我們亦成功通過利用社區重點項目的部分資金，加上仁濟醫院的幫助，促成推出一輛"牙科醫療車"。
We also succeeded in launching a mobile dental clinic by using part of the funding for the signature project with the assistance of Yan Chai Hospital
當時，我們的爭取過程其實並不容易。
The course of our fight at that time was by no means easy
最終，在各同事同心協力下當然大家都有份成功爭取，人人都爭着說自己成功爭取我們促使了區議會提供牙科及眼科檢查服務。
Eventually thanks to the colleagues concerted efforts―of course all of us have played our part in successfully fighting for something . Everyone would fall over each other to claim credit for fighting for something―we brought about the provision of dental and ophthalmic check - up services by the DC
最近有報道指我們區議會的服務不達標，說會為多少人注射預防針，結果沒有；說要向多少人提供眼科服務，結果亦做不到。
Recently it has been reported that our services in DCs did not reach the targets in that we said we would provide vaccination for a certain number of people but in the end we did not; we said we would provide ophthalmic service for a certain number of people but in the end we failed to do it either
有評論怪責我們宣傳不足，但其實這正是基層醫療服務工作應由政府而不是區議會來做的原因，因為區議會是有局限的，如果我們使用撥款來做宣傳，最終可能會有報道指區議會是"大花筒"，花錢做宣傳工作，而不是用在市民身上。
Some critiques have blamed us for inadequate publicity but actually this is exactly the reason why primary health care work should be carried out by the Government rather than DCs . It is because DCs are subject to limitations . If we use the funding for publicity eventually there may be news reports accusing DCs of being spendthrifts lavishing money on publicity rather than spending it on members of the public
區議員已經盡量宣傳，呼籲市民登記，但如果每天都作出呼籲，又會有人說區議員利用政府資源作個人宣傳。
DC members have already tried to do as much publicity as possible calling on the public to make registrations . But if they do it every day they will be accused of exploiting government resources for personal publicity
所以，區議會做這些工作是有局限的。
Hence DCs are subject to limitations in doing such work
如果有機會，我希望局長盡快將地區康健中心的構思告訴我們，究竟當局打算怎樣做，以及當中會提供甚麼服務呢？
I hope the Secretary will tell us about the proposition of the district health centre as soon as possible granting the opportunity . What do the authorities actually intend to do and what services will be provided?
其實葵青區已經有一兩間類似的中心，但當然服務沒有這麼全面。
In fact there are already a couple of similar centres in Kwai Tsing District but certainly their services are not as comprehensive
究竟這些服務會如何整合、由誰提供、與工聯會一直建議的社區健康中心有何分別呢？
How will these services be consolidated? . Who will provide them? . How are they different from the health care centre all along proposed by FTU?
我希望政府能夠盡快把這些資料告訴我們。
I hope the Government can tell us such information as soon as possible
在施政報告發表前，工聯會已經向政府提出"地盡其用，多元住屋"的倡議，同時提出一系列房屋建議。
Before the Policy Address was presented FTU had already advocated full utilization of land and diversified housing to the Government with a series of housing proposals
對於特首今次在施政報告中提出一系列政策以鋪設置業階梯，我認為特首有心解決香港的房屋問題，因為我們的住屋問題已經持續多年。
In light of the Chief Executives proposal on a series of policies for laying the housing ladder in the Policy Address I think the Chief Executive has the heart to resolve the housing problem in Hong Kong since our housing problem has already persisted for years
