同時，香港不應忽略中醫在基層醫療的角色。
Besides Hong Kong should not overlook the role of Chinese medicine in primary healthcare
主席，自由黨支持參考"公私營醫療協作"模式，把私營醫療服務納入第一道醫療防線的發展規劃中。
President the Liberal Party supports by drawing reference from the mode of public - private healthcare partnership incorporating private healthcare services into the development planning for a first line of defence in healthcare
事實上，鑒於香港公私營醫療嚴重失衡，自由黨一直鼓勵當局加強公私營合作，由政府資助部分費用，鼓勵較有經濟能力的病人，特別是癌症病人，從公營醫院分流到私營醫療系統。
In fact given the severe imbalance in public - private healthcare the Liberal Party has been advising the authorities to enhance public - private partnership . Through subsidizing part of the fees the Government can encourage diversion of those patients from public hospitals to the private healthcare system especially cancer patients in who have the financial ability
以醫管局推行的白內障手術公私營協作為例，多年來成功把大量病人分流到私營醫院進行手術，已見顯著成效。
In the example of HAs public - private partnership programme in the provision of cataract surgeries a large number of patients have been diverted to private hospitals for the surgeries over the years and remarkable effect has already been shown
近年私營醫院相應大幅調低白內障手術的費用，讓中產人士大大受惠。
In recent years private hospitals have correspondingly made a drastic downward adjustment of the operation fees for cataract surgeries so that the middle class can be greatly benefited
不過，自由黨想指出一點，現時許多病人當發現身體出現嚴重及須長期診治的毛病時，仍會請私家醫生寫轉介信，轉到公營醫院作長期跟進。
However the Liberal Party wishes to highlight that at present many patients will still ask private doctors for referral letters to public hospitals for long - term medical care when they are detected to have any serious illnesses requiring long - term treatment
究其原因，是由於私營醫院的收費高昂，即使買了保險的病人亦未必能夠負擔，所以乾脆回流到公營醫院。
The reason is the exorbitant charges in private hospitals which the patients may not be able to afford despite the insurance coverage . They thus simply return to public hospitals for treatment
當然，我們需要加強監管私營醫療的收費，但這也解決不了香港供不應求以至私營醫療服務收費高昂的現象。
Of course we need to step up monitoring of private healthcare charges but this can still not redress the problems of supply falling short of demand and overcharging of private healthcare services
再者，在大灣區"1小時生活圈"的刺激下，香港是有必要擴大私營醫療系統的需要，但這又回到土地及人手的問題。
Besides under the stimulation of the one - hour living circle within the Greater Bay Area Hong Kong needs to expand the private healthcare system . But this again boils down to the land and manpower problems
醫學界常指，不應動輒將問題扯到人手不足方面；他們反將矛頭指向醫管局，批評當局管理不善、資源錯配。
The healthcare sector often says that manpower shortage should not be always blamed for the problems . On the contrary they point an accusing finger at HA criticizing HA for its mismanagement and mismatch of resources
自由黨同意如要解決香港的醫療問題，必須多管齊下，包括減輕醫管局醫護人員的行政工作、解決資源分配不均，以及在季節性流行性感冒高峰期間彈性調配人手等。
The Liberal Party agrees that in order to resolve the healthcare problem of Hong Kong a multipronged approach has to be adopted . The measures include reducing the administrative work of healthcare personnel in HA redressing the problem of uneven distribution of resources and deploying manpower flexibly during the seasonal influenza surge
但這並不與輸入海外醫生互相排斥，兩者理應同步進行。
But these measures and the importation of overseas doctors should not be mutually exclusive and should proceed concurrently
自由黨經常批評醫管局審批新藥物時間過長，有需要放寬。
The Liberal Party always criticizes HA for the long time it takes for vetting and approving new drugs and the procedures need to be relaxed
然而，對於是否取消藥物名冊制度，由政府直接資助，我們則認為需要先研究清楚後者是否確實比較可取，在審批資助方面尤其須作詳細討論，包括政府出資的金額。
