就是說這些人士其實與現在的大律師，又或屬於大律師的律政人員一樣，同樣需要由終審法院首席法官在諮詢香港大律師公會的執行委員會主席及香港律師會會長後，並要符合相同的資格規定，才可被認許成為資深大律師。
It means that these persons in the same manner as existing barristers or legal officers who are barristers will be admitted as SC only after the Chief Justice has consulted the chairman of the Council of the Hong Kong Bar Association and the president of The Law Society of Hong Kong and after satisfying the same eligibility requirements
所以，可以說，在能力和質素方面，肯定是有一致的標準，質素是有保證的。
Therefore it can be said that in terms of competence and quality there are certainly consistent standards . The quality is assured
在這方面，我認為我們不需要擔心在今次的條例修訂後，會令人擔心非大律師律政人員在能力上會否有所不同。
In this regard I do not think we need to worry that after this legislative amendment exercise there will be concerns about the possible differences in the competence of legal officers
當然我相信今次政府當局在考慮時，正如他們在法案委員會的答覆，我想，第一，他們不希望有關人士離職後在外面轉為私人執業時會有所混淆，因為有關人士始終是事務律師背景，與其他的私人事務律師背景一樣，但他離職後在外執業仍是資深大律師的身份，會否令大家擔心或有混淆，或令私人執業的大律師有更多質疑的意見。
Of course I believe that as stated in the reply given to the Bills Committee in the course of consideration the Administration firstly does not want to create confusion after the person concerned have left and switched to private practice because such a person is after all of a solicitor background which is the same as other solicitors in private practice . Yet after departure he or she retains the SC status when engaging in private practice outside DoJ so will this cause any concern or confusion or will this arouse more sceptical views from barristers in private practice?
這點我是明白的，即我明白今次這一項修訂的用意。
I understand this notion meaning I understand the intention of this amendment
當然，他們留在律政司便可以使用這身份，而從未想離職到外謀生，一直想着成為律政人員是為了秉持公義的心。
Of course if they stay in DoJ they can enjoy the status . They have never wanted to leave the Government to make a living outside DoJ and righteousness has always been their cause of becoming legal officers
如果他們的心態是這樣，這便是挽留人才，很肯定，因為他們的能力受到認同。
If that is their mindset then it is a way of retaining talent for sure because their competence is recognized
但對於另一些人，如果他們是想在律政司工作一段時間後便往外闖，而如能帶着資深大律師的資格往外闖，便會更容易。
But for others if they want to work in DoJ for a period of time and then move on to explore external opportunities it will be easier to do so with their SC qualifications
所以，其實很視乎那名律政人員本身的心態。
Therefore it really depends a lot on the mindset of each individual legal officer
所以，《條例草案》所說，這並非政策的目標，我是明白的。
Hence I understand that as stated in the Bill this is not the policy objective
正如我剛才所說，如果他們是想工作到某天，因種種原因而想離開律政司到外私人執業，並同時想保留資深大律師的身份，其實他們當初在律政司擔任律政人員的期間，可能選擇現時原有的途徑，即是說完成短期的大律師實習，獲得大律師資格，成為資深大律師，這樣在外面便仍能保留身份。
As I have just said if they want to work until a certain date and then leave DoJ for various reasons to go into private practice and at the same time also wish to retain their SC status in fact they may pursue the existing avenue when they first work as legal officers in DoJ ie . completing the short - term pupillage being called to the Bar and then becoming SC . In this way they can still retain their status outside DoJ
所以，就此，我認為大家不需要替律政人員擔心。
For this reason as regards this aspect I do not think we need to worry about legal officers
我想每個人也有其不同的志向，會選擇適合自己的方法。
I think everyone has different aspirations and will choose a path that suits them
今次修例可以解決制度中一直以來一個不公平的地方。
The legislative amendment can address the long - standing unfairness in the regime
主席，我發言支持通過二讀《2018年廢物處置條例草案》。
President I speak in support of the passage of the Second Reading of the Waste Disposal Amendment Bill 2018 the Bill