不過，我發現在房屋政策方面，我們這位一向"好打得"的特首似乎說得不夠清楚，好像意有所指，卻欲言又止，明明會有很大的改變，卻又似有疑慮，不肯說清楚。
However I found that on the housing policy it seems our Chief Executive who is always a good fighter did not speak clear enough . It seems there was something she wished to say but then she hesitated . There would obviously be a great change yet she seemed to hold some doubts and refused to make it clear
特首在施政報告第147段表示，未來的新建公營房屋應以更多"綠置居"取代出租公屋，但沒提及有關詳情。
The Chief Executive stated in paragraph 147 of the Policy Address that the future public housing developments should include more Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme GSH units instead of public rental housing PRH units but she fell short of mentioning the details
但是，房委會表示還未有怎樣研究。
HKHA however stated that it has not conducted any particular study yet
如果政府有這樣一個大方向，有決心讓市民安居，解決他們的住屋問題，便應該說得清清楚楚，不要讓市民胡亂猜想。
If the Government has such a general direction determined to enable the people to live in peace and resolve their housing problems it should make everything clear to avoid the people making wild guesses
若政府想幫助市民置業，如何覓地、如何多建房屋、公營房屋出售的比例、售價、轉售限制等，全部均是市民十分關注的問題，我希望政府能夠盡快公布，讓市民能夠及早打算。
If the Government wishes to help the people buy their homes I hope it will expeditiously disclose how it will identify sites and construct more housing units the ratio of public housing for sale the selling price restrictions on resale etc . which are all great concerns to the public including the grass roots so that they can make early plans
如果政府認為過早公布這些消息會影響樓市，便更應趁現時樓市只升不跌，盡快多公布這些消息，讓市民清楚知道政府日後為我們的房屋政策訂定了甚麼新方向。
If the Government holds that premature disclosure of such information will affect the property market it had better just when the property market keeps rising now disclose more such information expeditiously to let the public know clearly what new direction the Government has set for the housing policy in future
對於這份施政報告的房屋措施，我有兩個心，一個是開心，因為政府願意以多元的方式在房屋上求變，指出房屋的社會功能，亦願意鋪設房屋階梯和興建過渡性房屋等，這些均是值得支持的。
Regarding the housing measures in this Policy Address I have two feelings . One is happiness because the Government is willing to make changes in housing in diversified ways . It pinpoints the social functions of housing and agrees to lay the housing ladder construct transitional housing etc
但是，同時，我也感到擔心，因為特首以置業為本，希望人人擁有物業，甚至抱持房屋可以令市民向上游的心態，這會否影響沒有能力置業的市民的房屋需要？
These are worth our support . At the same time however I feel worried because the Chief Executive focuses on home ownership hoping that everyone can own a property and she even holds the mindset that housing can facilitate the peoples upward mobility . Will this affect the housing needs of those who cannot afford a home?
究竟政府幫助市民"上車"，是否等於能夠幫助市民安居置富呢？
When the Government helps the people buy their first homes does it really mean it can help them live in peace and accummulate wealth?
如果特首認為房屋並非簡單的商品，那麼，應如何在市民的必需品與商品之間取得平衡？
If the Chief Executive considers that housing is not simply a commodity then how should a balance be struck between the peoples necessities and commodities?