Nonetheless in regard to the proposal of abolishing the system of Drug Formulary and having the Government directly offer drug subsidies we opine that it is necessary to first study clearly whether the latter is genuinely more preferable while detailed discussion is especially warranted in the vetting and approving of subsidies including the amount subsidized by the Government
主席，醫管局已準備兩個十年醫院發展計劃。
President HA is already prepared for the two 10 - year Hospital Development Plans
但有硬件，沒有軟件亦於事無補。
However the problem cannot be resolved with only the hardware but without the software
今天廣大市民已承受醫生人手不足的副作用，公營醫院專科輪候時間屢創新高。
Today the general public are already suffering from the side effects of a shortage of doctors as the waiting time for consulting specialists in public hospitals has repeatedly reached new heights
香港必須有足夠的醫院和醫護人員，才可配合醫療改革的施行，令病人求醫時有更大的自主權及更多選擇。
Hong Kong must have sufficient hospital and healthcare personnel in order to support the implementation of a healthcare reform so that patients can have greater autonomy and more choices when seeking medical treatment
我們必須正視這個問題，放寬海外醫生來港工作的門檻。
We have to face this issue squarely and lower the threshold for overseas doctors to practise in Hong Kong
說到底，這只是供求的問題。
This is after all a question of demand and supply
當醫生人手不足，私家醫生的收費越來越貴，病人寧願到公營醫院求醫，而公營醫院醫生收入永遠追不上私家醫生的收入。
When there are insufficient doctors and the charges of private doctors are getting higher patients will seek medical treatment in public hospitals . But the income of a doctor in a public hospital can never catch up with the income of a private doctor
當私家醫生已成為我在此曾提及的"星球人"，即1星期賺取"1球"，莫非我們也要讓公營醫院的醫生1星期賺取80萬元，以挽留他們嗎？
When private doctors have already become the so - called extra - terrestrials referring to those who earn 1 million per week that I mentioned here before do we also need to offer a salary of 800,000 per week to doctors in public hospitals so as to retain them in the public sector?
醫療改革固然重要，但不代表我們要一面倒投入資源，不講求成本效益。
Healthcare reform is surely important but it does not mean that we have to lopsidedly put in resources without giving regard to cost - effectiveness
否則，隨着人口老化日趨嚴重，在有限的資源下，醫療成本將越趨高昂，難以應付。
Otherwise as our population is ageing rapidly under limited resources the cost of healthcare will be getting too high for us to bear
我在此再次呼籲：香港市民真的要認清楚，輸入外地專才醫生並不會降低我們的醫療水準，相反，水準會因而得以提高。
Once again I call upon the public in Hong Kong to see clearly that the importation of overseas specialist doctors will not lower our healthcare standard but in contrary will enhance our standard
千萬不要讓少數為了維護個人利益的人誤導，特別是我們議會內有一位議員，即使他從地區直選中勝出，但為了維護個人利益，經常反對輸入外地醫生。
They should not be misled by a small number of people who only aim to safeguard their personal benefits especially one Member in this Council who despite winning his seat in a geographical direct election always opposes the importation of overseas doctors for the sake of safeguarding his personal interests
主席，首先，我感謝陳恒鑌議員提出這項議案，但我其實是不想與局長討論改革問題的，因為大家也知道，局長的前身在香港大學醫學院擔任學者，我沒理由在此拋數據令她難堪，但很可惜，數據確實說明了一切。
President first of all I thank Mr CHAN Han - pan for moving this motion . But in fact I do not want to discuss the reform issue with the Secretary as we all know that the Secretary was formerly a scholar in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong and there is no reason for me to embarrass her with loads of figures . However it is very unfortunate that the figures have exactly told us everything
我們今年的醫療開支佔國民生產總值仍然不過3%，是在所有發達國家當中數字最低的。
This year our healthcare expenditure still accounts for no more than 3 % of our Gross Domestic Product GDP the lowest level among all the developed economies
政府經常說，我們的醫療開支逐年上升，但這又是謊話。
The Government always says that our healthcare expenditure is rising year by year but this is another lie