香港是國際城市，我們有非常好的基建，有世界上其中一個最好的機場、管理得最好的鐵路，但我們過往的廢物處理方法經常引來批評，甚至因為減廢成效不彰，引致垃圾圍城，被人批評為"垃圾級的垃圾政策"。
Hong Kong is an international city . We have excellent infrastructure with one of the best airports in the world and the best managed railway . However our waste disposal approach in the past has often attracted criticism
根據政府在2013年推出的《香港資源循環藍圖2013-2022》，預計在2022年，人均垃圾棄置量將減至每天0.8公斤。
It has even been criticized as a junk - grade rubbish policy because of its ineffectiveness in waste reduction resulting in the city abounding with rubbish . According to the Hong Kong Blueprint for Sustainable Use of Resources 2013 - 2022 published by the Government in 2013 it is estimated that in 2022 the daily per capita waste disposal will be reduced to 0.8 kg
雖然政府做了大量宣傳，市民的環保意識亦大為提高，但事與願違，香港近10年的人均垃圾棄置量不跌反升，在2018年更達到每人每日1.53公斤。
Although the Government has carried out extensive publicity and the public awareness of environmental protection has substantially risen things have run counter to our wish . Hong Kongs per capita waste disposal has increased rather than decreased in the past decade even reaching 1.53 kg per day in 2018
很明顯，單靠宣傳和鼓勵，並不能達到減少垃圾的效果。
Obviously we cannot rely on publicity and encouragement alone to achieve the effect of waste reduction
政府必須透過立法的方式，以強制徵費和罰則，多管齊下，才能達到減廢的目標。
The Government must adopt a multi - pronged approach with the imposition of mandatory charges and penalties through legislation to achieve the waste reduction target
而環顧其他地區的經驗，例如南韓的首爾，在推行垃圾徵費後，垃圾回收率在15年內由29%上升至66%；台北市實施垃圾徵費後，回收率由3%上升至60%。
Let us look at the experience of other regions . For example in Seoul South Korea the waste recovery rate has risen from 29 % to 66 % in 15 years after the launch of waste charging . In Taipei the recovery rate has risen from 3 % to 60 % after the implementation of waste charging
垃圾徵費對減少家居垃圾、鼓勵回收，成效非常顯著。
The effect of waste charging in reducing domestic waste and encouraging recycling is rather obvious
在垃圾徵費的問題上，特區政府是有先見之明，但可惜總是議而不決，決而不行。
On the issue of waste charging the SAR Government does have foresight but regrettably it always holds discussions without making decisions and makes decisions without taking action
事實上，日本、南韓、台灣都先後實行了固體廢物徵費，並且卓有成效，大幅減低了人均廢物棄置量，但香港十多年來就落實廢物徵費，仍然停留在討論階段。
As a matter of fact Japan South Korea and Taiwan have implemented solid waste charging with great success one after another substantially reducing the per capita waste disposal but the implementation of waste charging in Hong Kong has remained at the discussion stage for more than a decade
早在2005年，政府已提出垃圾徵費的概念，2007年進行了3個月的試驗計劃。
As early as in 2005 the Government already put forward the concept of waste charging . In 2007 a three - month pilot scheme was conducted
在2012年，當時的環境局局長邱騰華推出公眾諮詢，到2013年黃錦星局長再進行第二階段諮詢，及至2018年11月行政會議通過將垃圾徵費的相關法案提交立法會跟進。
In 2012 the then Secretary for the Environment Edward YAU launched public consultation and in 2013 Secretary WONG Kam - sing conducted the second phase of consultation . Then in November 2018 the Executive Council approved the introduction of the Bill on waste charging into the Legislative Council for follow - up
我自己十分認同垃圾徵費的原則。
I myself strongly agree with the principle of waste charging
香港是一個基建完善的城市，大部分市民居於有管理公司管理的多層大廈內，相信只要做好回收的 配套，照顧一些管理欠佳的地方和貧窮人士的需要，我認為垃圾徵費是切實可行的，並且可以帶動整個綠色產業的發展。