這些均須行政長官處理和公布。
This has got to be addressed and disclosed by the Chief Executive
關於以置業為本對租住房屋的影響，雖然工聯會主張"地盡其用，多元住屋"，但我們在房屋政策上有一項更重要的主張，便是公屋為主，居屋為輔，私人市場作補充。
Regarding the impact of focusing on home ownership on rental housing despite FTUs advocacy of full utilization of land and diversified housing we have another more important advocacy on the housing policy which is using PRH as the mainstay complemented by the Home Ownership Scheme HOS and supplemented by the private market
今天可能是居屋為輔，"輔"是輔助的"輔"，其實居屋可能包括"綠置居"，因為我們認為，出租公屋是基層市民在住屋上的唯一依靠，而且若沒有公屋，他們的住屋就只能淪為"劏房"、板間房，甚至"籠屋"等，這些均不是合適的居住環境。
Now HOS may play a complementary role rendering assistance in the matter . In fact HOS may include GSH since we regard PRH as the only type of housing on which the grass roots can rely . Moreover without public housing their dwelling places will only turn out to be subdivided units cubicle apartments or even caged homes the environment of which is not habitable
根據政府的統計，全港有29%的人居於出租公屋，16%居於資助出售房屋，人口達290萬，可見公營房屋在本港住屋問題上的重要 性。
According to the Governments statistics 29 % of Hong Kongs population live in PRH and 16 % in subsidized sale flats totalling 2.9 million people thus showing the importance of public housing to addressing the housing problem in Hong Kong
事實上，由1960年代、1970年代的廉租屋開始，公屋居民均須經過經濟審查，評定為入息有限的家庭。
As a matter of fact starting from the low - cost housing estates in 1960s and 1970s PRH residents must undergo a means test for assessment as households with limited income
他們在目前的樓價下既無法置業，亦無法承擔昂貴的租金，只能夠由政府協助他們解決住屋需要。
Given the current property prices they can neither buy any property nor afford the expensive rents . The Government is the only one who can help them meet their housing needs
現時輪候公屋的家庭有27萬，平均輪候時間是4.7年，有6萬個家庭更已輪候超過3年。
At present there are 270 000 families waiting for PRH allocation . The average waiting time is 4.7 years and 60 000 families have even waited for more than three years
要疏導這些輪候者，我們更應加大出租公屋的供應。
To ease this queue we should all the more increase the supply of PRH
早前房委會資助房屋小組委員會主席黃遠輝表示，要縮減輪候時間，預計需要有4萬個單位應市。
Mr Stanley WONG Chairman of the Subsidised Housing Committee of HKHA has indicated earlier that to shorten the waiting time it is estimated that 40 000 units would need to be launched onto the market
根據政府的最新數字，由2017-2018年度至2021-2022年度的5年內，公營房屋的總建屋量約為100,300個，當中包括75,000多個公屋單位和25,000多個資助出售單位。
According to the Governments latest figures in the five years from 2017 - 2018 to 2012 - 2022 the total public housing production will be about 100 300 units including 75 000 - odd PRH units and 25 000 - odd subsidized sale flats
我們可以看到，現時公營房屋的租售比例約為3：1，即3個出租單位對1個資助出售單位。
As we can see the present ratio of rental units to those for sale in public housing is about 3col1 that means three rental units to one subsidized sale flat
事實上，5年提供10萬個公營房屋單位這數字，其實已較《長遠房屋策略》的目標水平低了兩成。
In fact the provision of 100 000 public housing units in five years is 20 % lower than the target level of the Long Term Housing Strategy
如果要調整有關比例而不影響出租公屋的供應，唯一方法是增加供應，即提供更多土地興建出售公屋，但政府又好像沒有甚麼意願大量增加公、私營房屋的比例。
To adjust the relevant ratio without affecting the supply of PRH the only way is to increase supply ie . to provide more land for the construction of public housing for sale but the Government seems to have no intention to substantially increase the ratio of public to private housing
我們坊間一直要求把公、私營房屋的比例增加至7：3，即每7個公營房屋單位，便有3個私營房屋單位，但政府並無回應。
The community has all along requested an increase in the ratio of public to private housing to 7col3 that means for every seven public housing units there will be three private ones . Yet the Government has made no response at all
因此，社會大眾難免會擔心"綠置居"的置業措施會否蠶食出租公屋的供應，亦因此有那些有關公屋單位達80萬個便會封頂的推測。
Hence it is inevitable that the public are worried whether the housing measure of GSH will nibble away the supply of PRH and thus there are also such conjectures about the number of PRH units being capped at 800 000
雖然行政長官已表示不好意思，把大家嚇着了，但政府仍要說清楚這一項政策，究竟在"綠置居"取代出租公屋的政策下，比例為何，以及會如何實行？
Although the Chief Executive has apologized for causing anxiety in society the Government has yet to make this policy clear . Under the policy of replacing PRH with GSH what is the ratio and how will it be implemented?
