主席，我想說的最後一點，就是我很擔心現時《逃犯條例》的修訂，會嚴重影響香港的營商環境。
President the last point I would like to make is that I am deeply worried that the proposed amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance will have a serious impact on Hong Kongs business environment
不少外國商會已先後發表聲明，本地傳媒和商人亦表示擔憂。
A number of foreign chambers of commerce have issued statements one after another and the local media and businessmen have also expressed their concern
政府如果"霸王硬上弓"，令香港的營商環境不斷惡化，香港的法治和人權狀況不斷倒退，香港便將會失去我們唯一的競爭優勢就是香港的法治。
If the Government bulldozes the amendments through Hong Kongs business environment will continue to worsen and Hong Kongs rule of law and human right conditions will continue to move backwards . Hong Kong will lose its only competitive edge namely its rule of law
主席，在財政司司長公布的財政預算案中，醫療開支增加了......
President in the Budget announced by the Financial Secretary health care expenditures have increased
政府對公營醫療作出承擔實在責無旁貸。
The Government is duty - bound to assume responsibilities for public health care
我曾經撰文講述，政府與醫院管理局欠缺前瞻性的規劃意識，也沒有因應人口增長增加醫療資源。
I have pointed out in my article that the Government and the Hospital Authority HA lacked a sense of forward - looking planning and it failed to increase health care resources in response to population growth . Let me cite hospital beds as an example
以病床為例，根據政府統計處《香港統計年刊》，在2003年SARS發生前，公營醫院共有29,539張病床其實當年已不足以應付需求，我們當年也要增加病床和帆布床在SARS發生後的5年間，累計減少了2,667張病床，原因相信是為了預防感染，增加病床之間的距離和改建隔離病房等。
According to The Hong Kong Annual Digest of Statistics of the Census and Statistics Department CSD before the SARS outbreak in 2003 there were 29 539 beds in public hospitals . The number of beds was in fact insufficient to meet the demand at that time additional beds and canvas beds were also needed . Within five years after the SARS outbreak there was a cumulative reduction of 2 667 beds for the purported reasons of preventing infection allowing a greater space between beds and setting up isolation wards etc
直至2017年，只是回升至28,335張病床，仍未回復到當年的水平，其間人口卻增加了66萬，人口亦老化，病房不爆滿才怪。
The number of beds only increased to 28 335 in 2017 but it was still lower than the previous level . During the interim period the population was ageing and increased by 660 000 hence it is not surprising that wards are packed with patients
我找到30年前的年刊，發覺病床數目真的減少了，但其間醫生人數由3,800名增至6,072名，增幅超過50%，護士也增加了37%。
It revealed that the number of beds has really decreased but the number of doctors has increased from 3 800 to 6 072 during the period an increase of more than 50 % and the number of nurses has increased by 37 %
每年流感高峰期病房爆滿，前線醫護人員疲於奔命的苦況，都成為新聞焦點。
The wards are full during the annual influenza surge and frontline health care personnel are tired out . This situation has become the focus of news
今年更有公營醫護團體先後舉行申訴大會，公開表達不滿，繼而醫生也警告，如果當局不加以理會，將會爆發醫療安全問題。
This year public health care groups have held grievance rallies to publicly express their discontents . Doctors also warned that if the authorities did not pay more attention health care safety would be jeopardized
如果再不糾正人手編制和資源錯配問題，將會嚴重影響同事的臨床工作及服務質素。
If the problems of staffing establishment and resource mismatch were not rectified the clinical work and service quality of health care personnel would be affected
然而，政府只是解決提出問題的人，而非解決問題。
However the Government has not dealt with the problems but has only dealt with those who raised the problems
我想引述去年9月發表的彭博醫療效率指數，香港得分最高排名第一，而且是連續數年排名第一。