Hong Kong is a city with comprehensive infrastructure and most people live in multi - storey buildings managed by management companies . I believe that as long as proper ancillary facilities are provided for recycling and the needs of poorly managed places and the poor are addressed waste charging is practicable and can stimulate the development of the entire green industry
我在得到同事的支持下，在2018年曾擔任法案委員會的主席。
With the support of Honourable colleagues I served as the Chairman of the Bills Committee in 2018
法案委員會進行了16次會議，聽取了不同團體的意見，並收集了135份意見書。
The Bills Committee held 16 meetings received the views of different deputations and collected 135 submissions
在《條例草案》進入逐條審議的階段時，當時有不少委員對《條例草案》有不同的憂慮，擔心《條例草案》通過後，可能會影響到自己所代表的選民利益，對通過法例有所保留。
When the Bill entered the clause - by - clause examination stage many members had different concerns about the Bill . Worried that the Bill if enacted might affect the interests of the electors they represented they had reservations about the passage of the legislation
政府當時作出的回應又未能滿足部分委員的要求，令審議進度非常緩慢，趕不上會期的底線，最後只能終止審議。
At that time the Governments response failed to satisfy the requests of some members . Consequently the progress of scrutiny was so slow that it could not meet the deadline of the session . Eventually the scrutiny could not but be terminated
有人批評議會不敢擇善固執，被民粹主義牽着走，作為主席，對這個結果確實感到無可奈可和失望，不無遺憾。
Some people criticized the Council for not daring to insist on the right choice and for being led by populism
考慮到個人的時間分配，我未能繼續擔任法案委員會主席，但繼續參與法案委員會的審議工作。
In view of my own time allocation I was unable to continue to chair the Bills Committee but I continued to participate in its scrutiny work
還好的是，隨着本屆立法會延任，政府亦調整了立場，就議員的關注提出多項修訂和改善措施，例如提供12至18個月的適應期，讓市民和持份者有時間習慣和適應新的安排。
It is opportune that following the extension of the current term of the Legislative Council the Government has adjusted its stance and proposed a number of amendments and improvement measures to address Members concerns such as providing a phasing - in period of 12 to 18 months to allow time for the public and stakeholders to get accustomed and adapt to the new arrangements
在適應期後，政府亦承諾屆時會與議員商討，配合香港經濟狀況，預留彈性，才落實真正的實施日期。
The Government has also pledged that after the phasing - in period it will discuss with Members how to dovetail with Hong Kongs economic situation and allow flexibility before finalizing the actual implementation date
另外，政府亦答應，若然食肆可完善廚餘分類，將獲豁免收費。
Moreover the Government has agreed to waive the charges if restaurants can separate food waste properly
這些新意見均有助爭取議員對《條例草案》的支持。
These new ideas are conducive to gaining Members support for the Bill
主席，垃圾徵費政策和立法一拖再拖，先後經歷了4屆政府。
President the policy and legislation on waste charging have been delayed time and again spanning four terms of the Government
香港人均都市固體廢物棄置量持續上升，垃圾徵費是政府整項減廢策略中極其重要的一環，透過增加市民回收和減少製造垃圾的誘因，做到源頭減廢。
As the per capita municipal waste disposal in Hong Kong keeps rising waste charging is an extremely important component of the Governments overall waste reduction strategy which aims to reduce waste at source by increasing the peoples incentives to engage in recycling and create less waste
政府應盡早配合教育宣傳，協助市民了解垃圾徵費的流程，在社區增加回收配套，令市民循序漸進，習慣將丟棄垃圾與金錢負擔掛鈎，繼而改變拋垃圾的習慣。
The Government should carry out complementary education and publicity as early as possible to help the public understand the workflow of waste charging and provide additional recycling facilities in the community so that the public will gradually get used to associating waste disposal with pecuniary costs and thus change their habit of discarding waste
不過，就算這次《條例草案》獲得通過，仍只是一個開始，政府仍然有大量工作要處理，配合法例的要求，完善垃圾徵費的基建配套。