在2019-2020年度醫療總開支是699億元，佔政府經常開支15.85%，較2014年的16.32%為低；而佔政府開支的百分比，2019年的11.5%亦較2014年的12.57%為低。
In 2019 - 2020 the total healthcare expenditure is 69.9 billion accounting for 15.85 % of the Governments recurrent expenditure and is lower than the 16.32 % in 2014 . In terms of the percentage in the Governments expenditure it is 11.5 % in 2019 which is also lower than 12.57 % in 2014
有時候，錢無法解決所有問題。
Sometimes money cannot resolve all problems
所以，在今天的議案中，我們也提到政府究竟有否對錯焦、做錯事呢？
Hence in the motion today we also mention whether the Government is off the mark or has done something wrong
某程度上是有的。
The answer is in the positive to a certain extent
政府推行醫療改革，並非今天的事情。
The launching of a healthcare reform is not initiated by the Government today
如果我們比對今時今日醫管局在醫療服務中發揮的作用，不幸地，可能較以往未有醫管局時的醫務衞生署更加不濟。
It is unfortunate that the function of HA in healthcare services nowadays may be even worse than that of the Medical and Health Department before HA was established
因為，在醫務衞生署的年代，雖然我們的資源不多，政府仍然很窮，但當時政府的目標很清晰，就是要盡所有方法、盡所有能力，把所有醫護人員的時間盡量放在醫療工作上。
It is because during the Medical and Health Department era although our resources were scarce and the Government was still very poor the Government had a very clear target that by all means and with all efforts the time of all healthcare personnel would be devoted on healthcare work
這數十年來，每年有6,000人在輪候長期照顧宿位期間死亡，他們直接影響醫院，這是第一方面。
In these few decades 6 000 people passed away each year while they were waiting for long - term care places for the elderly posing a direct impact on hospitals . This is the first aspect
第二方面，很多時病人到醫管局輪候專科服務，並非單單為看醫生，因為等候三四個月才獲醫生診症7分鐘；大家都知道，其實他們是要取藥。
Secondly many patients wait for HAs specialist services not purely for the sake of consultation as a patient only has seven minutes to consult the doctor after waiting for three to four months . We all understand that they actually aim to get the prescription drugs
政府推行公私營合作這麼多年，需要明白，若要解決長者醫療問題，便應制訂一個制度，讓他們可以在外面取藥。
After launching the public - private partnership programme for so many years the Government needs to understand that in order to resolve the elderly healthcare problem it should set up a system for them to obtain prescription drugs outside hospitals
大家都知道， 長者一年回來取三四次藥，其餘時間都是看家庭醫生的，因為他們知道，如果輪候專科服務，甚至到急症室候診的話，是愚弄自己。
As we are aware the elderly usually go to hospitals three to four times a year for getting prescription drugs . For the rest of the time they will consult their family doctors when necessary because they know that if they wait for specialist services or even services of accident and emergency departments they are making a fool of themselves
但是，政府不改變，繼續將病人鎖在公營系統內，他們唯有回來取藥，十多二十年如是，這是第一點。
Nonetheless for two decades the Government has not made any changes but continues to lock the patients in the public system and these patients have no other alternatives but go to hospitals several times a year only for drugs . This is the first point
第二點，政府沒有前瞻性。
The second point is the lack of vision of the Government
我們在談論醫管局改革。
We are talking about the reform of HA
我很不幸，2004年被政府委任入醫管局，但兩年後便停止委任。
It was very unfortunate that I was appointed by the Government to the HA Board in 2004 but my appointment came to an end two years later
然而，我觀察到，醫管局的管治水平相當差。
However as I have observed the management level of HA is rather poor
大家都知道不需要負責任，有些人沽名釣譽，有些人獲政府委任卻對醫院管理一曉不通。
As we all know it does not have to take up responsibility . Some appointees are eager to strive for reputation while some appointees know nothing about hospital management
這樣政府便很安樂，因為有人為其招架，有甚麼問題便找主席及委員來招架。
But the Government is glad about this as some people will take up responsibility for it . When anything happens the Chairman and the Board Members will be there to deal with the situation
