderly health and resources centres similar to the health centres and there are a total of 100 similar centres across the territory . This has aroused concern about how the resources of these elderly health centres can be coordinated with the district health centres and even CHCs . Or will they only provide services on their own separately hence precluding effective utilization of the resources?
因此，大家必須認真考慮及思考清楚。
Therefore we must consider this issue seriously and give it careful thoughts
此外，政府提到發展中醫藥。
Moreover the Government has mentioned the development of Chinese medicine
醫學界認為隨着市民對中醫藥服務需求越來越殷切，普遍也支持政府提倡的中醫藥發展及興建中醫院，亦會密切關注它的運作和服務範疇。
In view of the increasingly keen demand from the public for Chinese medicine services the medical profession generally supports the development of Chinese medicine and the construction of a Chinese medicine hospital advocated by the Government and will closely keep in view its operation and scope of service
在過去的會議上亦曾經有意見提出，希望新興建的中醫院可以納入公營服務，同時亦對中西合作模式表示關注和憂慮，希望政府認真考慮。
In past meetings there were views expressing the wish for this new Chinese medicine hospital to be incorporated into the public sector and there were also concerns and worries about the model of collaboration between Chinese and Western medical practitioners . I hope the Government can take these into consideration seriously
至於很多議員剛才也提到，以及香港近年經常討論的另一範疇，便是罕見疾病病人及其家屬要求政府制訂政策，以期獲得更有效的支援。施政報告只說政府會按個別情況，為有特殊臨床需要的不常見疾病病人就特定藥物治療提供資助，包括讓合適的病人參與個別藥廠的恩恤用藥計劃。
As for another issue mentioned by many Members earlier and often discussed in Hong Kong in recent years that is patients of rare diseases and their families calling on the Government to formulate policies in the hope of obtaining more effective support the Policy Address has only said that the Government will provide patients with subsidies for specific drug treatments according to special clinical needs of patients of rare diseases and eligible patients will be subsidized to participate in compassionate programmes of individual pharmaceutical companies