However even if this Bill is passed it is just the beginning . The Government still has a lot of work to do to meet the requirements of the legislation and improve the infrastructural facilities for waste charging
以廚餘問題為例，香港每天產生3,500公噸的廚餘，回收率只得3.6%，雖然2023年會有新的廚餘中心建成，但都只能處理500公噸。
Take the issue of food waste as an example . In Hong Kong 3 500 tonnes of food waste are generated every day while the recovery rate is only 3.6 % . Although a new food waste treatment centre will be completed in 2023 its capacity is only 500 tonnes
直到2029年，新的有機廢物預處理中心落成後，處理廚餘的能力才可合共增至1,000公噸，仍然有2,500公噸的差距，有待改善和處理。
Then in 2029 when the new organic waste pre - treatment centre is commissioned the total capacity of food waste treatment will only be increased to 1 000 tonnes leaving a gap of 2 500 tonnes to be made up for and handled
主席，政府在應對都市固體廢物的工作上，擔當着政策領導、貫徹落實和執法者的角色，固然是責無旁貸，但同時，社會各持份者， 包括政黨、企業、社會團體以至個人，也應從社會整體利益出發，共同努力，只要每人願意走出一小步，便能為香港的環境保護工作走出一大步。
President in tackling municipal solid waste the Government plays the role of a policy leader implementer and law enforcer . It certainly cannot shirk its responsibility . Yet at the same time various stakeholders in society including political parties enterprises social organizations and individuals should also work together in the overall interest of society
隨着《條例草案》獲得通過，我亦很希望政府能夠多管齊下，在其他環保減廢的工作上，例如環保教育、回收及循環再用等方面，再加把勁、積極有為。
If everyone is willing to take one small step we can make a giant leap in environmental protection in Hong Kong . I also hope that following the passage of the Bill the Government will adopt a multi - pronged approach with greater and more active efforts on the other work of environmental protection and waste reduction such as environmental education recovery and recycling
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持通過《條例草案》二讀。
With these remarks President I support the passage of the Second Reading of the Bill
主席，香港每日都有大量固體廢物被棄置，據環保署數字指出，2019年棄置於本港堆填區的固體廢物總量為571萬公噸，每日平均超過15,600公噸，遠高於新加坡等主要城市。
President a large amount of solid waste is disposed of in Hong Kong every day . According to the statistics of the Environmental Protection Department a total of 5.71 million tonnes of solid waste were disposed of at landfills in Hong Kong in 2019 representing a daily average of over 15 600 tonnes . This figure is far higher than that of other major cities like Singapore
低碳減廢是國際大趨勢，香港在這方面明顯落後，我同意需要加快減廢步伐，亦認同廢物按量徵費能夠達致污者自負的原則，是減少固體廢物量的方法之一。
While low carbon and waste reduction have become a major global trend Hong Kong obviously lags behind in this respect . I agree that it is necessary to speed up the pace of waste reduction and that quantity - based waste charging which is in line with the polluter - pays principle is one of the ways to reduce solid waste
但是，就目前政府提出的方案，我擔心垃圾徵費可否順利執行。
However as regards the Governments current proposal I am concerned about whether waste charging can be implemented smoothly
在諮詢過程中，我和鄉議局多次向局方表達關注，特別是鄉郊的情況與市區存在明顯差異，一些在市區容易執行的措施，未必適用於鄉郊，單是監察方面已經出現漏洞。
During the consultation process Heung Yee Kuk and I have expressed our concerns to the Bureau many times especially about the marked difference between the situations in rural and urban areas . Some measures that can be easily implemented in urban areas may not be applicable to rural areas . There are already loopholes in monitoring alone
當局曾經表示，已在全港約440個"違規黑點"安裝攝影機監察非法棄置，但單是鄉郊地區已有超過2,600個不同類型的垃圾站，而且部分位於人流稀少的地方，時常出現非法棄置大型傢俬廢料等情況。
