如果因為有新型煙草產品吸引青年人成為煙民，除了每減少1%便要花3年的時間外，還要花大量的人力物力和資源。
If young people become smokers because of the appeal of novel tobacco products a large amount of manpower and resources will be needed apart from three years of time for the reduction of every 1 % of smokers
不論教育、推廣、戒煙工作和醫療等均相當昂貴，所以不能走回頭路。
Education promotion smoking cessation and medical treatment are all very costly so we cannot go backwards
另外，在討論的過程中，也有不少爭議，這些爭議可簡單歸納為數點。
Besides during the course of discussion there has been much controversy which can be briefly summarized into a few points
第一，由於煙草產品的產業鏈龐大，商界基於本位主義，阻撓法案是無可厚非的。
Firstly given the huge industry chain of tobacco products it is understandable that the business sector would interfere with the Bill from an egocentric perspective
但是，我要在此強調，議會的立法工作須關乎社會的整體利益，減低健康風險，同時也要為醫療開支負責。
However here I would like to stress that the legislative work of the Council must be concerned with the overall interests of society . We should reduce health risks and at the same time be responsible for healthcare expenses
當然，還有一點，就是大家會問二手煙的問題。
Of course another point which people will raise is the question about second - hand smoke
有人說煤氣本身沒有氣味，但由於要表達危險性，所以加入了氣味。
Some people say that natural gas is odourless but owing to the need to convey its danger an odour is added
如果電子煙、加熱煙的二手煙使用了不同的味道掩蓋原來的煙味，其他一般市民又如何預防這些二手煙呢？
If different flavours have been used to cover up the original smell of second - hand smoke from e - cigarettes and HTPs how can the other people avoid such second - hand smoke?
另外，公聽會有不少報販參與，表達希望能夠售賣加熱煙。
In addition quite a number of newspaper vendors have participated in the public hearings to express their wish to sell HTPs
事實上，報販的生計是值得關注的。
In fact the livelihood of newspaper hawkers deserves our concern
當然不可以，因為它們本身都是吸煙產品，反而更加會產生門戶效應，吸引年輕人加入成為煙民。
It certainly cannot because they are also smoking products by themselves . On the contrary they will create a gateway effect and attract young people to become smokers
如果跌入這個邏輯陷阱，便是忽略了說話本身的用意和中了圈套，所以是絕對不能跌進這陷阱。
If one falls into this trap of logic one has overlooked the original intention of the argument and fallen for the trick . Hence we must not fall into this trap
希望未來的禁煙工作能夠在政府和有關專業委員會的帶領下，繼續向前邁進，達致一個無煙的城市。
I hope that led by the Government and the relevant professional committees the anti - smoking efforts will continue to move forward to achieve the goal of making Hong Kong a smoke - free city in the future
主席，我發言支持《2021年醫生註冊條例草案》。
President I speak in support of the Medical Registration Amendment Bill 2021 the Bill
首先，我要指出少許背景，是有關醫生短缺的情況。
First of all I have to highlight some background on the shortfall of doctors
根據立法會今日提供的資訊，截至2020年12月，全港共有15,298名註冊醫生，每1,000名人口有兩名醫生，這比例落後於很多其他地區及國家。
According to information provided by the Legislative Council today as at December 2020 there were 15 298 registered doctors in Hong Kong amounting to a ratio of 2 doctors per 1 000 population which lags behind that in many other regions and countries
以人均醫生比例來說，新加坡是2.5名，美國是2.6名，英國是3名，澳洲是3.8名。
For instance the per capita doctor ratio is 2.5 in Singapore; 2.6 in the United States; 3.0 in the United Kingdom; and 3.8 in Australia
很明顯，本港註冊醫生的數目，以平均人口計算，並不足夠。
Obviously the number of registered doctors in Hong Kong is inadequate compared to the average population
根據推算，到了2030年，我們會欠缺1,610名註冊醫生；到了2040年，會欠缺1,949名註冊醫生。
It is projected that by 2030 there will be a shortfall of 1 610 registered doctors; and by 2040 there will be a shortfall of 1 949 registered doctors
由此可見，就人手短缺問題，當局必須盡快採取措施處理。