但是，政府這種所託非人的做法，到現在也沒有改變。
The Governments approach of putting HA into wrong hands however has not changed hitherto
醫管局虛耗很多醫生的精力和理想。
HA has wasted a lot of energy and ideals of doctors
今天有一則報道，指很多醫生離開醫管局加入私營市場。
A media report today says that many doctors go to private practice after leaving HA
其實很多醫生希望繼續將所學醫療知識應用於公營系統，但看了10年、20年、30年，便絕望了；從小看到大，由當年任見習醫生到現在當副顧問醫生，看到醫管局不但沒有進步，還不斷沉淪，政府卻視而不見。
In fact many doctors hoped that they could continue to apply their medical knowledge on the public system . But after observing the system for 10 years 20 years or 30 years they are in despair . From being medical interns to Associate Consultants they have been observing the system for many years
局長、副局長，其實和大家一樣，都是在這個年代長大，沒有理由不知道這些惡劣慘況，但是他們從來無心改變。
The Secretary and the Under Secretary are in fact the same as us who grew up in this era . They certainly know these poor and miserable conditions but they never want to change
基層醫療，是政府本應做好的，但沒有做好。
The Government is obliged to provide proper primary healthcare services but it fails to do so
醫生不想在衞生署工作，無論是遺傳篩選服務或皮膚科，因為這麼多年署方沒有改善自己的制度，連一些最簡單跟市民溝通的API ，說得難聽一點，也不堪入目。
Doctors do not want to work for DH no matter in genetic screening services or dermatology services because for all these years DH has not improved its own system and even its Application Programming Interface API for simple communication with the public is poorly designed
主席，今天的議題是"推動醫療改革"。
President todays subject is Promoting healthcare reform
我剛才一直在上面聆聽不同議員的發言。
I have been listening to Members speeches at my office
不過，我想先指出，今天這個議題很明顯是個民生議題，剛才有議員肆意偏離議題，發言旨在政治攻擊，我要表示非常不滿。
But first I wish to say that this subject today is obviously a livelihood issue . Just now some Member deliberately digressed from the subject and made a political attack at another Member . I have to express my dissatisfaction with such act
主席，我希望大家回歸民生議題的討論，這個議題關於公營醫療系統，希望大家盡量集中處理。
President I hope we can come back to discuss this livelihood issue . This subject is about the public healthcare system . I hope Members will try to focus on it
主席，陳恒鑌議員今天提出"推動醫療改革"的議案，我認為非常有迫切性。
President I think the motion on Promoting healthcare reform proposed by Mr CHAN Han - pan today is a matter of urgency
眾所周知，我們的醫療體系面對沉重的挑戰，公私營人手長期失衡，公營醫療系統只有全港不足四成的醫生人手，卻需要應付全港九成市民的住院醫療服務。
Everyone knows that our healthcare system is facing a serious challenge . There has been a long - standing imbalance in the distribution of manpower between the public and private healthcare sectors . Less than 40 % of the doctors are working in the public healthcare system but they have to provide hospital care services for 90 % of the people in Hong Kong
每當流感高峰期來臨，公營醫院的走廊和病房均放滿病床，醫護人員不眠不休地照顧病人。
At every influenza peak season public hospital wards and corridors are filled up with hospitals beds . The healthcare personnel works tirelessly taking care of patients
他們的壓力不是快將"爆煲"，而是已經"爆煲"。
They are not approaching their pressure limit . They have already exceeded their pressure limit
更令人憂慮的是，公營醫院的人手持續流失，令情況雪上加霜，市民輪候醫療服務的時間與日俱增。
A more worrying phenomenon is that there has been continual staff wastage in public hospitals . This makes the situation worse . People queuing for healthcare services have to wait longer
根據醫院管理局的資料，去年7個醫院聯網的急症室跟進第三類別的緊急病人，即發高燒、懷疑骨折或嚴重扭傷等病人，有6個聯網未能達標，其中表現最差的是伊利沙伯醫院和廣華醫院所在的九龍中聯網，這兩間醫院急症室的緊急病人平均需要輪候超過33分鐘，超出30分鐘的服務承諾。
According to information from the Hospital Authority HA out of the accidents and emergency AE departments in the seven hospital clusters HA failed last year to meet the waiting time target in six of them for the treatment of urgent Triage 3 patients ie . people with high fever suspected fractures or serious sprains . The ones with the poorest performance were Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Kwong Wah Hospital of the Kowloon Central Cluster