According to the authorities cameras have been installed at the 440 - odd blackspots in the territory to monitor illegal waste disposal . However there are more than 2 600 refuse collection points RCPs of different types in rural areas . In addition some of them are located in places with low pedestrian flow where the illegal disposal of large furniture and waste materials is quite common
故此，單靠監察少量垃圾站，在堵塞非法棄置問題上，似乎成效不彰。
Therefore it seems that the problem of illegal waste disposal cannot be effective solved only by monitoring a small number of RCPs
此外，部分鄉村位於熱門的郊遊路線，有村民擔心遊人遠足時胡亂棄置垃圾，會加重他們的垃圾收費。
Besides some villages are located along popular countryside trails . Some villagers are concerned that the indiscriminate disposal of waste by hikers will add to their waste charges
我相信這些操作會產生問題，政府必須提出一個全面的解決方案，才可以釋除公眾疑慮。
I believe these operational issues will give rise to problems . The Government must put forward a comprehensive solution so as to address public concerns
主席，一套完整的廢物管理政策需要多管齊下，單靠廢物徵費並不足夠，最重要的是提高資源回收率，才可以達致有效減廢。
President a comprehensive waste management policy cannot do without a multi - pronged approach . Waste charging alone is not enough and most importantly boosting the resource recovery rate is the key to achieving waste reduction
整體而言，我認為香港的回收網絡仍有很大的進步空間。
On the whole I think there is still much room for improvement in respect of the recycling network in Hong Kong
現時並非每個垃圾站附近都有分類回收設施，即使有回收桶，其容量亦太小，加上回收商收集次數不夠頻密，往往出現"迫爆"回收桶的情況，影響市民的回收意欲。
At present not every RCP has sorting and recycling facilities nearby . Even if recycling bins are available their capacity is too small . In addition the infrequent collection service provided by recyclers often results in overflowing recycling bins
再者，市民如果想回收廢紙、金屬、塑膠及玻璃以外的回收物，往往要自己送去"綠在區區"或者回收站，但這些設施的位置未必方便市民。
All these have discouraged the public from recycling . Furthermore if members of the public want to recycle recyclables other than paper metals plastic and glass they need to bring them to GREEN@COMMUNITY or recycling stations themselves but these facilities may not be easily accessible to the public
以西貢為例，只有一個位於將軍澳的回收點，但西貢幅員 廣大，人口分散，要鄉郊居民拿着回收物乘車前往回收站，難免不切實際。
In Sai Kung for example there is only one recycling outlet in Tseung Kwan O but Sai Kung is a large area with a scattered population . It is impractical for rural residents to take their recyclables to recycling stations by vehicles
事實上，不論是都市固體廢物、家居廢物及工商業廢物的回收率，自2015年已呈現下降趨勢，反映香港在回收工作上的不足。
In fact the recovery rates of municipal solid waste MSW domestic waste and commercial and industry waste have all shown a downward trend since 2015 indicating the inadequacies of Hong Kongs recycling efforts
故此，我認為徵收廢物收費，必須有完整的回收政策配合，雙軌並行，才可以有效減廢。
Therefore I think waste charging should be complemented by a comprehensive recycling policy and only under a two - pronged approach can effective waste reduction be achieved
另一方面，政府亦要考慮徵費對基層市民的負擔。
On the other hand the Government should also consider the burden of charging on the grass roots
對於相對富裕的人士，廢物收費的金額可謂微不足道，甚至無法改善他們大量棄置垃圾的習慣，但相反地，對捉襟見肘的基層家庭和綜援戶來說，他們未必負擔得起每個月數十元的收費，甚至因為居住空間狹小難以做好分類回收，廢物徵費無異於施加額外懲罰，對他們並不公平。
To relatively well - off individuals the amount of waste charges is insignificant and cannot even change their habit of disposing of a quantity of waste . On the contrary grass - roots families and Comprehensive Social Security Assistance households struggling to make ends meet may not be able to afford a monthly charge of several dozen dollars and even find it difficult to separate waste properly for recycling due to their small living space . As such waste charging is no different from imposing additional penalties which is unfair to them
