我在2016年10月18日在司法及法律事務委員會會議上正式提出，希望當局能安排詳細討論及跟進，把審裁處的司法管轄權限由5萬元上調。
At the meeting of the Panel on Administration of Justice and Legal Services on 18 October 2016 I formally asked the authorities to arrange a detailed discussion on adjusting the 50,000 jurisdictional limit of SCT and to follow up on the matter
在2017年2月15日，我亦在立法會提出書面質詢，明確指出希望審裁處的司法管轄權限由5萬元提高至10萬元。
On 15 February 2017 I asked a written question at the Council meeting and clearly pointed out that I wished to raise SCTs jurisdictional limit from 50,000 to 100,000
其後，在2017年4月，司法及法律事務委員會亦正式安排了一次討論。
Subsequently the Panel on Administration of Justice and Legal Services arranged a formal discussion in April 2017
經過一段時間後，最近政府正式向立法會提交擬議決議案，我有幸擔任小組委員會主席，參與小組委員會的審議工作。
Some time later the Government has recently submitted a formal proposed resolution to the Legislative Council . I am honoured to be the Chairman of the Subcommittee and have participated in the deliberations
在整個審議過程中，我們注意到有數點比較重要，我希望能在今次會議清晰表達。
In the whole process of deliberation we noted a few rather important points which I wish to expound on at this meeting
我們在地區曾處理很多法律諮詢個案，從中得知，審裁處的好處是訴訟雙方無需亦不能聘用律師，可避免產生律師費的風險。
From our experience of handling many cases seeking legal advice in the community we have learnt that for cases to be handled in SCT both parties need not and cannot have legal representation thus removing the risks of paying legal fees
我記得當日很多委員均不約而同詢問把司法管轄權限提高至10萬元是否可行。
I remember that on that day many members coincidentally asked whether it was feasible to raise the jurisdictional limit to 100,000
第一，如果一下子把限額提高至10萬元，司法機構的人手及配套未必能應付，從而影響機構運作。
First if the limit was raised to 100,000 in one stroke the manpower and support measures of the Judiciary might not be able to meet the needs thus affecting its operation
我們在小組委員會上也有提出這問題。
We have already asked the Judiciary about this issue at the Subcommittee
代理主席，兩個律師會就今次的安排表達了意見，他們均贊同和支持司法機構和政府以把限額提高至75,000元作為起步點。
Deputy President the two legal bodies have expressed their views on the current proposed arrangement . Both of them agree and support the Judiciary and the Government in raising the limit to 75,000 as a starting point
特別重要的是，我們在小組委員會明確要求司法機構必須回應市民的訴求，即50,000元申索限額長期沒有檢討，應該有所提高。
It is particularly important that Members have made it clear at the Subcommittee that the Judiciary has to respond to public demand and raise the claim limit of 50,000 which has not been reviewed for a long time
現在看來，75,000元只能作為起步點，不能就此終結。
My present view is that raising the limit to 75,000 should only be regarded as a starting point and the matter should not end there
代理主席，政府根據《小額錢債審裁處條例》動議擬議決議案，將現時小額錢債審裁處民事司法管轄權的申索限額，由50,000元提高至75,000元。
Deputy President in the proposed resolution moved under the Small Claims Tribunal Ordinance the Government proposes to raise the jurisdictional limit of the Small Claims Tribunal SCT from 50,000 to 75,000
政府承諾會密切監察審裁處兩年內案件的統計數字，視乎是次修訂對審裁處的實際運作所帶來的影響，再審視是否進一步提高審裁處的司法管轄權限。
The Government has promised to monitor closely the caseload of SCT in the next two years and subject to the impact of this amendment on SCTs practical operation the Government will then decide whether or not to further raise SCTs jurisdictional limit
代理主席，我剛才很留心聽周浩鼎議員的發言。
Deputy President I have listened very closely to Mr Holden CHOWs speech and was quite glad to hear the first part of it
他表示，如果金額再高會更好，但他初步覺得應該是10萬元。
He indicated that it would even be better if the limit was higher but he would settle with 100,000 at the initial stage
