例如，國家醫療保障局近期集體採購逾一百萬個供冠狀動脈介入治療術使用的血管支架，每個標價13,000元人民幣的支架的購入價僅為約700元人民幣。
For instance the National Healthcare Security Administration has recently made a bulk procurement of over one million vascular stents for use in percutaneous coronary intervention PCI operations at a purchase price of around Renminbi RMB 700 only for each stent which had a marked price of RMB13,000
主席，就蔣麗芸議員質詢的各部分，經諮詢醫院管理局，我的答覆如下： 政府的公共醫療政策是確保市民不會因經濟原因而得不到適當的醫療服務。
President in consultation with the Hospital Authority HA I provide a reply to the various parts of the question raised by Dr CHIANG Lai - wan as follows It is the Governments public healthcare policy to ensure that no one is denied adequate medical treatment due to lack of means
作為本港公營醫療服務的主要提供者，醫管局會按病人的臨床需要和根據醫管局的治療指引，向病人提供獲高額資助的醫療服務及藥物或醫療項目。
As the major provider of public healthcare services in Hong Kong HA provides patients with medical services and drugs as well as medical items at highly subsidized rates based on their clinical needs and in accordance with its treatment guidelines
經濟上有困難的病人可透過由撒瑪利亞基金和關愛基金醫療援助項目組成的安全網獲得經濟援助，以資助其購買"自資購買醫療項目"或藥物名冊內的指定自費藥物的醫療開支。
Financial assistance is provided through the safety net which is composed of the Samaritan Fund and Community Care Fund Medical Assistance Programmes to subsidize the medical expenses of patients who have financial difficulties in purchasing Privately Purchased Medical Items and self - financed drugs listed on HAs Drug Formulary at their own costs
醫管局亦會不時與藥商進行磋商，就個別昂貴藥物訂立風險分擔計劃，以期為相關病人提供長遠可持續、可負擔和適切的藥物治療。
HA also holds discussions with pharmaceutical companies from time to time on setting up patient access programmes for specific expensive drug treatments to provide patients with sustainable affordable and optimal drug treatments in the long term
醫管局所採取的採購政策，旨在確保有效率的運作及秉持公平及具問責性的原則，並引入市場競爭和達致規模經濟效益，通過合適的招標或報價程序，購得物有所值的藥劑製品及醫療耗材。
The objective of HAs procurement policy is to ensure operational efficiency fairness and accountability while introducing market competition and achieving economies of scale so as to obtain pharmaceutical products and medical consumables at the best value - for - money through appropriate tendering or quotation processes
具體而言，醫管局有既定機制及程序審批藥劑製品及醫療耗材的採購。有關採購是按照《醫管局採購及物料管理手冊》的規定進行，手冊參考政府的《物料供應及採購規例》而訂定。
Specifically the procurement of pharmaceutical products and medical consumables is governed by the mechanisms and procedures set out in the Hospital Authority Procurement and Materials Management Manual which was formulated with reference to the Stores and Procurement Regulations of the Government
同時，醫管局亦會遵守《世界貿易組織政府採購協定》內相關的條例及國際監管機構對藥劑製品的要求等。
Such procurements are also in compliance with the relevant provisions of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement as well as the international regulatory requirements for pharmaceutical products etc
在進行採購時，相關專科的專家會考慮藥劑製品或醫療耗材的質素、安全性、療效、成本效益及臨床應用經驗等因素，以配合醫療運作需要。
When procuring pharmaceutical products or medical consumables experts from relevant specialties will consider various factors such as quality safety efficacy cost - effectiveness and experience from the clinical application of the product to ensure that they meet the operational needs
一 就採購癌症藥物而言，鑒於藥物價格屬商業敏感資料，為避免影響藥物採購的公平性，醫管局不會披露購買藥物的 單位價格。
1 Regarding the procurement of cancer drugs given the commercial sensitivity of drug price information and in order not to prejudice fair competition in the procurement process HA will not disclose the unit prices of the drugs procured