亦應表明不會阻礙數十萬在輪候冊上等候"上樓"的市民。
It should also state explicitly that it will not hinder the hundreds of thousands of applicants waitlisted for PRH allocation
如果我們要以置業為本，便一定要有新增的土地。
If we focus on home ownership there must be new land sites
關於"港人首置上車盤"，政府已經打了私人發展商的主意，表示可以混合發展，但我們工聯會認為應該有短、中、長期方式去增加土地供應。
In respect of Starter Homes the Government has already thought of engaging private developers and indicated that there can be mixed development . But we in FTU consider that there should be short - medium - and long - term approaches to increase land supply
就短期而言，我們建議利用私人會所，例如搬遷粉嶺高爾夫球場以騰空土地，一個球場便可以騰空170公頃的土地，而這樣做亦不代表球場需要關閉，其實球場可以遷往復修的堆填區，例如在將軍澳堆填區重置。
In the short term we propose using private clubs such as relocating the Fanling Golf Course to vacate the land . A single golf course can vacate 170 hectares of land and such an act does not mean the golf course needs to be closed down . In fact the golf course can move to a restored landfill
粗略估計，有關土地可以提供數萬個住宅單位，容納10萬以上人口居住。
For example it can be reprovisioned at the Tseung Kwan O landfill . It is roughly estimated that the relevant site can provide tens of thousands of residential units to accommodate more than 100 000 people
此外，我們已提出多年，希望政府可以考慮利用市區重建局收回的土地。
Besides as we have suggested for years we hope the Government will consider using the sites resumed by the Urban Renewal Authority URA
這些土地雖然細小，但是勝在位處市區，是可以立即興建樓宇的"熟地"。
Although these sites are small they have merits in that they are situated in the urban area and disposed sites readily available for housing construction
於過去5年，市建局接收了19個項目，合共有45,000平方米的土地。
In the past five years URA has taken over 19 projects totalling 45 000 sq m of land
如果我們可以利用這些土地來興建公營房屋，供應便可以立即提升，同時亦可以釋放市區土地的潛力，例如市建局的土地可以用作起動舊公共屋邨的重建計劃，騰出更多空間。
If we use these sites for the construction of public housing the supply can be increased immediately and at the same time the potential of urban land can also be released . For example the land sites of URA can be used to activate the redevelopment plans of old public housing estates to vacate more space
市建局現時的招標方式一直為人詬病，因為它收購土地後，採用公開招標的方式讓私人發展商投地。
The existing tendering approach of URA has all along been a subject of criticism because after acquiring a site it will adopt the open tender approach to invite private developers to bid for the site
市建局收回土地後，可否與房委會或香港房屋協會合作，發展公營房屋？
After the acquisition of sites can URA cooperate with HKHA or the Hong Kong Housing Society to develop public housing?
行政長官希望興建更多"綠置居"的同時，是否可以令市區仍然有公營房屋供應，讓基層市民無需在重建時便要搬離市區，遷往其他地方？
While the Chief Executive wishes to build more GSH units can there still be public housing supply in the urban area so that the grass roots need not move away from the urban area to some other places during redevelopment?
在中、長遠的供應方面，我們知道土地供應專責小組前天曾討論近岸填海。
Regarding supply in the medium and long terms we know that the Task Force on Land Supply discussed near - shore reclamation the day before yesterday
因此，我認為應該進行填海以配合發展，但這並不代表政府無需疏理反對聲音，我認為政府應該在研究填海時便開展保育工作，以免填海被評為先破壞、後補償。
For this reason I consider that reclamation should be carried out to tie in with the development but it does not mean the Government needs not address the opposition voices . In my view while the Government conducts a study on reclamation it should commence conservation work to pre - empt the criticism that reclamation is destruction before compensation
對於施政報告提出的許多房屋政策，其實我有數項疑問。
Concerning the various housing policies proposed in the Policy Address actually I have a few queries
首先，如果以置業為本，市民的承擔能力為何？
First of all if the focus is placed on home ownership what is the peoples affordability?