還有一點，如果我們否決75,000元的限額，司法機構便會重新研究，做一大輪工夫，這些工夫不知何時做完，可能要一兩年時間，這樣目前在審裁處審理介乎50,000元與75,000元的申索，便不能受惠，他覺得這樣會令有關苦主非常失望。
Another point was that if we negatived the 75,000 limit the Judiciary would have to study the issue again and the time required was unknown which might take one or two more years or even longer . In that case claims between 50,000 and 75,000 could not be handled in SCT as proposed bringing great disappointment to claimants
剛才周浩鼎議員說，最好提高到150,000元。
According to Mr Holden CHOW it would be best if the limit was raised to 150,000
代理主席，對於這個說法，很多時我們都會這樣想，政府提出的議案一定會比原先的制度好、受惠人數一定較原先的多，這是必然的，否則政府亦不會提出來。
Deputy President in respect of such a view we often think that the proposal put forward by the Government must be better than the original system benefiting more people; otherwise the Government would not have made the proposal
代理主席，我希望向梁耀忠議員澄清，他說，如果我們要求將限額增加到10萬元，政府會收回議案，或者不肯動議擬議決議案。
Deputy President I wish to clarify to Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung . He said if we requested to raise the limit to 100,000 the Government would withdraw the motion or it would refuse to move the proposed resolution
梁耀忠議員，你可選擇澄清或繼續發言。
Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung you may choose to clarify or continue with your speech
所以，就這點上，我完全不同意周浩鼎議員這番說話。
Hence I totally disagree with Mr Holden CHOW on this point
二十年沒有提高，現在只增加25,000元，是否公道？
The limit has not been raised for 20 years and now the increase is merely 25,000 . Is it fair?
政府是否很"離地"，是否不知民情？
Has the Government lost touch with the reality and public sentiment?
大家都知道，基層市民沒有錢，不能找律師上區域法院進行訴訟，只能依賴審裁處。
As we all know the grass roots cannot afford to hire a lawyer to institute litigations in the District Court and they can only rely on SCT to claim the money
我不相信政府會這樣做，如果這是一個問責政府，能為市民大眾爭取一個公道合理的制度，便不應該這樣做，否則它應受到千夫所指。
I do not believe the Government will take such actions . If the Government is responsible and seeks to establish a just and reasonable system for the public it should not take the above actions; otherwise it will be condemned universally
該條例要求承建商須為總價值超過100萬元徵款門檻的建造工程，向議會繳付相當於建造工程價值0.5%的徵款，以支持議會的工作，包括就建造業相關事宜向政府提供意見，以及為建造業工人提供培訓。
Under CICO for construction operations with total value exceeding the levy threshold at 1 million contractors are required to pay a levy at 0.5 % of the value of construction operations to CIC to support its functions which include advising the Government on construction - related matters and providing training to construction workers
至於總價值不高於100萬元的小型建造工程，承建商則無須繳交徵款，而這個安排可以減輕中小型承建商的財務負擔。
To alleviate the financial burden on small and medium contractors small - scale construction operations with total value not exceeding the levy threshold at 1 million are not liable to the levy
議會於2008年1月與前建造業訓練局合併時，沿用了當時定為100萬元的徵款門檻。這個門檻在1985年訂定，多年未有調整。
The prevailing levy threshold at 1 million which was adopted when CIC amalgamated with the then Construction Industry Training Authority in January 2008 has remained unchanged since stipulated in 1985
為合適地減輕中小型承建商的財務負擔，議會就徵款門檻進行了檢討。
To appropriately relieve the financial burden on small and medium contractors CIC completed a review on the levy threshold
參考過去多年的通貨膨脹水平，議會提出將徵款門檻提高至300萬元。
Taking into account inflation over the past years CIC recommended the Government to raise the levy threshold to 3 million
根據議會估計，提高門檻後，約四分之一現時須繳交徵款的建造工程可獲豁免，因而會令議會的徵款收入每年減少約800萬元，佔其每年徵款總收入的1%。