更不用說輪候專科了，動輒數以年計，很多議員同事均曾幫忙跟進，知道很多個案情況也是這樣，要病人一等再等，不斷承受這種痛苦，是一種折磨。
Needless to say the waiting time for specialist outpatient clinics were even worse . Patients needed to wait for years . Many Members have helped followed up such cases and they know many cases are of similar situation
醫護人員筋疲力竭，病人亦怨聲載道，所以香港的醫療體系改革真的有需要，而且迫在眉睫。
It is a torture for patients to suffer the pain of everlasting waiting . The healthcare personnel is exhausted; patients are filled with discontent . Hence there is a genuine and urgent need for a healthcare system reform
主席，近年政府不斷增加醫療撥款，包括增撥資源給醫管局，但這筆資源能否用得其所呢？
President over recent years the Government has forked out more money on healthcare including allocating more resources for HA . But is the money used on the right place?
是否單靠錢便可以解決香港積存已久的醫療問題呢？
Can money alone solve the long - standing problems in our healthcare system?
現實情況已經告訴我們，是不可以的，公營醫療的深層矛盾，還要尋找一些長遠方法來解決。
Reality tells us that it cannot . The deep - rooted conflict in the public healthcare system needs to be solved by a long - term solution
我們認為發展全面的預防性醫療系統，落實和推行基層醫療，正是我們其中一個長遠的出路。
We hold that one of the ways out in the long run is to develop an all - round preventive healthcare system and formulate and implement primary healthcare
正所謂預防勝於治療，正如一場球賽，只要防守工作做得好，勝出的機會便會增加，身體上的小毛病如果能夠及早處理和修正，病情便不會惡化。
Prevention is better than cure . Like a football match the team with better defence will have a higher chance of winning . Likewise a minor ailment if handled and treated early will not become worse
現時香港公營醫療系統有"重治療、輕預防"的弊端，大家有病也會湧向龍頭醫院，地區診所無法發揮分流作用。
The public healthcare system in Hong Kong has the problem of emphasizing treatment over prevention . People go to leading hospitals when they get sick . District clinics cannot serve the function of triaging patients
正如我剛才提及的第四類次緊急病人，有部分其實未必需要向急症室求診，但本港的基層醫療服務不足，一旦病人無法在診所預約候診，或碰上假期較少診所開門，大家最後逼於無奈還是會向公營醫院求診。
Some of the semi - urgent Triage IV patients which I just mentioned actually did not need to go to AE departments for treatment . Due to insufficient primary healthcare services people who fall sick but cannot make an appointment at district clinics or who happen to fall sick during holidays when very few clinics open will have to go to public hospitals for medical consultation
主席，發展預防性醫療服務、發展基層醫療，在香港已經提出30年。
President the proposals of developing preventive healthcare services and primary healthcare have been raised for 30 years
不過老實說，這30年來相關的發展停滯不前，未如理想。
Honestly the development in this regard in the past 30 years has been minimal and hardly satisfactory
我們看到本屆政府在推動基層醫療方面，其實做了一些工作，例如食物及衞生局在2017年11月成立基層醫療健康發展督導委員會，但我期望政府不僅停留在"檢視"、"制訂藍圖"或"建議"的階段，不可以說多於做，應該提出更加實際的措施，落實推行，做好社區預防、分流和健康管理。
Actually this Government has made an effort to promote primary healthcare . For instance the Food and Health Bureau established the Steering Committee on Primary Healthcare Development in November 2017 . But I hope that the Government will not stop at the stage of reviewing blueprint formulation and making proposals
是否真的可以考慮加快擴展公營地區康健中心至全港18區，令原本以"治療"、"醫院"為中心的醫療服務模式轉變成"預防"、"社區"為中心呢？
It should not pay lip service . But rather it should propose more practical measures and put them into practice; it should properly conduct community prevention triage and health management . Can it consider expediting the development of publicly - run District Health Centres in all 18 districts so that healthcare services which have been treatment and hospital - oriented can become prevention and community - oriented?