醫管局亦不知悉本地和海外市場或私人診所的藥物採購價格，故無法提供相關價格比較資料。
HA is also unable to provide relevant price comparisons as it does not have information about the prices of drugs in the local and overseas markets or those purchased by private clinics
在一般比較不同國家/地區的藥物價格以評估為病人提供的可持續和可負擔治療安排時，亦需要考慮其他重要因素，例如當地的醫療政策和藥物資助機制、不同的治療方案等。
While drawing a general comparison of drug prices in different countriesregions for the purpose of assessing the provision of sustainable and affordable medical treatment for patients it is necessary to consider other important factors such as local healthcare policy and drug subsidy mechanism as well as various treatment options
醫生會根據病人臨床情況，建議為病人置入適合的支架種類及型號。
Clinicians will advise on the types and models of coronary stents to be used for individual patients having regard to their clinical situations
三 就與內地就藥品及高值醫用耗材採購的合作方面，現時香港與內地的法制及醫療體系有別，藥物進出口的制度亦並非一致，因此須考慮多方面的因素。
3 As the legal and healthcare systems as well as import and export mechanisms of drugs are different in Hong Kong and the Mainland collaboration with the Mainland in the procurement of drugs and high - value medical consumables involves considerations on various aspects
醫管局樂意繼續與不同持份者保持溝通並借鑒經驗，審慎考慮不同因素以探討有關建議。
HA stays open and maintains communications with different stakeholders and learn from their experience and will carefully consider various factors to explore the feasibility of collaboration
此外，為便利港人在粵港澳大灣區內得到適切治療並促進醫藥企業到大灣區內地城市發展，特區政府會盡快經廣東省審批後先行落實在香港大學深圳醫院試行使用臨床急需、已在本港上市的藥物，以及臨床急需、本港公立醫院已採購使用、具有臨床應用先進性的醫療儀器；並適時延伸政策至更多指定醫療機構、藥物及醫療儀器。
To facilitate Hong Kong residents to seek suitable healthcare services in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area and attract medical and pharmaceutical enterprises to expand businesses in the Mainland cities of the Greater Bay Area the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government will implement as soon as possible the measure of using Hong Kong - registered drugs with urgent clinical use and medical devices used in Hong Kong public hospitals with urgent clinical use and advanced clinical applications at the University of Hong Kong - Shenzhen Hospital HKU - SZH on a trial basis subject to the approval of the Guangdong Province and extend the policy to cover more designated healthcare institutions drugs and medical devices in a timely manner
我們相信有關措施不但有助吸引本地和跨國藥企、生物製藥和醫療科技公司以香港為基地申請新藥註冊，而且能夠提升區內醫療服務的水平。
We believe that the new measure will not only help attract local and multinational pharmaceutical biomedical and medical technology companies to apply for registration of new pharmaceutical products in Hong Kong but also improve the level of healthcare services in the Greater Bay Area
據我所知，內地的採購價只是我們的採購價的10%，甚至更低。
According to my understanding the procurement price of the Mainland is merely 10 % of our procurement price or even lower
我們每年支付那麼多錢，假如我們能夠節省一些這方面的開支，便很可能可以節省差不多100億元，為甚麼我們不去思考這個問題呢？
As we spend so much money every year we can probably save almost 10 billion if we can save some of the expenditure in this area . Why do we not give it some thought?
所以，我想問局長，現時香港市民可以在港大深圳醫院求醫和取得藥物，如果港大深圳醫院日後可以向內地購買藥物，香港的病人能否繼續在深圳取得藥物呢？
Therefore may I ask the Secretary given that Hong Kong people can now seek medical treatment and obtain drugs at HKU - SZH whether Hong Kong patients can continue to obtain drugs in Shenzhen if HKU - SZH can procure drugs from the Mainland in the future?