Thus it is crucial for the authorities to take timely action to address the problem of manpower shortage
就《條例草案》，我們當然歡迎政府走出了一步。
Regarding the Bill we certainly welcome the Government taking one step forward
過去培訓本地醫生是一個途徑，而吸納非本地醫生，包括我們現在談及的海外醫生，本來也是一個很有效的途徑，但正如今日很多同事指出，香港特區政府在過去一段很長時間關上了大門。
In the past training local doctors was one way and the admission of non - locally trained doctors NLTDs including the overseas doctors that we are talking about was originally another highly effective way . However as many colleagues have pointed out today the HKSAR Government has shut the door for a very long time previously
在回歸前，很多英聯邦地區的註冊醫生均可以免試在香港執業。
Before the return of sovereignty many registered doctors of Commonwealth countries were permitted to practise in Hong Kong without taking any examination
如果我們看看數字，就會知道分別非常大。
If we look at the figures we will realize that the difference is enormous
在1992年至1996年，持有非本地醫學資格的新增註冊醫生所佔比例為56%，但到了2015年至2019年，即較近期，持有非本地醫學資格的新增註冊醫生所佔比例已降至只有13%。
Between 1992 and 1996 the share of newly registered doctors with non - local medical qualifications was 56 % but between 2015 and 2019 ie . more recently the share of newly registered doctors with non - local medical qualifications dropped to only 13 %
不過，我想在此指出，這個安排應該算是走出了一步，但對於整個醫療體系的人手編配，以及未來醫療機構、醫療系統的整體發展，仍有很多工夫要做。
However I wish to point out here that while this arrangement should be considered a step forward there is still a lot of work to be done in terms of manpower allocation for the entire healthcare system and the future development of the healthcare institutions and the healthcare system as a whole
其中一點今日很多同事也有提及。
One of the points has been mentioned by many colleagues today
雖說香港是公私營醫療系統並行，以"兩條腿走路"，但只要大家看看數字，就會知道已經很失衡。
Although Hong Kong has been promoting public - private partnership so as to walk on two legs if we look at the figures we will know that there is already a great imbalance
在2016年，政府進行了一項統計，私營醫療機構提供的醫療服務佔整體18%，而公營醫療服務則佔82%。
A survey conducted by the Government in 2016 revealed that the supply of medical services by private healthcare institutions accounted for 18 % of the total while the public sector accounted for 82 %
簡單來說，就是8：2，8是公營，2是私營。
To put it simply the public to private ratio is 8col2
就此，我想提出的是，有效地梳理這方面的平衡，讓私營醫療機構發揮本身應有的作用，也是一項需要密切跟進和探討的議題。
In this regard I wish to highlight that the Government should also follow up closely and explore ways to effectively maintain the balance so that the private healthcare institutions can play to their strengths
我希望藉此機會向局長提出。
This is what I wish to take this opportunity to highlight to the Secretary
在公營醫療系統方面，人手短缺會導致剛才所說的問題，包括病人輪候時間過長。
As regards the public healthcare system manpower shortage will lead to the aforesaid problems including excessively long waiting time for patients
另外，我也想提及的是，政府已提出兩項十年醫院發展計劃，現時很多項目已上馬並進行中。
Besides I would also like to mention that the Government has rolled out two 10 - year Hospital Development Plans and many projects are underway
投放了這麼多金錢在基建做好醫院，將來一定要有足夠的人手配套。
Having invested so much money in infrastructure to develop hospitals there must be sufficient manpower to support them in the future
因此，在公營醫療系統方面，除了吸納海外醫生幫忙外，如何留住現存或將來會在公營醫療系統工作的醫生，包括改善他們的待遇、處理他們工作上面對的問題，以及人手編配得宜，以致能夠真正有效地挽留人手，亦是相當重要的。
Therefore in respect of the public healthcare system other than seeking assistance from overseas doctors it is also very important to retain the existing doctors and those who will potentially work in the public healthcare system including improving their remuneration solving the problems they encounter in their work and achieving better manpower deployment so as to genuinely and effectively retain manpower