主席，在我服務的九龍西，未來將會有明顯的人口增長，政府需要為市民提供更全面和到位的醫療服務。
President in Kowloon West where I serve the population will obviously surge in the future . The Government needs to more comprehensively provide healthcare services for the residents
例如，我們最近跟進的石硤尾母嬰健康院重置個案。
For instance we have been following up the redevelopment of the Shek Kip Mei Maternal and Child Health Centre
局長，我已多次提出，希望可以增加資源，在健康院重建後增設更多的服務，包括我們一直向局長提出的夜診和假日門診等，這些服務對九龍西的市民而言非常有迫切性。
Secretary I have repeatedly proposed that more resources be allocated to the redeveloped Shek Kip Mei Maternal and Child Health Centre so that more services can be put therein . Such additional services include evening Sunday and holiday clinic services which we have been proposing to the Secretary . These are much needed services to the Kowloon West residents
當然，牙科門診也是一樣的。
Certainly dental services are also needed
此外，香港人口急速老化，長者病人亦有所增加，政府應該與時並進，進一步加強為長者提供的基層醫療護理服務。
Moreover the population in Hong Kong has been ageing rapidly . The number of elderly patients will also increase . The Government should keep abreast of the time and further strengthen primary healthcare and medical services for elderly people
政府在這方面仍然有很大的改善空間。
The Government still has much room for improvement in this regard
例如，現時衞生署在全港設有18間長者健康中心，以會員制運作，在過去10年間，長者健康中心的會員人數沒有大幅增長，每年只是大約增加1%，遠遠趕不上每年長者人口的增長，當中一個原因，是我們沒有再怎樣開設這些長者健康中心。
Elderly Health Centres established by the Department of Health in 18 districts across the territory are operated by a membership system . In the past 10 years there was no major growth in their membership . The annual growth was about 1 % which lagged far behind the annual growth in the number of elderly persons
是否可以在適當時候，增加這些長者健康中心的服務量和服務時數呢？
One of the reasons is that we have not established many more such centres . Is it possible to expand and extend the service capacity and service hours of these centres at appropriate times? . Moreover the Government also has much room for improvement in promoting the use of elderly healthcare vouchers
此外，鼓勵長者使用長者醫療券亦有很大的優化空間，我知道局長一直在跟進醫療券的問題，如何能夠讓更多長者善用醫療券，以便作出分流減少入院，如何加強宣傳呢？
I know that the Secretary has been following up the issue of healthcare vouchers . If the Government can enable the elderly persons to make good use of the healthcare vouchers this will help to triage cases and reduce hospitalization . But how will the Government step up promotion in this regard?