政府表示要以"綠置居"取代出租公屋，這樣市民便可以置業安居。
The Government has indicated its wish to replace PRH with GSH thereby enabling members of the public to buy their own homes
正如行政長官自己也提到，現在公屋居民有76萬戶，其中19%，即差不多兩成是長者戶；綜援戶則有16%，合計已經是35%，有多少人會願意或有能力購買"綠置居"呢？
As mentioned by the Chief Executive herself at present there are 760 000 PRH households . Among them 19 % that means almost one fifth are elderly households whereas 16 % are households on Comprehensive Social Security Assistance . They already add up to 35 %
現在政府表示，情況不是這樣的，公屋住戶中有許多有能力的人。
Now the Government says that is not the case . There are many capable people among the PRH households
雖然局長不願意承認那數萬個刪除戶籍的個案與富戶政策有關，但事實上，他們是有許多方法的，我們現在甚至看到有居於屋邨的夫婦離婚，因為要保住家中用來謀生的的士，於是離婚來規避富戶政策。
The Secretary is reluctant to admit that the tens of thousands of cases of deletion of household members from tenancy are related to the Well - off Tenants Policies but they have a lot of methods actually . Now we have even seen a case in which a couple living in a housing estate divorced in order to keep a taxi which is their means of living . They divorced to circumvent the Well - off Tenants Policies
因此富戶政策是否能夠令人放棄公屋，轉而購買"綠置居"呢？
Hence can the Well - off Tenants Policies make the people give up their PRH units and buy GSH units instead?
而"綠置居"又會否全部大單位均有人購買，剩餘小單位或近垃圾房或低層的單位卻沒有人問津？
Will it turn out that all the large GSH units are sold but no one is interested in the remaining small units or those near refuse rooms or on the lower floors?
我覺得政府應該要回應這問題。
I think the Government should respond to this question
我覺得還有數個問題需要思考。
In my opinion there are several other questions that warrant consideration
行政長官表示以置業為主導，讓市民"上車"便等於幫助了他們。
As stated by the Chief Executive focusing on home ownership to enable members of the public to buy their first homes means helping them
我們其實應該幫助市民解決居住問題，還是幫助他們置業從而向上流呢？
Should we actually help members of the public resolve their housing problems or should we help them buy their homes to facilitate upward movement?
既然政府表示要舉行大辯論，討論土地供應，其實不妨也舉行一個大辯論討論房屋政策，是否以置業為主導，便等於真正解決市民的住屋需要？
Since the Government says it will hold a large - scale debate on land supply we may as well hold another one on the housing policy . Does focusing on home ownership mean genuinely addressing the peoples housing needs?
所以，政府需要思考市民真正的房屋需要為何，繼而為我們想出能解決大多數市民的問題的 房屋政策。
Hence the Government needs to think about the peoples genuine housing needs and then work out a housing policy which can resolve the problems of the majority public
我認為置業只是房屋問題的一部分，更大的部分是基層市民的住屋需要，我們如何令他們可以及早"上樓"呢？
In my view home ownership is only part of the housing problem . A bigger part is the housing need of the grass roots . How can we help them attain early PRH allocation?