According to CICs assessment after raising the levy threshold around one fourth of the construction operations currently paying the levy will be exempted . CIC would hence forgo around 8 million annually equivalent to about 1 % of its annual levy income
議會目前的財務狀況穩健，應該可以妥善處理徵款收入減少的影響。
Given its healthy financial position CIC should be able to properly absorb the impact of the reduction in levy income
此外，議會亦已就擬議修訂與建造業持份者達成共識。
CIC has also reached consensus with industry stakeholders on the proposed amendment
為避免對承建商造成混淆，以及方便行政，我們認為應對該3項條例作出同樣的修訂，以統一徵款門檻。
To avoid confusion to contractors and facilitate administration we hold that the same amendment should be made to these three ordinances with a view to aligning the levy threshold
為此，我和勞工及福利局局長會分別提出議案，以提高《條例》及《肺塵埃沉着病及間皮瘤條例》下的徵款門檻。
In this connection the Secretary for Labour and Welfare and I will move motions respectively to raise the levy threshold under CICO and PMCO
立法會早前成立了附屬法例小組委員會，審議這兩項擬議決議案。
Earlier on the Legislative Council formed a subcommittee on subsidiary legislation to scrutinize these two proposed resolutions
小組委員會舉行一次會議，順利完成審議工作，對兩項擬議決議案並無建議更改。
The Subcommittee has completed the scrutiny smoothly after holding one meeting and has not proposed any amendments to the two proposed resolutions
我在此感謝小組委員會主席何啟明議員和其他委員的支持。
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Chairman of the Subcommittee Mr HO Kai - ming and other Subcommittee members for their support
在立法會通過《條例》和《肺塵埃沉着病及間皮瘤條例》的擬議決議案後，我們亦會提交修訂《建造業工人註冊條例》下的徵款門檻的公告，進行"先訂立後審議"的程序。
Following the passage of the proposed resolutions under CICO and PMCO we will table the amendment notice to revise the levy threshold under CWRO for negative vetting
主席，我謹此陳辭，懇請各位議員支持這項議案。
With these remarks President I implore Members to support this motion
我現在請發展局局長發言答辯。
I now call upon the Secretary for Development to reply
代理主席，我非常感謝各位議員剛才對政府建議提高3項條例下的徵款門檻的支持。
Deputy President I sincerely thank Members for supporting the Governments proposal to increase the levy thresholds under the three Ordinances
今次政府提出的議案可以合理地減輕中小型承建商的財務負擔。
The motion proposed by the Government can reasonably alleviate the financial burden of small and medium contractors
新的門檻反映過去多年間通貨膨脹的水平，而建造業議會亦有能力處理減少徵款收入帶來的輕微影響，議會亦與建造業持份者達成共識。
The new thresholds reflect the inflation levels in the past few years and the Construction Industry Council is capable of handling the slight impact of reducing levy incomes and it has already reached a consensus with the stakeholders in the construction industry
在此，我衷心感謝各位議員對我們調整門檻建議的支持。
I sincerely thank all Members for supporting our proposal to adjust the thresholds
主席，今天難為了蘇副局長要代替陳帆局長來立法會"一夫當關"，不但要代表運輸及房屋局、特區政府，甚至要代表香港鐵路有限公司在這裏備受議員的奚落、嘲諷或批評。
President today Under Secretary Dr Raymond SO has a hard time coming to the Legislative Council to take up all the challenges in place of Secretary Frank CHAN . Not only does he need to represent the Transport and Housing Bureau or the SAR Government but he also needs to represent the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL being subject to the derision ridicule or criticism of Members
這份工作真的不容易做。
This is really not an easy job for him
主席，在1998年8月7日，江西省九江市長江大堤決堤，時任國務院總理朱鎔基兩天後到當地視察災情。
President on 7 August 1998 the dam on the Yangtze River in Jiujiang Jiangxi Province was breached and ZHU Rongji the then Premier of the State Council arrived at the site two days later for inspection
當時朱總理說過以下一番話："你們之前不是說大堤固若金湯嗎？
Premier ZHU then said I quote Didnt you say that the dam was impregnable?