如果我們解決不到這個問題，就解決不到公營醫院現時長期面對的問題。
As long as we cannot solve this problem we will not be able to solve the long - term problem faced by public hospitals
因此，就這一點，我認為局長可能要考慮一下。
Therefore regarding this point I think the Secretary may need to give some consideration
雖然將來會有新增的人手，但我們亦要同時梳理整個醫管局或整個公營醫療系統的資源、人手分配，以致能夠真正有效地挽留人手在公營醫療機構服務，這樣才真正能夠改善我們的醫療服務。
Although there will be additional manpower in the future we have to ensure proper allocation of resources and manpower in HA or the public healthcare system as a whole so as to genuinely and effectively retain manpower in the public healthcare sector thereby genuinely improving our healthcare services
當然，這支持與我所參與的法案委員會委員身份亦有一些不同的看法。
Of course by lending my support this time around I have some views which are different from those on account of my membership in the Bills Committee
其實這項法例的修訂是對整個社會的健康發揮了正面作用，亦帶出一個很重要的信息︰吸煙會危害健康。
In fact the amendment of this legislation will produce a positive effect on the health of society as a whole . It also brings out a very important message Smoking is hazardous to health
當然，今次這項修訂條例草案予人覺得有不公平的地方是，只禁止新型及其他代替煙草的產品，沒有禁止傳統煙類產品，所以，對於現時經營或正在吸食這類電子產品包括電子煙和加熱煙的人士及煙民來說，他們是有一些非常不滿的地方。
Of course people perceive this amendment bill as unfair since it only bans novel products and other products as a substitute for tobacco whereas conventional tobacco products are not banned . Therefore those who are currently operating business relating to or consuming such electronic products―including electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products HTPs―have some strong grievances
我亦留意到包括一些報販代表、旅遊界人士，以及商界朋友均對政府今次在修例過程中，"一刀切"將這些另類吸煙產品納入規管範圍，表示相當不滿。
I have also noticed that some people including representatives of newspaper hawkers members of the tourism industry and friends from the business sector have expressed their deep dissatisfaction with the Governments across - the - board approach in bringing these alternative smoking products under regulatory control in the course of this legislative amendment exercise
同時，在法案委員會的討論過程中，我們亦留意到，當中有一些外國機構，較為著名的是美國食品及藥物管理局，就加熱煙對健康影響的數據而言，他們也未能證實加熱煙與傳統煙相比，影響是較傳統煙嚴重。
At the same time during the deliberation process of the Bills Committee we have also noticed that some overseas organizations the more well - known one being the US Food and Drug Administration are unable to establish that HTPs have more serious impacts than conventional cigarettes with the data on the health implications of the former
所以，政府在這項修訂中，只禁止加熱煙，不禁傳統煙，令人覺得政府不公平，而且會對這個行業造成一些打擊。
Therefore given that the Government only bans HTPs but not conventional cigarettes in this amendment exercise it makes people think that the Government is being unfair and it will deal a blow to the industry
當然，大家也知道煙類產品除了傳統煙外，其他煙類產品的發展十分迅速，而且這些產品的研發在這數十年內不斷湧現。
Certainly we all know that as far as tobacco products are concerned apart from conventional cigarettes rapid development has been seen in other tobacco products as well with the research and development of such products emerging continuously in the past few decades
就這個手段，由於政府"放生"傳統煙，造成市民認為政府立法不公而出現不少爭議。
Such a move has given rise to quite a lot of controversies because members of the public think the Government is being unfair in enacting legislation since the Government has let go conventional cigarettes
在這一點上，似乎在整個立法過程中，予人感覺不足以服眾。
In this regard it seems that people do not find the entire legislative process sufficiently convincing