主席，都市固體廢物收費已經討論多年，早在2012年完成公眾諮詢。
President MSW charging has been discussed for many years . The public consultation was completed in as early as 2012 and the Waste Disposal Amendment Bill 2018 was introduced to the Legislative Council by the Government in 2018
政府於2018年向立法會提交《2018年廢物處置條例草案》，至今歷時9年，除了因為過去在議會上受到反對派肆意阻攔政府施政而被拖累，某程度亦反映垃圾徵費具有爭議性，我期望當局不要抱着船到橋頭自然直的心態，而是能夠認真做好廢物管理的長遠政策。
It has already taken nine years . Apart from being delayed by the oppositions reckless obstruction of the policy implementation of the Government in this Council in the past it somewhat reflects that waste charging is a controversial issue . I hope the authorities will not assume that everything will work out in the end but can formulate a long - term waste management policy seriously and properly
政府近日收緊了防疫規定，由9月1日起，政府、醫院管理局、安老及殘疾人士院舍，以及幼稚園和中小學的所有僱員，如未接種2019冠狀病毒病疫苗，則須自費定期在工作時間以外進行病毒檢測；所有與抵港人士有機會接觸的人員均須強制接種疫苗；以及學童疫苗接種率達七成才可全面恢復面授課堂。
Recently the Government has tightened the anti - epidemic requirements . With effect from 1 September all employees of the Government the Hospital Authority HA residential care homes for the elderly and for persons with disabilities as well as kindergartens primary and secondary schools are required to take virus tests outside working hours at their own expenses regularly if they have not been administered the Coronavirus Disease 2019 vaccines ; all personnel who may come into contact with inbound travellers are subject to compulsory vaccination; and face - to - face classes may resume fully only if the vaccination rate among schoolchildren has reached 70 %
有市民批評，該等規定變相強迫相關人員接種疫苗、疫苗對防止感染變異病毒株的效用成疑，以及接種疫苗後如有不良反應亦難以獲得賠償。
Some members of the public have criticized that such requirements are de facto forcing the relevant personnel to get vaccinated that the vaccines efficacy in preventing the infection of mutant strains is doubtful and that it is difficult to obtain compensation in the event of post - vaccination adverse reactions
主席，就鄭松泰議員質詢的各部分，我現綜合回覆如下： 新冠病毒疫情肆虐全球，對香港的醫療系統以至市民的日常生活造成巨大影響。
President my consolidated reply to various parts of the question raised by Dr CHENG Chung - tai is as follows The COVID - 19 pandemic has ravaged the world and has a huge impact on the healthcare system as well as peoples daily lives in Hong Kong
在香港市民和醫護人員的共同努力下，本地個案已基本"清零"。
With concerted efforts from the public and healthcare workers Hong Kong has basically achieved the target of zero local cases
然而，全球疫情正在反彈，傳染性更高的Delta變異病毒株在急速傳播，我們絕不能掉以輕心。
However with resurgence of cases and rapid spread of the more contagious Delta mutant strain around the world we cannot afford to let down our guard
疫苗是抵抗疫情最強而有效的措施。
Vaccination is the strongest and most effective measure to curb the epidemic
香港提供的復必泰和克爾來福疫苗對於預防2019冠狀病毒病重症和死亡情況高度有效，能為接種人士提供有效保護，免於感染後併發重症甚至死亡。
The vaccines administered in Hong Kong namely Comirnaty and CoronaVac are highly effective in preventing severe cases and deaths arising from COVID - 19 . People who are vaccinated are effectively protected from serious complications and even deaths after infection
截至8月24日， 超過398萬名市民已接種了第一劑疫苗，即合資格接種人口的59.1%。
As at 24 August over 3.98 million people ie . 59.1 % of the local population eligible for COVID - 19 vaccination have received their first dose of vaccine
在變種病毒的威脅下，我們必須齊心協力進一步提高疫苗接種率。
Given the threat posed by the mutant strains it is essential that we work together to further improve the vaccination rate
政府早前宣布，所有公務員及政府員工、醫院管理局員工、安老及殘疾人士院舍員工，以及中學、小學、幼兒園、幼稚園和特殊學校的員工必須接種疫苗，否則由9月1日起，除了持有醫生證明書證明其健康狀況不允許接種疫苗，所有未接種第一劑疫苗的人員須自費定期進行聚合酶連鎖反應核酸檢測。