一些承包單位沒有建築資格，或是承攬項目太多，紛紛將項目轉包出去，以致造成層層承包、層層剝皮，製造了一個個偷工減料、以次充好的'豆腐渣'工程！
Some contractors do not have construction qualifications or they have taken up too many projects hence they have subcontracted some items leading to subcontracting and exploitation at various levels and giving rise to quite a number of jerry - built shoddy projects through the use of inferior materials!
這樣的工程要從根子查起，對負責設計、施工、監理的人員都要追查。
As regards such projects we must get to the root of the problem and those who are responsible for design construction and supervision shall all be investigated
腐敗到這種程度，怎麼得了！
Corruption to such an extent is simply awful!
" 主席，朱總理這番說話，香港人今天聽在耳裏，真是百般滋味在心頭。
End of quote President these words of Premier ZHU must have aroused mixed feelings of Hong Kong people today
為何香港回歸後需要實行"一國兩制"？
Why does Hong Kong need to implement one country two systems following the reunification?
黃子華的說法是因為"中國大陸也承認其一制真的很嚇人"。
In the words of Dayo WONG The Mainland also acknowledges that its one system is very scary
正是因為香港的制度較內地先進，所以鄧小平當年才會設計"一國兩制"。
Exactly because the system of Hong Kong is more advanced than that of the Mainland DENG Xiaoping then designed one country two systems
但是，為甚麼在20年前，前總理朱鎔基在目睹關乎人命的偷工減料工程時，可以對承建商發出上述如此嚴厲的批評，而在20年後發生這次沙中線事件，在社會制度理應比較先進的香港，竟然沒有一位政府官員敢為香港人說一兩句公道說話，出一口氣呢？
Twenty years ago when former Premier ZHU Rongji saw the jerry - built projects that affected peoples lives he raised strong criticisms against contractors; 20 years later when the Shatin to Central Link SCL incident happened in Hong Kong a place where the social system is supposedly more advanced how come no government official dares make some fair comments and seek justice for Hong Kong people?
如果建築問題沒有被傳媒揭露，沙中線真的如期通車，最後因為月台倒塌非常希望這不會發生導致人命傷亡，我幾乎可以百分之一百肯定，將來的政府官員只會說："我們會全方位、多角度、嚴肅跟進。
If construction problems had not been revealed by the media and if SCL was commissioned as scheduled a platform might have been collapsed―I very much hope that this will not happen―resulting in casualties . I can say for sure that by then government officials would only say we will seriously follow up on all fronts and from various perspectives
" 主席，沙中線"豆腐渣"工程反映的是一個城市的衰退和沒落。
President the SCL shoddy project reflects the decay and downfall of a city
只是短短20年，香港已經出現如此嚴重的"返祖現象"甚麼也跟從祖國那一套。
Within a mere 20 years a serious phenomenon of following all the practices of the Motherland has emerged in Hong Kong
我不會枉自猜測行政機關、工程界，以至仲裁人員背後有甚麼千絲萬縷的關係，我亦不會估計這次涉事的承建商禮頓建築有限公司連同與其屬同一母公司的UGL和前特首梁振英有任何關係。
I will not recklessly speculate on the complex entanglements among the Executive Authorities the construction and engineering sectors and the arbitrators; nor will I assume that the contractor involved in this incident Leighton Contractors Asia Limited Leighton and UGL which belong to the same parent group have any connection with former Chief Executive LEUNG Chun - ying
我只想強調一點，出現這些"豆腐渣"工程，原因不外乎利益二字，而香港之所以為香港，是因為我們素來也有一套制度來監管和防止有人為了利益而罔顧公眾安全。
I only want to stress one point that is the emergence of such a shoddy project is simply attributed to the pursuit of interests and the reason why Hong Kong is Hong Kong is that we have a set of well - established regulatory regimes to prevent people from seeking interests at the expense of public security
這套制度應該是全方位、多角度，而且必須是公義的，更重要的是具透明度。
This set of regime should be comprehensive multi - angle fair and just and more importantly transparent
很多保皇黨議員也說政府已成立獨立調查委員會調查， 立法會何須再調查？
Many royalist Members query why the Legislative Council should conduct a separate investigation when the Government has already set up an independent commission of inquiry to conduct an investigation
香港人是否還記得3年前的鉛水事件？
Do Hong Kong people still remember the lead - in - water water incident three years ago?