局長在主體答覆中以一句"商業敏感資料"，便掩飾了她的"三無"答覆，即是無資料、無對策、無解釋。
The Secretary made use of the phrase commercial sensitivity in her main reply to cover up her three - nil response that is no information no countermeasures and no explanation
這令人覺得政府是否在包庇或偏袒一些藥廠和中介代理的既得利益，令醫管局和市民均要負擔昂貴的藥費。
This makes people wonder if the Government is harbouring or favouring the vested interests of some pharmaceutical companies and intermediary agents such that both HA and members of the public have to bear the exorbitant expenditure on drugs
主席，說到經濟效益，以局長剛才在主體答覆中提及的通波仔手術支架為例，醫管局每年採購約15000個支架，若以一般價格每個14,000元計算，需要2億1,000萬元。
President speaking of cost - effectiveness we can take the coronary stents used in PCI operations mentioned by the Secretary in her main reply just now as an example . HA procures about 15 000 coronary stents every year incurring an expenditure of 210 million if calculated at the normal price of 14,000 each
在本港疫情持續多月仍未受控下，不少市民表示寧願忍受"禁足令"和全民強制檢測帶來的短暫不便，以換取感染個案早日"清零"。
As the epidemic has persisted for months in Hong Kong and has not yet been brought under control quite a number of members of the public have indicated that they would rather put up with the temporary inconvenience that may be caused to them by a lockdown and population - wide compulsory testing in return for achieving zero infection case as early as possible
第三，對香港市民亦不好，因為他們原本想到公園逛逛，但那裏人山人海，而在假日時，整條遮打道擠滿外傭，有人稱這街道為"菲傭街"或"外傭街"，當局需要進行協調工作。
Thirdly it is not good to the people of Hong Kong either since they originally wish to take a walk in the park but it is crowded with people and during public holidays the whole Chater Road is packed with FDHs . Some people call this the Street of Filipino Domestic Helpers or the FDH Street . The authorities need to do coordination work
但是，香港有法律框架強制一些群組進行檢測。
However a legal framework is in place in Hong Kong mandating certain groups to undergo testing
我最近接觸過一些聘有外傭的家庭，特別是由外傭照顧長者的家庭，長者不外出，但外傭在假日仍然會外出。
Recently I have had contact with families hiring FDHs especially those families in which the elderly are looked after by FDHs . The elderly would not go out but FDHs would do so on their rest days
香港有這樣的能力，亦有法律框架，可否加強檢測呢？
Hong Kong has both the capacity and the legal framework . Can testing be enhanced?
局長的說法似乎是一些極需要管制的群組才會處理，這說法亦無可厚非，不過，外傭作為服務香港數十萬個家庭的群組，感到最擔心的當然是被照顧的一群，如果我有聘請外傭，我也會擔心他在放假時從其他群組受到感染，那麼我全家人都會被他連累。
Such a remark is not totally unjustifiable . However as FDHs are a group serving hundreds of thousands of families in Hong Kong those under their care are of course most worried . If I have hired FDH I would also worry that he might be infected by other groups of people on his rest days and then my whole family would be affected by him
因此，我想問局長，對於這200多宗個案涉及的家庭，僱主獲提供甚麼照顧呢？
For this reason may I ask the Secretary what care services have been provided to the employers in the families involved in these 200 - odd cases?
代理主席，要限制外傭放假，局長表示不符合法、理、情，強制檢測又說不可行。
Deputy President in respect of restricting FDHs on rest days the Secretary said it is not in line with the law justification and sense . In respect of compulsory testing he said it is not feasible
我想問局長，他是否"佛系"？
I wish to ask the Secretary whether he is Buddha - like
他如何"佛系"抗疫？
How can he fight the epidemic in a Buddha - like manner?
如何確保外傭不會有群組爆發？
How can he ensure that there will not be any outbreak in FDH groups?