I would like to quote the Bloomberg Healthcare Efficiency Index published last September . Hong Kong had the highest scores and ranked first for a few consecutive years
這指數是計算人均壽命及人均醫療支出佔生產總值的百分比，以及人均醫療實際支出。
This index calculates an efficiency score based on the average life expectancy and average health care expenditures as a percentage to gross domestic product and the average actual health care expenditure
總之，人均壽命越長，醫療開支越低，得分便越高，而得分越高表示越有效率。
In short the longer the average life expectancy and the lower the health care expenditures the higher the score and a higher score means higher efficiency
香港人均壽命全球最長，或多或少與醫療質素有關，而香港大部分長者依賴公營醫療，公立醫院亦提供全港九成的住院服務。
Hong Kong has the longest average life expectancy in the world which is somehow related to the quality of health care services . Moreover the majority of the elderly in Hong Kong rely on public health care services and public hospitals provide 90 % of inpatient services in Hong Kong
用一個比較通俗的比喻，香港公營醫療其實是以"庶渣"價錢，提供燒鵝味道的服務。
Let me use a colloquial analogy to describe public health care services in Hong Kong and that is the public get a roast goose by paying the price of sugar cane fibre
另一方面，病房爆滿，病人輪候時間長，病人得不到適切照顧。
On the other hand owing to the overcrowding wards and long waiting time patients cannot get proper care
我們都知道有這些問題，但醫療效率指數未能反映有關的情況。
We are aware of these problems but the health care efficiency index fails to reflect the relevant situation
前線醫護人員在壓力下瀕臨崩潰，他們表示公營醫療不可繼續這樣下去，既要快又要好，還要便宜，他們真的做不到。
Frontline health care personnel are so stressful that they are on the verge of collapse . They point out that the present situation cannot sustain ie . public health care services cannot be provided continuously in a fast efficient and economical manner
所以，我們提出問題，但政府不是解決問題，而是解決提出問題的人。
They really think that the situation cannot sustain . Therefore we raised the problems but the Government has not dealt with the problems but has only dealt with those who raised the problems
前線醫護人員的不滿聲音加上社會輿論，令政府知道要做些事。
In the face of the discontents of frontline health care personnel and public opinions the Government realized that it has to do something
行政長官繼去年後再一次性撥出5億元給醫管局應對流感高峰期。
Following the grant last year the Chief Executive once again made a one - off grant of 500 million to the Hospital Authority HA to cope with the influenza surge
今年的預算案更額外增加醫管局的經常撥款，以提高醫護士氣及挽留人才。
In this years Budget additional recurrent funding is provided to HA to boost the morale of health care personnel and retain talents
財政司司長在預算案責成醫管局必須妥善規劃和管理公立醫院服務，採取及時有效的措施，應對流感高峰及其他可能出現的公共衞生挑戰。
In the Budget the Financial Secretary has instructed HA to properly plan and manage public hospital services and take timely and effective measures to cope with influenza surge and other possible public health challenges
我很期待政府與醫管局顯示改革醫管局的決心。
I am looking forward to seeing the determination of the Government and HA in reforming HA
除了增加撥款外，政府會預留100億元設立公營醫療撥款穩定基金，以備醫管局面對突發情況需要額外開支的不時之需。
Apart from increasing funding 10 billion is earmarked for establishing the public health care stabilization fund to prepare for any additional expenditure which might be incurred by HA in case of unexpected circumstance
我想講述這建議的由來，以及我們期望如何運用這筆款項。
I would like to tell the story behind this proposal and our expectation on how the funding will be used . As we all know in respect of financial management the Government has been keeping expenditures within the limits of revenues and spending within its means
眾所周知，政府理財一向量入為出，"睇餸食飯"，醫療撥款的金額是視乎政府庫房的盈餘而非需求而定。