政府同樣委任了法官成立獨立調查委員會調查，而保皇黨否決立法會引用《立法會條例》的議案，導致專責委員會無法成立。
The Government likewise set up an independent commission of inquiry led by a Judge and the royalists vetoed a motion of the Council to invoke the Legislative Council Ordinance blocking the establishment of a select committee
結果，由法官領導的獨立調查委員會的報告批評多個部門集體失職，但時任政務司司長林鄭月娥表示沒有一個公務員需要負責。
In the end the report of the independent commission of inquiry led by a Judge criticized various departments for a collective dereliction of duty but the then Chief Secretary for Administration Carrie LAM indicated that no civil servant should be held accountable
香港人應該記得最後是水喉匠有問題，把責任推卸到水喉匠身上，要他們承擔刑事責任。
Hong Kong people should remember that plumbers were ultimately found guilty the responsibility was shifted to them and they were held criminally liable
我們的制度公義去了哪裏，主席？
Where is our institutional justice President?
更重要的是，我們絕對不能忘記的一點，便是行政機關與立法機關是兩個獨立部門，行政機關做了，不等於立法會沒有責任做。
More importantly we should never forget that the Executive Authorities and the legislature are two independent bodies . The fact that the Executive Authorities have undertaken a certain task does not mean the Legislative Council is not duty - bound to perform the task
立法會的主要職能是監察政府的工作，試問監察者怎能完全信任被監察者所做的一切都是正確無誤呢？
A main function of the Legislative Council is to monitor the work of the Government so how can the monitoring party be fully convinced that the party being monitored is infallible in everything it does?
還有一點是非常重要的，便是政府是港鐵公司的大股東，當有工程事故發生，由最大的股東主動調查固然是理所當然，責之所在。
Another important point is that the Government is the major shareholder of MTRCL . Following the occurrence of a major works incident the largest shareholder naturally has the responsibility to take the initiative to conduct an investigation
然而，正正因為大股東這個有利益衝突的身份，政府在調查完成後，會否把自己的股東利益置於公眾安全之上？
However owing to the conflict of interest that may arise due to the Governments status as a major shareholder will the Government put its shareholder interests above public security upon completion of the investigation?
政府能否站在一個完全獨立和抽離的位置來處理？
Will the Government take a fully independent and detached position to deal with this matter?
即使政府真的想這樣做，公眾又會否懷疑？
Will members of the public have doubts even if the Government really intends to do so?
再者，政府成立的獨立調查委員會只會調查紅磡站，但沙中線的土瓜灣站和會展站亦涉嫌出事，政府會否為每個出事的車站也成立獨立調查委員會？
In addition the independent Commission of Inquiry set up by the Government will only investigate Hung Hom Station but it is alleged that there are also problems in To Kwa Wan Station and Exhibition Centre Station of SCL . Will the Government set up an independent commission of inquiry for every station that is in trouble?
屆時有否足夠的獨立人士或退休法官願意承擔這些獨立調查委員會的重責？
Will there be sufficient independent individuals or retired judges who are willing to be in charge of such independent commissions of inquiry?
即使真的多成立數個獨立調查委員會，會否真的如政府和保皇黨同事所說是架床疊屋？
Even if some more independent commissions of inquiry are established will they be superfluous as claimed by the Government and royalist Members?