第一次及第二次整體運輸研究為香港的運輸政策定下三大原則：i改善運輸基礎設施；擴展及改善公共交通服務；及管理道路的使用。
The first and the second CTSs set out three principles for our transport policy i improving transport infrastructure; ii expanding and improving public transport services; and iii managing road use
建基於上述原則，政府完成第三次整體運輸研究，並定下5個大方向，包括i更妥善融合運輸與土地用途規劃；更充分運用鐵路，讓鐵路成為客運系統的骨幹；提供更完善的公共交通服務和設施；更廣泛運用新科技來管理交通；以及v制訂更環保的運輸措施。
Based on these principles the Government completed the third CTS . The third CTS also laid down five broad directions including i better integration of transport and land use planning ii better use of railway as the backbone of the passenger transport system iii provision of better public transport services and facilities iv wider use of advanced technologies in traffic management and v implementation of more environmental - friendly transport measures
這些大方向至今依然適用。
These broad directions remain applicable today
以上針對不同運輸課題的研究基本上已達至整體運輸研究的效用，同時能透過分階段投放資源，有序地完成各項研究工作，讓各項研究結果可早日出台。
The above studies on different transport topics can basically serve the purpose of a CTS . Moreover we can have early promulgation of the findings of each study through progressive deployment of resources and completion of the studies in an orderly manner
此外，政府在"明日大嶼願景"下計劃推展全新的主幹道及鐵路，亦有助紓緩現時西鐵綫和新界西北前往香港島主要道路繁忙時段的擠迫情況。
Moreover the Government plans to implement new major roads and railways under the Lantau Tomorrow Vision which will also relieve the current congestion situation at peak hours at West Rail and major roads linking Northwest New Territories and Hong Kong Island
長遠而言，我們已展開《跨越2030年的鐵路及主要幹道策略性研究》，探討鐵路及主要幹道基建的布局，讓大型運輸基建的規劃能配合甚或預留容量以滿足香港整體長遠土地發展的需要。
In the long term we commenced the Strategic Studies on Railways and Major Roads beyond 2030 to investigate the layout of railway and major roads infrastructures such that the planning of large scale transport infrastructures can facilitate or even reserve capacity to satisfy Hong Kongs overall long - term demand on land supply
政府會因應地區發展、人口變遷、運輸建設的落成、區內現有公共交通服務的運作和服務水平等，持續優化地區的公共交通服務網絡。
The Government will continuously enhance the public transport networks in the districts to meet passenger demands having regard to the local developments demographic changes completion of transport facilities and the operation and service levels of the existing public transport services in the districts etc
在推展土地或房屋發展項目時，相關部門或發展商需要進行相關交通影響評估，以適當調整發展規模，或實施交通改善及紓緩措施，保持區內道路暢通。
In taking forward landhousing development projects the relevant departments or developers should conduct a traffic impact assessment TIA to suitably adjust the scale of development or implement suitable traffic improvement and mitigation measures to maintain smooth traffic flow in the district
三 目前，運輸署正制訂《交通運輸策略性研究》的範圍及具體安排，並籌備進行全港性的交通習慣調查，以期在2024年使用調查所得的資料提升整體運輸研究模型，並透過新的資料及模型完成《交通運輸策略性研究》中的其餘部分工作，制訂未來交通運輸政策。
3 At present the Transport Department TD is formulating the scope and the detailed arrangements for the traffic and transport strategy study TTSS and is planning to conduct a travel characteristics survey in order to enhance CTS Model in 2024 based on the data collected from the survey; and makes use of the new information and models to complete the remaining sections of TTSS so as to formulate the blueprint on future traffic and transport policies