The Government announced earlier that all civil servants and government employees as well as all staff of the Hospital Authority HA residential care homes for the elderly RCHE residential care homes for persons with disabilities RCHD secondary schools primary schools nurseries kindergartens and special schools are required to be vaccinated . With effect from 1 September save for those who are unfit to receive COVID - 19 vaccination because of medical conditions supported by a medical certificate those who have not received their first dose of vaccine are required to undergo regular polymerase chain reaction - based nucleic acid tests at their own expense
此外，政府亦已要求機場管理局及指定檢疫酒店，加快安排轄下員工接種疫苗並安排已接種疫苗員工工作，同時加強已接種疫苗員工的檢測安排。
In addition the Government has also requested the Airport Authority and designated quarantine hotels to speed up vaccination arrangements for their staff arrange vaccinated staff to work and at the same time strengthen testing arrangements for vaccinated staff
上述安排是基於公共衞生考量，亦是以保障香港醫療系統及為社會築起抗疫屏障為目標。
The aforesaid arrangements were made on public health grounds with the aim of protecting our healthcare system and building an anti - epidemic barrier for our society
在有關安排下需要接種疫苗的人員，其工作性質需要經常面對公眾、身體較虛弱或容易受感染的人士，又或者有較高機會接觸已被感染的人士。
People who are required to be vaccinated under the relevant arrangements are those whose job involves frequent contact with the public and physically vulnerable or susceptible persons as well as those who have a higher chance of coming into contact with infected persons
為加快這群提供必要社會民生服務的前線人員接種疫苗的步伐，從而為他們提供更好保護，並防止病毒進入社區，我們認為有關的安排是必要的。
To expedite vaccination of these frontline personnel who are engaged in the provision of essential social and livelihood services thereby giving them better protection and preventing the spread of the virus in the community we consider it necessary to implement the said arrangements
事實上，上述組別人員的疫苗接種率在接種計劃開展以來一直穩步上揚。
In fact the vaccination rates of these groups of personnel have been on a steady rise since the launch of the vaccination programme
截止8月中，公務員、醫管局醫生和安老及殘疾人士院舍員工已接種至少一劑疫苗的比率分別超過88%、95%和70%，而截至7月中，學校教職員的整體接種率亦達到約47%。
As at mid - August the first dose vaccination rates among civil servants HA doctors and RCHERCHD staff were over 88 % 95 % and 70 % respectively
若再加上當時將會計劃接種疫苗的教職員，數字接近七成。
As at mid - July the vaccination rate of school staff reached around 47 % and if we include those who had plans to get vaccinated the rate is close to 70 %
除了鼓勵員工接種疫苗外，醫管局亦由6月中起試行為長期住院的病人接種疫苗。
In addition to encouraging vaccination among staff members HA has been providing COVID - 19 vaccination for long - stay patients on a pilot basis starting from mid - June
病人可自行選擇接種疫苗，醫護人員會在取得病人或監護人同意的情況下才進行接種，有關安排與《病人約章》並無抵觸。
The vaccination is voluntary and no vaccines will be administered to the patients unless they or their guardians have given consent . This arrangement does not violate the Patients Charter
至於學童方面，根據藥廠提供的數據，完成接種兩劑復必泰疫苗對12至15歲青少年有顯著的保護作用，所產生的抗體水平較成年人高，能夠100%預防病發。
As for students according to the data provided by the drug manufacturer the protection for persons aged 12 to 15 is significant upon completion of two doses of the Comirnaty vaccine . The level of antibodies developed in them is higher than that in adults with 100 % efficacy against the disease
為締造安全學習環境，我呼籲家長盡早安排子女接種疫苗。
In order to create a safe learning environment I appeal to parents to arrange for their children to get vaccinated as soon as possible