所以，我建議政府可否就禁售傳統煙訂立時間表，作為政府真正維護整體市民健康的重要標誌，否則便會被認為只是為了經濟利益，因為吸食傳統煙的人事實上比吸食其他煙類產品的人多，因此政府為了經濟利益而不會在這方面作出妥協。
In view of this I suggest that the Government may draw up a timetable for banning the sale of conventional cigarettes which will serve as an important sign that the Government is indeed safeguarding the health of the public as a whole . Otherwise it would be seen as acting merely for economic benefits because actually more people consume conventional cigarettes than other tobacco products so the Government will not compromise on this issue for the sake of economic benefits
如果從經濟角度考慮，加熱煙最終必然有機會取代傳統煙，所以，事實上的確有禁止加熱煙泛濫的需要。
If we consider this issue from an economic point of view there stands a chance that HTPs will eventually replace conventional cigarettes . As such it is really necessary to ban the widespread use of HTPs
所以，我一方面贊成政府今次修訂有關條例，但同時希望政府能夠向一些受影響的市民和利益集團作出交代。
Therefore on the one hand I support the Governments amendments to the relevant ordinance in this exercise; but at the same time I also hope the Government can explain the case to those members of the public and interest groups being affected
立法會其後成立了法案委員會審議《條例草案》，一共舉行了5次會議。
The Legislative Council then formed a Bills Committee to scrutinize the Bill and held a total of five meetings
我亦非常感謝法案委員會主席葛珮帆議員、法案委員會的委員、立法會秘書處和法律顧問的共同努力，令《條例草案》的審議工作得以順利完成。
I would also like to thank the Chairman Ms Elizabeth QUAT as well as members of the Bills Committee the Legislative Council Secretariat and the Legal Adviser for their concerted efforts to facilitate the smooth completion of the scrutiny of the Bill
法案委員會亦邀請了公眾提交意見書，我在此亦感謝所有提供寶貴意見的團體和人士。
The Bills Committee has invited submissions from the public and I would also like to thank all the organizations and individuals who have provided valuable opinions
社會各界包括立法會議員、醫學界、病人組織及公眾對增加本港醫生人手的期盼是一致的。
The various sectors of the community including Members of the Legislative Council the medical profession patient organizations and the public are aligned in their aspirations for increasing the number of doctors in Hong Kong
大家均了解到現時公營醫療系統醫生短缺尤其嚴重，政府和社會的共同願望是可以早日通過《條例草案》，吸引更多合資格非本地培訓醫生來港服務，紓緩公營醫療系統醫生人手不足的問題。
We all know that the problem of doctor shortage is particularly serious in the public healthcare sector . The shared wish of the Government and the community is the early passage of the Bill to attract more qualified NLTDs to serve in Hong Kong and to alleviate the shortage of doctors in the public healthcare system
首先，我想重申今次修例的背景。
First I would like to reiterate the background of this legislative amendment
多年來，本港醫生人手一直嚴重短缺。
Over the years Hong Kong has been facing severe shortage of doctors
香港目前每1,000名人口有兩名醫生，人均醫生比例遠遠落後於其他先進經濟體如新加坡、日本、美國、英國和澳洲。
In terms of per capita doctor ratio there are 2 doctors per 1 000 population in Hong Kong currently lagging far behind that in other advanced economies including Singapore Japan the United States the United Kingdom and Australia
根據食物及衞生局早前發表的《醫療人力推算2020》，醫生人手由目前到長期均會持續短缺。到2030年及2040年，分別會短缺1,610名和1,949名醫生。
According to the Healthcare Manpower Projection 2020 published by the Food and Health Bureau FHB earlier the shortage of doctors will remain in the long term with the projected shortfall of doctors reaching 1 610 and 1 949 in 2030 and 2040 respectively
公營醫療醫生短缺尤其嚴重。
The problem of doctor shortage is particularly serious in the public healthcare sector
根據《醫療人力推算2020》，醫院管理局和衞生署在2020年分別欠缺660名和49名專科醫生和準專科醫生；而在2030年及2040年的醫生短缺情況將會進一步惡化。