The amount of health care funding is determined by the Governments fiscal surplus rather than the demand
根據庫務署提供的數據，政府在回歸後自2003-2004年度起，連續5年向醫管局提供的經常撥款都較2002-2003年度減少，直至2008-2009年度才重新超越2002-2003年度的水平。
According to the data provided by the Treasury for five consecutive years since 2003 - 2004 after the reunification the recurrent funds provided by the Government to HA were lower than that provided in 2002 - 2003 and the funding level in 2002 - 2003 was only exceeded again in 2008 - 2009
當年因為亞洲金融風暴、科網爆破，經濟轉壞等問題，因此政府在2001年至2004年出現財政赤字，2003-2004年度財政儲備只能應付政府13個月開支。
Owing to the Asian financial turmoil the burst of the dotcom bubble and the economic downturn at that time the Government had fiscal deficits from 2001 to 2004 and the fiscal reserves in 2003 - 2004 could only meet government expenditures for 13 months
為求盡快達至收支平衡，政府削減多項公共開支，包括醫療開支。
In order to achieve a balanced budget as soon as possible the Government cut a number of public expenditures including health care expenditures
如果當時政府成立一個100億元的醫療撥款穩定基金，該5年的醫管局撥款 最少可以維持在2002-2003年度的294億元水平，甚至因應需求增長而增加撥款，醫管局便不會因資助減少而出現剛才所說的"肥雞餐"和關閉護士學校的情況，從而影響服務。
If the Government had set up a 10 billion public health care stabilization fund at that time HA funding for these five years could at least have been maintained at the 2002 - 2003 level of 29.4 billion . Funding could even be increased in response to the increase in demand so HA would not have to introduce voluntary retirement packages and close nursing schools due to reduced funding which affected services
有見及此，我在2017年9月18日致函財政司司長，建議成立公共醫療撥款穩定基金，而袁國勇教授及龍振邦醫生亦在2018年2月12日向財政司司長建議，一次性撥款500億元予醫管局作為種子基金，以年息約5%計算，並把基金利息靈活運用，但2018年預算案沒有採納我們的意見。
For this reason I wrote to the Financial Secretary on 18 September 2017 to propose the establishment of a public health care stabilization fund . Prof YUEN Kwok - yung and Dr David LUNG also suggested to the Financial Secretary on 12 February 2018 the provision of a lump sum grant of 50 billion to HA as seed money . At an annual interest rate of about 5 % the fund interests should be flexibly used
最終今年的預算案採納了我們的意見。
Finally the Budget this year adopts our views
財政司司長在公布預算案時指出，經濟前景不明朗，外圍因素惡化，預期政府收入未必如過去數年般理想。
When the Financial Secretary announced the Budget he pointed out that with uncertain economic outlook and adverse external factors it was expected that government revenues might not be as promising as that in the past few years
坦白說，我期望醫管局最好不要動用這筆錢，政府能夠持續穩定地承擔公營醫療開支。
To be frank I hope that HA will not have to use the money and the Government will continue to steadily undertake public health care expenditures
長遠來說，公共醫療經常撥款一定要保持穩定。
In the long run the recurrent funding for public health care must remain stable for the health care sector attaches great importance to stability
醫護界是最講求穩定的一個行業，無需很大的增長，但應該採取以人口為基礎的撥款模式，這樣做更能切合市民需要。
It does not require substantial increase but the mode of funding must be population - based so as to better meet the needs of the public
有人建議用基金來發展基層醫療或其他新服務，但我不敢苟同。
Some people have suggested using funds for the development of primary health care or other new services but I dare not agree
今年的預算案亦額外預留50億元，加快添置醫療設備及引進尖端儀器，以及提供培訓，這有助提高效率及醫療成效。
The Budget this year has also earmarked an additional 5 billion for HA to expedite the work in acquiring medical equipment and introducing advanced medical devices as well as providing relevant training . This will be conducive to improving efficiency and medical outcome