主席，非常感謝眾多議員就房屋政策表達的意見，特別是對公共房屋及綠表置居計劃的關注。
President we are extremely grateful to the many Members who have expressed their views on the housing policy especially their concern about public housing and the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme GHS
首先，我必須重申，特區政府為基層低收入家庭提供出租公屋的承擔及決心堅定不移，政府亦沒有為出租公屋單位的數目設任何限制。
First of all I must reiterate that the Special Administrative Region Government remains strongly committed and determined in providing public rental housing PRH for grass - roots and low - income families and has not set any restriction on the number of PRH units
在這前提下，安居和置業兩者可以並行不悖，互不抵觸，讓市民按期望及自身的負擔能力自行選擇。
On this premise living happily and owing a home can run in parallel without being in conflict with each other serving as two options between which people can choose based on their own expectations and affordability
只要政策施行能夠按市民實質需求靈活調度，相信可以回應社會及議員的關注。
As long as the implementation of policies remains flexible in response to actual public demand we should be able to address the concerns of the community as well as those of Members
面對房屋供不應求，最根本的方法是增加供應，而目前最關鍵的瓶頸是土地。
In face of the demand - supply imbalance in housing the most fundamental solution is to increase supply . Currently the most crucial bottleneck is land
就此，政府已於今年9月成立土地供應專責小組，全面宏觀地檢視土地供應的來源，檢討及優化短、中及長期土地發展措施，並評估其他土地供應選項及相對優次。
To this end the Government has established the Task Force on Land Supply in September this year to examine different land supply options in a thorough and macro manner; review and improve various land development measures in the short medium and long term; and evaluate other land supply options and their priorities
香港房屋委員會亦與政府部門緊密聯絡，研究如何善用已物色的土地，以達至公營房屋供應目標。
The Hong Kong Housing Authority HA will continue to maintain close liaison with the relevant government departments and examine ways to better utilize the sites identified so as to achieve the supply target of PRH
施政報告表明，公屋是為基層及低收入家庭確立已久的安全網，並清楚說明政府會繼續致力縮短公屋輪候時間。
The Policy Address indicates that PRH is a long - established safety net for the grass roots and low - income families and that the Government will strive to shorten the waiting time for PRH
為縮短平均輪候時 間，除了增加公屋供應外，我們亦需要設法令公屋資源得到合理運用。
In order to shorten the average waiting time apart from increasing PRH supply it is also necessary for us to endeavour to ensure the rational use of precious PRH resources
房委會已經檢討多項相關政策及措施，並在今年10月實施已修訂的"富戶政策"。
HA already reviewed the various relevant policies and measures and implemented the revised Well - off Tenants Policies in October this year
我理解這些工作難免會對受影響的住戶造成不便，但希望公眾及議員諒解，這些措施是要確保公屋資源用得其所，以盡早編配公屋予更有需要的輪候家庭。
While I appreciate the inconvenience inevitably caused to the affected households due to these work initiatives I hope Members and the public can understand that these measures are put in place to ensure the proper use of public housing resources and the expeditious allocation of PRH units to family applicants more in need
剛才有議員提及退休金算入資產限額，其實並不正確。
A Member mentioned just now that retirement benefits are included in the asset limits calculation which is not true
事實上，退休金以至意外的賠償金額都不會計入資產，而老齡家庭亦不受限制。
As a matter of fact retirement benefits and compensation payments for accidents are all excluded from the calculation . Elderly households are exempted from the restriction as well
房委會正檢討"綠置居"先導計劃的成效，在過程中會小心考慮社會各界的意見。
HA is conducting a review of the effectiveness of the GHS Pilot Scheme and will carefully consider the views from various sectors of the community in the process
房委會在考慮"綠置居"恆常化的同時，亦會研究"綠置居"項目的具體細節，包括定價機制、申請資格及銷售安排。
In considering the regularization of GHS HA will also study the specific details of GHS projects such as the pricing mechanism application criteria and sales arrangement
長遠而言，房委會亦會檢視公屋項目，以決定哪些公屋項目可以轉為"綠置居"。
In the long run HA will further evaluate whether or not PRH projects should be converted to GSH on a project - by - project basis