According to the Healthcare Manpower Projection 2020 there was a shortfall of 660 and 49 specialists and specialists to - be in the Hospital Authority HA and the Department of Health DH respectively in 2020 and the shortage of doctors will further worsen in 2030 and 2040
多年來，政府一直積極投放大量資源培育本地醫生人手，包括增加培訓學額，並提供財政支援，讓大學提升和增加醫療教學設施。
Over the past years the Government has devoted substantial resources to train local doctors including increasing training places and providing financial support for the universities to upgrade and increase their healthcare teaching facilities
兩間醫學院的醫科生學額已由2005-2006學年的每年250個增至目前的530個，增幅超過1倍；政府亦積極考慮在下一個大學教育資助委員會3年撥款期進一步增加醫科生學額。
The number of medical training places each year in the two local medical schools have been increased from 250 in the 2005 - 2006 academic year to the current 530 representing an increase of more than one - fold . The Government is also contemplating a further increase in the number of medical training places for the next triennium planning cycle of the University Grants Committee
然而，訓練醫生需時，擴張醫學院培訓容量亦有實際局限，我們不能單靠增加本地學額來解決醫生人手問題。
Nevertheless given the lead time required for training local doctors and the practical constraints in enhancing the training capacity of medical schools we cannot solely rely on increasing the number of local training places to address the manpower problem
我們有需要放眼香港以外的地方，以增加本港醫生人手。
We need to tap on non - local sources in order to increase the supply of doctors in Hong Kong
然而，自1996年起，所有非本地培訓醫生均須通過醫委會的執業資格試，並完成指明的評核期，方可在香港取得正式註冊執業。
However after 1996 all NLTDs are required to pass the Licensing Examination administered by MCHK and complete a specified period of assessment before they can be registered with full registration for practice in Hong Kong
持有非本地醫學資格的新增註冊醫生所佔比例因而大幅下降，由1991年至2000年10年間的每年平均45%降至2001年至2010年10年間的10.5%。
As a result the share of newly registered doctors with non - local medical qualifications dropped significantly from an average of 45 % for the 10 years between 1991 and 2000 to 10.5 % for the 10 years between 2001 and 2010
即使政府過去數年努力遊說放寬非本地培訓醫生在港行醫的門檻，2011年至2020年間非本地培訓醫生佔同期在港新註冊醫生的人數及比例亦只見輕微上升，遠遠不足以填補醫生人手短缺。
Even with the Governments lobbying effort to relax the threshold for NLTDs to practise in Hong Kong over the past few years the number and percentage of NLTDs among all newly registered doctors from 2011 to 2020 have only slightly increased and are far from sufficient to fill the shortfall
因此，政府認為有需要在現有的《條例》下，加入新途徑，讓更多合資格的非本地培訓醫生可以來港在公營醫療體系內執業，以擴大我們的醫生庫。
In view of this the Government considers it necessary to create a new pathway under MRO to allow more qualified NLTDs to practise in our public healthcare sector so as to increase the supply of doctors in Hong Kong
就制訂獲承認醫學資格的名單，我們建議在醫委會的架構下成立一個特別註冊委員會，成員包括衞生署署長或其代表、醫管局行政總裁或其代表、醫委會主席、醫專主席、本地兩間醫學院院長，以及由行政長官委任的不多於4名成員，當中3名為醫委會成員。
For the purpose of determining a list of recognized medical qualifications we propose establishing a Special Registration Committee SRC under MCHK comprising Director of Health DoH or hisher representative Chief Executive of HA or hisher representative Chairman of MCHK President of HKAM Deans of the two local Faculties of Medicine not more than four persons three of whom must be members of MCHK to be appointed by the Chief Executive
委員會主席將由行政長官在上述成員中委任。
The chairman of SRC will be appointed from the aforesaid members by the Chief Executive
至於上述由行政長官委任的成員，政府傾向委任醫委會內來自其他專業或病人組織的業外委員，以廣納不同角度的意見。
As for the above mentioned members appointed by the Chief Executive the Government is inclined to appoint lay members of MCHK who are from other professions or patient organizations to collect views from different perspectives