反觀鄭松泰議員的議案，除了寫明調查紅磡站月台，還寫明"以及其他相關事宜"。
On the other hand Dr CHENG Chung - tais motion provides for inquiring into the platform of Hung Hom Station and other related matters
萬一希望真的只是萬一將來沙中線的每個車站也出現令人憂慮的問題，由立法會成立的專責委員會展開調查，便更能避嫌、更有彈性、更能獨立地工作，以維持和彰顯我們的制度公義。
If―I really hope this will only be hypothetical―any worrying problems occur at every station of SCL in the future a select committee set up by the Legislative Council for investigation will avoid conflict of interest have greater flexibility and operational independence to maintain and highlight our institutional justice
蘇副局長剛才表示，要引用《條例》，必須牽涉重大事件、人命傷亡、公眾利益、官員失職等。
Under Secretary Dr Raymond SO indicated just now that the Ordinance should only be invoked in case of a major incident involving casualties public interests and dereliction of duty on the part of officials
主席，我真的很想問蘇副局長，工程牽涉如此大的金額，特區成立接近21年來，有否出現過如此嚴重的基建醜聞呢？
President I really want to ask Under Secretary Dr Raymond SO the following question . Has there been any other serious scandal concerning infrastructure project that involves such a large sum of money over the past 21 years following the establishment of the SAR?
如果必須滿足以上條件，才能引用《條例》成立專責委員會，我真的很想請蘇副局長或稍後可能反對議案的保皇黨同事回答我們，這次牽涉的事宜真的不符合重大公眾利益嗎？
If the aforesaid condition must be fulfilled before the Ordinance can be invoked to set up a select committee may I ask Under Secretary Dr Raymond SO or royalist Members who may vote against the motion later whether the incident concerned is really not related to major public interests?
我真的不明白，主席，我真的希望有人告訴我，為何事件牽涉如此重要、如此眾多、如此廣闊的工程弊病、醜聞，竟然與公眾利益無關。
I am truly puzzled . President I sincerely hope that someone may tell me why this incident which involves an extensive range of major problems and scandals on project works is surprisingly not related to public interests
我必須再次提醒各位議員和香港人，上次引用《條例》成立專責委員會是2012年，以調查梁振英的"西九門事件"。
I must remind Members and Hong Kong people once again that the last time the Ordinance was invoked to set up a select committee was 2012 and at that time the investigation was related to the West Kowloon - gate scandal involving LEUNG Chun - ying
如果沒有保皇黨幫忙投下贊成票，當天便無法成立專責委員會。
If royalist Members had not offered help by casting affirmative votes a select committee would not have been set up at that time
如果我們這次贊成鄭松泰議員的議案是政治化，我希望大家回想2012年投下贊成票的保皇黨議員，想想何謂政治化。
If our voting for Dr CHENG Chung - tais motion this time around is politicization I hope Members will recall why royalist Members cast affirmative votes in 2012 and think about what is meant by politicization
主席，這次事件有另一個主角，名為禮頓。這間公司承包大量的政府工程，包括高鐵西九龍總站，以及另外7項政府工程。
President another protagonist in this incident is Leighton which is the contractor of a lot of government projects including the West Kowloon Terminus of the Express Rail Link and seven other government projects
根據傳媒報道，這些工程涉及近600億元的款項。
According to media reports such projects involve some 60 billion
究竟這間公司是否真的大到沒人敢碰它？
Is this company really so big that no one dares to touch it?