《交通運輸策略性研究》會參考和引進合適的創新交通模式和技術，推動綠色運輸，減少廢氣排放，令香港成為更宜居城市。
TTSS will make reference to and introduce suitable innovative transport models and technology to promote green transport and reduce emission making Hong Kong a more livable city
另外，亦會探討提升公共運輸服務，鼓勵市民使用公共運輸，以紓緩交通擠塞的情況。
Besides it will also explore the enhancement of public transport services and encourage the public to use public transport thereby relieving the traffic congestion situation in urban areas
我們目標是制訂具前瞻性的長遠交通運輸策略，確保香港將來能維持一個安全可靠、環保高效的交通運輸系統，既可滿足市民在經濟、社會和休閒方面的需要，亦可支持香港的可持續發展，以及促進大灣區內的人流和物流。
Our goal is to set out a forward - looking long - term traffic and transport strategies for ensuring that Hong Kong can maintain a safe reliable environmentally friendly and efficient traffic and transport system in the future . This can not only satisfy the publics needs in terms of economy social and leisure but also support the sustainable development of Hong Kong and facilitate the flow of people and goods in the Greater Bay Area
當我們敲定全盤計劃後，會向立法會交代詳情。
Once the thorough plan is finalized we will report the details to the Legislative Council
局長在主體答覆第三部分提到，運輸署正制訂《交通運輸策略性研究》的範圍及具體安排，但沒有提到會否諮詢相關業界。
As indicated by the Secretary in part 3 of the main reply TD is formulating the scope and the detailed arrangements for the traffic and transport strategy study . However he has failed to mention whether the relevant sector will be consulted
我想提醒局長，顧問研究和建議有時未必絕對正確，我不知道局長是否記得，在有關泊車位的研究中，顧問指的士不需要泊車位。
I would like to remind the Secretary that sometimes consultancy studies and recommendations may not be absolutely correct . I wonder whether the Secretary still remembers that in a study on parking spaces the consultant pointed out that taxis did not need parking spaces
以前的確如此，但今時今日世界變了，現時夜更的士很多都工作不足，沒有生意，所以需要泊車位。
This might be the case in the past but the world has changed these days . Given a drop of patronage or business nowadays many night - shift taxis need parking spaces
因此，我想問局長，在政府落實最終的研究範圍之前，會否與交通運輸業界的朋友會面，了解他們目前的營運狀況、他們有何訴求，然後才落實研究方案呢？
As such may I ask the Secretary whether the Government will meet with members of the transport sector to find out their current operating conditions and aspirations before finalizing the proposed study?
直至去年的施政報告，政府才願意承諾進行剛才局長談及的《交通運輸策略性研究》。
The Secretary has just offered an explanation in this regard . Only in the Policy Address last year did the Government undertake to conduct the traffic and transport strategy study mentioned by the Secretary just now
我想在此跟進一下主體質詢。
I would like to follow up the main question here
正如剛才易議員也提及，政府正制訂《交通運輸策略性研究》的範圍和具體安排，我想了解一下，這項研究與其他正進行的研究例如剛才陳議員說的"斬件式"或我們認為是"斷截禾蟲式"交通運輸研究有何關係？
As indicated by Mr YICK just now the Government is formulating the scope and the detailed arrangements for the traffic and transport strategy study . May I know the relationship between this study and other studies that are being undertaken such as traffic and transport studies which Mr CHAN has just referred to as piecemeal or we consider patchy?
例如，立法會最近已批出撥款，進行《跨越2030年的鐵路及主要幹道策略性研究》，如果研究結果有衝突，又如何處理呢？
For example the Legislative Council has recently approved the funding for conducting the Strategic Studies on Railway and Major Roads beyond 2030 . How should we deal with the conflicting findings if any of these studies?