我亦歡迎向關愛基金和撒瑪利亞基金額外注資，支援不常見疾病，包括罕見疾病和末期癌證病人，紓緩病人因長期使用極度昂貴的藥物及支付昂貴診斷檢查費用的財政壓力。
I also welcome the provision of additional funding to the Community Care Fund and the Samaritan Fund to support patients with uncommon disorders including patients with rare diseases and terminal cancer so as to relieve the financial pressure on patients from the extended use of extremely expensive drugs and meeting the high diagnostic and examination expenses
不過，我希望政府積極考慮張超雄議員的建議，制訂政策支持罕見病患者，因為他們的特殊情況在現時機制下未能獲得全面處理。
Nonetheless I hope that the Government will actively consider the proposal of Dr Fernando CHEUNG and formulate policies to support patients with rare diseases because their special conditions have not been fully dealt with under the existing mechanism
此外，即將投入服務的葵青地區康健中心獲撥款超過1億5,000萬元，我很關注這項試點服務如何與現有基層醫療服務相協調。
In addition over 150 million has been earmarked to meet the operating expenditure of the district health centre in Kwai Tsing which is expected to commence operation soon . I am very concerned about the coordination of this pilot service with existing primary health care services
會否減輕公營醫療的壓力呢？
Can it reduce the pressure on public health care services?
我原則上支持長者醫療券累積金額由5,000元增至8,000元。
In principle I support that the accumulative limit of elderly health care vouchers should be raised from 5,000 to 8,000
不過，按照衞生署的統計數字，2015年至2018年共接獲160宗涉及醫療券的投訴及媒體報道，當中包括懷疑詐騙、不當申報、濫收費用等，加上醫療券的使用範圍越來越廣、市場越來越大，衞生署必須檢討計劃成效，加強監管，否則我們無法解決長者繼續被騙錢的情況。
However according to the statistics of the Department of Health from 2015 to 2018 there were 160 complaints and media reports involving elderly health care vouchers including suspected fraud improper declaration and overcharging etc . As the scope of application of elderly health care vouchers has become wider and the market has become larger the Department of Health must review the effectiveness of the scheme and enhance monitoring; otherwise we will not be able to solve the persistent problem of cheating the elderlys money
總體而言，政府必須確保對醫療資源有長遠而穩定的承擔、必須有前瞻性的醫療規劃，醫管局及各聯網也必須積極檢討規劃及管理水平是否合理。
To sum up the Government must ensure that it has a long - term and stable commitment to providing health care resources and making forward - looking health care planning . HA and various hospital clusters must also actively review if the planning and management standards are reasonable
以應對流感高峰期為例，我多次指出，政府要為醫管局提供足夠資源，包括金錢、地方及人力。
Take for example the tackling of influenza surge I have repeatedly pointed out that the Government should provide HA with sufficient resources including money places and manpower
然而，我重申，撥款不是投放在大家關注的內科、兒科、急症室等部門。
However I reiterate that funding is not provided to departments such as medicine paediatrics and accident and emergency departments that we are concerned about
代理主席，我代表香港工會聯合會對財政預算案有關長者及小朋友的內容發表意見。
Deputy President on behalf of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU I would like to express some views on the contents of the Budget about the elderly and children
整體而言，我們認為這份預算案是"雞肋"，幸好財政司司長命好，命好比好波更重要，"派雞肋"也不會被罵，因為大家最近忙着吃"花生"，對嗎？
On the whole we think that this Budget is like a piece of chicken rib . Luckily the Financial Secretary is blessed with good fortune because being blessed with good fortune is more important than being good at playing football and he will not be scolded for handing out a piece of chicken rib because we have recently been busy eating popcorn right?