如果特區政府不敢碰它，可由立法會代勞。
If the SAR Government dares not to touch it the Legislative Council can do the job for it
當然，這次根據《條例》動議的議案通過的機會看來甚微，我只是希望說服保皇黨同事，其實這次"豆腐渣"工程是最好的機會，讓我們重建香港人對基建和香港制度的信心。
Certainly the chance of passing this motion moved under the Ordinance is slim . I merely hope to convince royalist Members that the shoddy project in question provides the best opportunity for us to rebuild Hong Kong peoples confidence in infrastructure and the institutions of Hong Kong
完全沒有人希望看見一個一個千億元的工程原來都是"豆腐渣"，危害公眾安全。
None of us wishes to see that projects that cost hundreds of billions of dollars turn out to be shoddy and detrimental to public security
更沒有人希望我們要回到朱元璋的年代，城牆上每塊磚也要刻上官員和工人的名字，哪部分牆倒塌，便能調查到由誰負責，屆時便能砍誰的頭。
Neither do we wish to return to the era of ZHU Yuanzhang when every brick of the city wall must be inscribed with the name of the official and the worker in charge so that should any portion of the wall collapse those who were in charge would be identified and beheaded
我只是希望香港可以變回香港。
I only hope that Hong Kong can still be Hong Kong
主席，就議員的質詢，我現答覆如下： 一 根據發展局的資料，該局和規劃署於去年完成《香港2030+：跨越2030年的規劃遠景與策略》公眾參與活動，現正分析公眾意見，並計劃今年內完成相關技術評估，然後敲定最新的全港發展策略。
President my reply to the Members question is as follows 1 According to information provided by the Development Bureau the Development Bureau and the Planning Department PlanD completed the public engagement exercise for the Hong Kong 2030 Towards a Planning Vision and Strategy Transcending 2030 last year . They are now analysing the views received from the public and planning to complete the relevant technical assessments within this year before finalizing the latest territorial development strategy
《香港2030+》研究對房屋、經濟以至"政府、機構或社區"的長遠用地需求作出概括評估，而安老及康復服務設施屬於"政府、機構或社區"設施的一種。
Hong Kong 2030 study is a broad - brush assessment on the long - term land requirements of various uses including housing economic as well as Government Institution and Community GIC facilities and facilities for the elderly and persons with disabilities PWDs are among GIC category
為更新全港的發展策略，發展局和規劃署會跟勞工及福利局和相關政策局商討，如何把安老和康復服務及其他範疇的最新政策措施的額外土地需求，納入日後的發展策略內。
To update the territorial development strategy for Hong Kong the Development Bureau and PlanD will discuss with the Labour and Welfare Bureau and other relevant Policy Bureaux on how to incorporate additional land requirements arising from the latest policy measures concerning elderly and rehabilitation services as well as other areas in our future development strategies
二 《香港規劃標準與準則》內有關安老服務設施的規劃標準與準則載於該文件第三章"社區設施"。
2 The planning standards and guidelines on the facilities for the elderly are set out in Chapter 3 Community Facilities of the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines HKPSG
至於長者綜合服務中心和長者活動中心，其舊有標準分別為每17,000名及每2,000名65歲或以上長者設1間中心。
Prior to the amendment the previous planning standards were 17 Care - and - Attention places for every 1 000 elderly persons aged 65 or above one Day Care Centre for the Elderly per 17 000 elderly persons aged 65 or above one Multi - service Centre for the Elderly per 17 000 elderly persons and one Social Centre for the Elderly per 2 000 elderly persons aged 65 or above
經2008年修訂並沿用至今的《規劃標準》，在各區提供的長者地區中心和長者鄰舍中心數目，以及長者日間護理中心/單位的服務名額，不應只取決於長者人口，而應同時考慮人口特徵、地理環境、實際的服務供求情況等因素。
According to the existing planning standards and guidelines in HKPSG in force since 2008 the number of District Elderly Community Centres DECCsand Neighbourhood Elderly Centres NECsas well as the number of places for Day Care CentresUnits for the Elderly in a district should not only be determined with reference to the size of the elderly population but also factors such as the demographic characteristics geographical environment and actual demand and supply of the services etc
至 於資助院舍的宿位數目，更應顧及需求、資源及是否有合適處所可供使用等。
As regards the number of subsidized residential care places the demand resources and the availability of suitable premises should also be considered
《安老服務計劃方案》提出，由於發展公營安老服務設施需要一定的時間，因此建議重新把以人口為基礎的安老服務設施規劃比率加入《規劃標準》內，令相關部門在預留處所和場所時更具前瞻性。
As set out in the Elderly Services Programme Plan ESPP the development of public elderly facilities takes considerable time . ESPP therefore recommended the reinstatement of population - based planning ratios in HKPSG to allow better forward planning of the relevant departments in reserving sites and premises