從宏觀角度來看，中部水域人工島相關研究主要考慮中部水域填海後，當地內部交通情況，以至中部水域與香港其他地區的交通網絡。
From a macro perspective the studies related to artificial islands in the central waters mainly concern following the completion of reclamation in the central waters local traffic conditions there and the transport network connecting the central waters and other areas of Hong Kong
所以，3項 研究會有一個覆蓋面，而該覆蓋面是必須的。
Therefore there is naturally a scope which the three studies cover and such a coverage is necessary
主席，回應謝議員的問題，我們會非常留意3個項目的內容，亦確認3個項目的目標和焦點各有不同。
President in response to Mr TSEs question we will pay attention to the contents of the three studies and we also confirm that they have different objectives focuses
主席，交通運輸發展一直以來給市民的感覺是，頭痛醫頭，腳痛醫腳。
President as far as transport development is concerned people have long had the impression that the Government only introduces stop - gap measures
不過，我必須說的是，屯門─赤鱲角隧道啟用當天，有很多市民非常熱衷親身體驗這條隧道，以致當天大嶼山的車流量超越預期差不多一倍，這是一個特殊情況。
For this reason people often have the impression that a road runs out of capacity soon after its commissioning . In the case of the Tuen Mun - Chek Lap Kok Link for example the construction of the Tuen Mun - Chek Lap Kok Link Northern Connection was completed two years later than planned
議員議案。
Members motion
代理主席，首先，我想藉此機會感謝在抗疫工作上出力的朋友，他們走在最前線，辛苦了。
Deputy President first of all I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the people who have contributed to the fight against the epidemic . They are at the frontline and have worked hard
對於局長剛才近千字的主體答覆，我完全未能感受到她有精準地回應我的質詢，她更沒有提出具體方案改善現時九龍東成為重災區的情況，達到"清零"，我對此表示失望。
Regarding the lengthy main reply which contains nearly 1 000 words made by the Secretary just now I cannot feel that she has responded precisely to my question in any way . She has not put forth any specific proposals to alleviate the disastrous situation in Kowloon East with a view to achieving zero infection . I am disappointed about this
局長，政府委任專家對渠管進行研究，結果發現渠管是其中一個播毒源頭。
Secretary the Government has appointed experts to conduct studies on drainage pipes and found that drainage pipes are one of the sources of spreading the virus
局長，請看看這張相片，這相片顯示我一直在地區跟進各項處理渠管滲漏的工作，得出的結果是跟進慢、手工差、維修後仍然滲漏。
Secretary please take a look at this photo . It shows that I have been keeping track of the work to address drainage pipe seepage in the district . Evidently the follow - up work progresses slowly the workmanship is poor and there is still seepage after repairs
市民人心惶惶，提心吊膽，但政府則"龜速"應對，束手無策。
Members of the public are on tenterhooks and fears yet the Government is reacting at a snails pace unable to do anything about it
房屋署展開的排水管檢查計劃則需時18個月，最快要今年3月底才完成，這是最快的情況。
The Drainage Inspection Programme of HD will take 18 months and will only be completed by the end of March at the earliest . This is the fastest scenario . Secretary put yourself in their shoes
局長，我希望你給我答覆，如果渠管跟進的工作仍然這般疏漏，我相信市民是無法接受的，你可否答應加強人手，加強資源，盡快在今年3月或之前，最好是在農曆新年前完成檢測，做好維修？
Secretary I hope you will give me a reply . If the follow - up work on drainage pipes is still fraught with problems I think the public will consider this unacceptable . Will you undertake to increase manpower and resources so that the inspection and repair work can be completed expeditiously on or before March this year preferably before the Lunar New Year?