以先導項目景泰苑為例，項目857個買家之中，有801個為房委會的公屋住戶。
Take the pilot project of King Tai Court as an example out of the 857 buyers 801 are PRH tenants of HA
他們騰出作重新分配的公屋單位分布港九新界17個區、168個屋邨，涵蓋不同樓齡和面積的單位，其中接近八成是屬於20至40平方米的單位。這些單位要經過編配程序和翻新工程，才可以分配給公屋輪候人士。
The PRH units vacated for reallocation are located throughout the territory spanning 17 districts and 168 estates and cover different ages and sizes with nearly 80 % of them measured between 20 sq m and 40 sq m These units will first undergo the allocation procedure and renovation works before being allocated to PRH applicants
我們會研究可否加快相關流程，縮短所需的時間。
We will study the possibility of expediting the relevant process so as to shorten the time required
根據數據顯示，公屋居民以小的公屋換取大的"綠置居"的擔憂並無必要。
According to data there is no cause for worry about PRH tenants using their small PRH units in exchange for a big GHS unit
此外，有意見認為"綠置居"只會令輪候公屋人士入住二手公屋，但所有回收的公屋單位都會經過翻新，然後才編配給新的租戶。
Besides as regards views that applicants on the PRH Waiting List would end up living in second - hand PRH units as a result of GHS it should be noted that all recovered PRH units will be renovated before allocation to new tenants
景泰苑的數字顯示，801個收回的公屋單位遍布全港，為輪候公屋市民提供更多的選擇。
The 801 recovered PRH units as shown by the figures of King Tai Court are located throughout the territory offering more choices for applicants on the PRH Waiting List
剛才亦都有議員提及，在收回的公屋之中，其中7%是位於香港島，51%位於九龍，所以位於市區的公屋收回單位是接近60%。
Also as mentioned by Members just now 7 % of the recovered PRH units are located in Hong Kong Island and 51 % of those are in Kowloon meaning that recovered PRH units in the urban areas made up nearly 60 % of the total
至於有議員提到重推租置計劃，經過多年的實際經驗，清楚反映有關安排的確有其弊端，相信議員亦非常清楚。
As for a relaunch of the Tenants Purchase Scheme TPS as suggested by some Members years of practical experience clearly reflects that the arrangement is indeed flawed which Members I believe should know very well
在樓價持續上升的情況下，為了讓較高收入的家庭能重燃置業希望，施政報告建議推出"港人首置上車盤"計劃，協助收入較高但仍難以在私人市場置業的香港居民自置居所，並進一步豐富房屋階梯。
In a bid to re - ignite the hopes of families with higher income to own a home in the face of hiking private property prices the Policy Address proposed to introduce Starter Homes to help Hong Kong residents with higher income but still finding it hard to buy a home in the private market to become home owners and further enrich the housing ladder
社會對於首置計劃細節有很多意見和建議，亦有一些人士對公私營合作抱有疑慮。
There are many views and suggestions in the community in respect of the details of the Starter Homes scheme and some have misgivings about the public - private partnership
我重申，政府以高透明度處理首置計劃的安排，以釋除公眾疑慮。
I wish to reiterate that the Government will handle the arrangement of the Starter Homes scheme in a highly transparent manner so as to assuage public concerns
我們會繼續細心聆聽社會各界的意見，並預計在敲定細節後，可以於明年年中公布計劃的詳情。
We will continue to listen carefully to views from different sectors of the community and announce the details of the scheme once they are finalized hopefully in the middle of next year
剛才亦有議員提及民間倡議的過渡性房屋安排。
Some Members just now mentioned transitional housing arrangements in the form of community initiatives
施政報告指出，政府會協助和促成各項由民間主導和推行的短期措施。
As indicated in the Policy Address the Government will facilitate the implementation of various short - term community initiatives
這些措施可以引入政府以外的力量和社會資源，補足政府服務未能涵蓋的範疇，為受眾提供靈活、多樣的短期紓緩措施。
By introducing forces and social resources outside the Government these measures can attend to areas not covered by government services providing beneficiaries with short - term relief measures that are flexible and diversified
視乎倡議的具體內容，政府會按需要給予適切的支持和配合。
Depending on the specific details of the initiatives the Government will provide appropriate support and cooperation as needed
至於施政報告中其他的措施，我早前在房屋事務委員會已經作詳細的交代，由於時間所限，因此我不再重複。
As for other measures proposed in the Policy Address I already gave a detailed account of them to the Panel on Housing earlier and will not repeat them here given the time constraint