在制訂獲承認的醫學資格名單時，特別註冊委員會會考慮醫學課程的教學語言、課程內容，有關醫學院的國際排名，以及委員會認為合適的因素。
In determining the list of recognized medical qualifications SRC should take into account the medium of instruction and the curriculum of the medical programmes international rankings of the concerned medical schools and any other aspects that SRC deems appropriate
由特別註冊委員會制訂的名單會直接交予醫生註冊主任，即衞生署署長，以法律公告形式公布，以增加透明度，讓家長和學生在作升學決定前能夠掌握更多資料。
The list of recognized medical qualifications determined by SRC will be submitted to the Registrar of Medical Practitioners ie . DoH direct for promulgation by legal notice to enhance transparency so that parents and students can get more information before making decision on further studies
名單亦會每3年檢討一次。
The list will be reviewed at three - year intervals
在法案委員會討論的過程中，議員曾就多個範疇提出關注，我想藉此機會重申政府的立場。
In the course of the Bills Committees deliberations Members have raised concerns in a range of aspects and I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate the Governments stance
有為數不少的法案委員會成員認為香港醫生現時人手不足，政府不應限制申請特別註冊的人士須為香港永久性居民。
A considerable number of members of the Bills Committee are of the view that as Hong Kong is currently in shortage of doctors special registration should not be limited to HKPRs
我們起初建議的新途徑只適用於屬香港永久性居民的非本地培訓醫生，是考慮到他們的文化和語言背景，以及他們與香港的連繫，相信他們會較大機會持續在本港的醫療體系服務。
At first we proposed that the new pathway be applicable to NLTDs who are HKPRs only on consideration of their cultural and language background as well as their attachment to Hong Kong . We believe there stands a higher chance for them to serve in the healthcare system in Hong Kong for a continued period of time
然而，考慮到議員及社會的意見，我們決定從善如流。
However taking into account the views of Members and the community we have decided to accept good advice
我稍後會就此提出修正案。
I will propose an amendment to this effect later
至於醫生專業自主，有個別法案委員會成員認為這次修例損害醫生的專業自主，有違《基本法》對專業自主的保障。
As for the professional autonomy of doctors some members of the Bills Committee consider that this legislative amendment exercise will undermine the professional autonomy of doctors and violate the Basic Law that safeguards professional autonomy
事實上，代理主席，《基本法》第一百四十二條訂明："香港特別行政區政府在保留原有的專業制度的基礎上，自行制定有關評審各種專業的執業資格的辦 法。
In fact Deputy President Article 142 of the Basic Law stipulates that The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall on the basis of maintaining the previous systems concerning the professions formulate provisions on its own for assessing the qualifications for practice in the various professions
"及"香港特別行政區政府繼續承認在特別行政區成立前已承認的專業和專業團體，所承認的專業團體可自行審核和頒授專業資格。
and The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall continue to recognize the professions and the professional organizations recognized prior to the establishment of the Region and these organizations may on their own assess and confer professional qualifications
"政府透過制定或修改法律的方式來訂明醫生執業的資格的權力，與相關專業團體，即醫委會，可自行審核和頒授專業資格，兩者在《基本法》框架下，並沒有互相抵觸。
Under the Basic Law the power of the Government to determine the qualifications for practice in the medical profession through the enactment or amendment of laws is not in conflict with the authority of the relevant professional organization ie
《條例草案》不但保存醫委會作為專業團體的功能，讓其可繼續審核和頒授醫生資格及對醫生進行規管，亦保留現行的醫生註冊制度，包括執業資格試和有限度註冊。
MCHK to assess and confer professional qualifications on their own . The Bill preserves not only MCHKs status as the professional organization to assess and confer medical qualifications and to regulate the doctors but also the existing medical registration regime including such pathways as Licensing Examination and limited registration