最後，我支持陳恒鑌議員的原議案，亦會支持麥美娟議員、邵家臻議員、李國麟議員和黃碧雲議員的修正案。
Lastly I support Mr CHAN Han - pans original motion and also the amendments proposed by Ms Alice MAK Mr SHIU Ka - chun Prof Joseph LEE and Dr Helena WONG
至於陳沛然議員和朱凱廸議員的修正案，由於他們刪除了原議案中的探討"師徒制"的可行性的建議，我們是無法接受的，但對他們新增的建議表示認同，所以我們會表決棄權。
As for the amendments proposed by Dr Pierre CHAN and Mr CHU Hoi - dick I am afraid we cannot accept them because they have deleted in their amendments the proposal of exploring the feasibility of a mentorship approach . But we agree with their additional proposals . Hence we will abstain from voting on their amendments
至於郭家麒議員的修正案，由於他提出取消醫管局的藥物名冊制度，但我們民主建港協進聯盟一直認為，藥物名冊有存在必要，所以我們會表決棄權。
As for Dr KWOK Ka - kis amendment given that he proposes to abolish the system of the HA Drug Formulary and we the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong are of the view that the Drug Formulary must exist we will abstain from voting on his amendment as well
代理主席，醫療改革是政府當前一個很重要的任務。
Deputy President healthcare reform is an important task for the Government at the moment
香港公私營醫療系統的人力資源一直失衡，公營醫療系統長期迫爆。
There is a constant imbalance of manpower resources between the public and private healthcare systems with the public healthcare system persistently overloaded
根據醫院管理局資料顯示，骨科新症最長要輪候兩年以上，眼科新症則最長要輪候3年，到病人就診時，病情可能已出現很多變化。
As revealed by the information of the Hospital Authority the longest waiting time for new cases in the specialty of orthopaedics is more than two years while that for new cases in the specialty of ophthalmology is three years . When patients manage to receive medical consultation their medical condition may have changed a lot
我認同政府應該參考"公私營醫療協作"模式，將私營醫療服務納入整體發展規劃，利用私營力量減少公營醫療系統所承受的壓力。
I concur with the view that the Government should draw reference from the public - private partnership model in healthcare and incorporate private healthcare services into the overall development planning so as to draw on the strength of the private sector to alleviate the pressure on the public healthcare system
如果情況持續下去，公營診所將會瀕臨崩潰，醫生苦不堪言。
If such situation persists public clinics are going to reach their breaking point and doctors will suffer miserably
即使現時有津貼計劃供某些病人到私家診所求診，但由於誘因不大，私家診所的參與度亦不高。
Even though there is currently a subsidy scheme for certain patients to seek medical consultation at private clinics the participation rate of private clinics is not high owing to insufficient incentive
我認為公私營合營方式可以妥善解決這些問題，有效地將病人由公營醫療系統疏導至公私合營診所，長遠令病人得到更適切的治療，令他們"病向淺中醫"，亦可以提升私營服務的聲譽。
In my view the public - private partnership approach can satisfactorily resolve these problems and effectively divert patients from the public healthcare system to clinics run under public - private partnership . In the long run this will enable patients to receive more suitable treatment and encourage them to seek medical treatment at an early stage . Also this can enhance the reputation of the services provided by the private sector
政府應該好好考慮，為本港醫療服務注入公私合營的新元素，提升整體醫療體系的水平。
The Government should seriously consider injecting the new element of public - private partnership into the healthcare services of Hong Kong to enhance the overall standard of the healthcare system
特首林鄭月娥在施政報告中提及推廣基層醫療，我同意特首的出發點，照顧社會基層是值得關注的事項。
The Chief Executive Carrie LAM spoke about promoting primary healthcare in her Policy Address . I agree with her rationale that taking care of people at the bottom of society is something that warrants our concern
很多在香港定居的少數族裔 人士依然覺得求診困難。
Many of the ethnic minority people who have settled in Hong Kong still find it difficult to seek medical consultation
我有一些在香港扎根多年的印度朋友，他們非常關心社會，不單只是關心印度族裔人士的議題。
I have some Indian friends who have put down roots in Hong Kong for years . They are very concerned about our society caring about issues beyond those relating to the Indian community