內地在年月發表了一份防疫白皮書，當中強調"四早""早"是快的意思有相當明確的時限規範。
In June 2020 the Mainland published a white paper on epidemic prevention in which the Four Earlys have been highlighted―early means quickly―with a considerably specific time frame
主席，我很感謝張華峰議員、易志明議員、容海恩議員、葛珮帆議員、梁美芬議員、柯創盛議員、鄭泳舜議員、鄭松泰議員、陳健波議員及李慧琼議員10位議員的發言。
President I am very grateful to the 10 Members who have spoken namely Mr Christopher CHEUNG Mr Frankie YICK Ms YUNG Hoi - yan Ms Elizabeth QUAT Dr Priscilla LEUNG Mr Wilson OR Mr Vincent CHENG Dr CHENG Chung - tai Mr CHAN Kin - por and Ms Starry LEE
今天亦有議員指出，數年前我亦曾提出這個方案，為何現在又再次提出。
Today some Members queried why I put forward this proposal again as I had already done so a few years ago
原因無他，因為我在研究多年後，依然深信這是一個好方案，而且今天只是促請政府研究和考慮這個方案的可行性。
There is one single reason . After years of study I am still convinced that this is a good proposal and today I am only urging the Government to study and consider the feasibility of this proposal
大家也知道，有時一個方案需時甚久，故此我們及早提出，希望政府可以盡早展開研究。
As we all know sometimes a proposal takes long time before implementation . So we want to put it forward as early as possible so that the Government can expeditiously commence the relevant study
最後，我只想懇請各位議員能夠支持我的議案。
Last but not least I would like to implore Members to support my motion
議員就附屬法例提出的議案。
Members motion on subsidiary legislation
根據《釋義及通則條例》動議擬議決議案，以延展於2021年4月28日提交本會省覽的兩項根據《預防及控制疾病條例》訂立的附屬法例的修訂期限。
Proposed resolution under the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance to extend the period for amending two items of subsidiary legislation made under the Prevention and Control of Disease Ordinance which were laid on the table of this Council on 28 April 2021
我現在請蔣麗芸議員動議議案。
I now call upon Dr CHIANG Lai - wan to move the motion
主席，蔣麗芸議員今天提出的議案，是她多年來一直堅持希望政府能夠落實的政策，我非常感激她鍥而不捨地提出這項議案，令社會明白投資我們的下一代便等於投資我們的未來，蔣議員背後堅持的理念值得大家支持。
President the motion proposed by Dr CHIANG Lai - wan today is a policy which she has insisted for years that the Government should implement . I really appreciate her persistence in proposing this motion which enables the community to understand that investing in our next generation is equivalent to investing in our future . The underlying idea which Dr CHIANG holds fast to is worthy of our support
作為金融服務界代表，我對理財有少許認識，我非常認同理財第一步是由儲蓄做起，建立"新生代基金"的確可以為新生代儲蓄。
The original intention is very good . As a representative of the financial services sector I have some knowledge of money management . I agree very much that keeping savings is the first step to money management and the setting up of the New Generation Fund can really keep savings for the new generation
不過，他們到了18歲成年後，是否因有這筆錢而可以向上游呢？
However after they reach adulthood at the age of 18 can they move upwards with this sum of money?
另一方面，蔣麗芸議員也考慮周詳，希望低收入階層不需要供款，由政府負責供款。
On the other hand Dr CHIANG Lai - wan has also given careful consideration and sought to save people of the low - income class from the need to make the contributions by requiring the Government to make the contributions instead
但是，如何劃低下階層這條線也是疑問。
However it is doubtful as to how to draw a line on the low - income class
在這環境下，我們必須從長計議。
Under such circumstances we must give the matter further thoughts and hold further discussions
主席，我想指出，在這世界上最佳的投資，莫過於投資自己，讓自己變得更有學識、更有學問，這才能真正讓低收入的一群脫貧，因為知識能夠改變人的命運。
President I wish to point out that there is no investment in the world which is better than the investment in oneself making oneself more knowledgeable and educated . Only in this way can the low - income group be genuinely lifted out of poverty because knowledge can change ones fate
父母也有責任教導孩子儲蓄的重要性，讓他們出來社會工作後，擁有良好的儲蓄理財習慣。
Parents are also duty - bound to teach their children the importance of savings so that they will have good money management and savings habit after they start to work in society
我重申，蔣麗芸議員提出的議案是就現時的福利政策，提出一個補漏拾遺的方向，非常值得政府探討如何落實，例如將"新生代基金"轉為助學基金，讓孩子將基金用於自我增值，如用於升讀大學、修讀碩士課程等，這才能為香港和國家培養更多人才。
I reiterate that the motion proposed by Dr CHIANG Lai - wan has suggested a direction for plugging gaps in the existing welfare policy . It is very worthwhile for the Government to examine how it will be implemented . For instance the New Generation Fund may be turned into education fund allowing children to use the fund for self - enhancement such as studying in universities studying masters degree programmes etc