《條例草案》只開闢特別註冊這條新途徑，藉以擴大在香港申請註冊為醫生的資格範圍。
The Bill only introduces special registration as a new pathway thereby expanding the scope of qualified persons who may apply for registration as doctors in Hong Kong
在新途徑下，非本地培訓醫生獲正式註冊前，須在香港註冊為特別註冊醫生，並在所規定的期間在指明機構服務，接受持續的在職評核。
Before being granted full registration under the new pathway NLTDs will have to be registered as doctors with special registration in Hong Kong and subject to continuous on - the - job assessment during the requisite period of service in the specified institutions
一如其他註冊醫生，將來特別註冊醫生須向醫委會註冊，亦須接受醫委會的紀律監管，以及受《條例》規管。
Same as other registered doctors doctors with special registration will be required to register under MCHK and will be subject to the disciplinary regulation of MCHK and the regulatory control of MRO
如有涉及專業失當行為的投訴，一經證明屬實，醫委會有權對有關醫生採取紀律行動。
Once complaints involving professional misconduct are found substantiated MCHK has the power to exercise disciplinary actions on the doctors concerned
《條例草案》不但不會傷害醫委會的法定地位，亦不會削弱醫委會負責本地醫生註冊和紀律事宜的法定職能。
The Bill will not compromise the statutory status of MCHK nor its statutory function in the registration and disciplinary regulation of doctors in Hong Kong
至於醫生的質素方面，政府是非常關注，有個別議員擔心在缺乏執業資格試的評核下，會影響本地醫生的質素。
The Government is very concerned about the quality of doctors . Some Members are worried that the quality of local doctors will be compromised in the absence of Licensing Examination
事實上，現時有不少國家，如新加坡及澳洲，均設有不同機制以引入非本地培訓醫生。
In fact many countries such as Singapore and Australia currently have different mechanisms to attract NLTDs
這些非本地培訓醫生在滿足一定條件後，便可在當地取得正式註冊。
Subject to certain criteria being met NLTDs will be granted full registration in the respective countries
考試並非取得正式註冊的唯一途徑。
Passing examinations is not the only way to obtain full registration
我們希望重申，《條例草案》並非旨在取締現時執業資格試的制度，而是在確保醫生質素的前提下，新增一條路徑讓合資格的非本地培訓醫生來港在公營醫療系統服務。
We must reiterate that the Bill is not intended to replace the current system of Licensing Examination but to create a new pathway for qualified NLTDs to practise in the public healthcare system in Hong Kong without compromising the quality of doctors
此外，《條例草案》只訂定新途徑的法律框架，在實際操作層面，符合基本要求的非本地培訓醫生獲公營醫療機構聘任與否，以致能否進入新途徑，當然仍須取決於公營醫療機構的甄選結果。
In addition the Bill only sets out the legal framework for the new pathway . At the practical level the appointment of NLTDs who meet the basic requirements in the public healthcare institutions and their access to the new pathway will of course depend on the results of the selection process in the public healthcare institutions
相比本地培訓醫生在完成實習後便取得正式註冊，我們對這些非本地培訓醫生的要求實在更為嚴格。
As compared with the requirements applicable to locally trained doctors who can obtain full registration after completing the internship those we propose for NLTDs are indeed more stringent
至於在職評核方面，有意見亦關注特別註冊醫生的在職評核內容及準則。
Regarding on - the - job assessment there are concerns about the content and criteria of on - the - job assessment for doctors with special registration
就在職評核而言，我們了解現時4間公營醫療機構有其既定的評核制度，亦因為4間公營醫療機構的工作性質不同，例如有臨床、教學及研究工作，故此我們難以要求4間機構統一其評核機制。
We understand that the four public healthcare institutions have established their own assessment systems . Given that the four institutions carry out work of different nature such as clinical teaching or research work it would be difficult to require them to adopt a standardized assessment system