即使受到傷害，他仍然維護身邊的女士，這種氣量不是人人學到的。
Even if he has been hurt he still defends the lady beside him . Such broad - mindedness cannot be learnt by everyone
在預算案諮詢過程中，司長不斷叫我們"交波"，我們交了很多"波"給他，但他沒有接或接不到，可能是"牛油手"。
During the Budget consultation process the Financial Secretary kept asking us to pass him the ball but we noticed that he had not caught or had failed to catch a lot of balls passed to him probably because of butterfingers
就香港長期面對的一些問題，包括人口老化、生育率低等，工聯會曾向"財爺"提出意見，但沒有一個"波"被他接到。
Regarding some problems that Hong Kong has been facing for a long time including an ageing population and the low fertility rate FTU has expressed our views to the Financial Secretary but he has failed to catch any of the balls
如一個城市要靠生育避免人口不斷減少，生育更替水平應是2.1，即一對夫婦應誕下超過兩名小孩，才能令人口保持穩定。
For a city relying on childbirth to avoid a continuous decline in population the fertility replacement level should be 2.1 ie . a couple should give birth to more than two children for the population to remain stable
香港的生育率屬全世界最低水平，只有1.125人，即一對夫婦只誕下1名小孩便"收工"。
However Hong Kongs fertility rate is the lowest in the world only 1.125 ie . a couple stop having children after they have a child
誕下小孩後， 沒有人幫忙照顧又沒有時間教育，這些問題令很多香港人不願意生育。當中涉及房屋問題，也涉及工時問題，並不是這份預算案能夠處理得到的。
After the birth of children nobody helps to take care of them and parents do not have time to teach them . Many Hong Kong people are reluctant to have children because of the problems relating to housing and working hours etc which cannot be tackled by this Budget
但是，司長可以採取財政措施，透過撥款減輕父母的負擔，這是政府應做的工作。
However the Financial Secretary can take financial measures to reduce the burden on parents through allocation of funds . This is what the Government should do
此外，設立子女培育基金。
Next a child development fund should be set up
我們希望政府幫助所有學童開設期金戶口，由政府和父母共同供款，用於子女日後升讀大學或進修，減輕家庭負擔，也令學童有更多出路。
We hope that the Government will help all students open futures accounts with contributions to be jointly made by the Government and parents . The money may be used to meet the expenses on university education or further study in the future to reduce the burden on families and provide students with more pathways
當然，司長沒有就我們的要求作出回應。
Of course the Financial Secretary has not responded to our request
我們向司長提出意見後，知道局方可能基於很多行政原因和面對行政困難，所以現時只是把津貼派發給正在領取車船津貼或書簿津貼的基層同學，大約只有三分之一的學生能夠受惠，我們對此感到失望。
After we have expressed our views to the Financial Secretary we know that the authorities may have many administrative reasons and difficulties so allowances are only given to grass - roots students who are receiving assistance under the Student Travel Subsidy Scheme or the School Textbook Assistance Scheme . As only about one third of all students can be benefited we are disappointed
楊潤雄局長現時在席，希望他下年度能夠考慮向所有學生派發津貼。
Secretary Kevin YEUNG is now here and I hope that he will consider granting allowances to all students next year
香港政府的政策雖然羅致光局長不在席純粹建基於數十年前的政策目標，不阻礙市民生育，也不降低市民的生育意欲，但已完全不合時宜。
Secretary LAW Chi - kwong is now absent―the policy of the Hong Kong Government is simply based on the policy objectives of the past decades which did not hinder childbirth or weaken peoples desire for childbearing . But this policy is outdated
我剛才提到新加坡的託兒津貼，其實香港也需要提供這種津貼。
I mentioned the childcare allowances in Singapore just now . In fact it is necessary for such allowances to be provided in Hong Kong
在預算案公布前，我們曾進行問卷調查，訪問了800多名婦女，超過半數婦女表示需要幼兒照顧或託管服務，但有七成婦女表示，附近的幼兒託管或照顧服務完全不足；也有八成婦女希望政府能夠派發育兒券，方便市民尋找地方或機構託管小孩。
Before the Budget was announced we conducted a questionnaire survey and interviewed more than 800 women . More than half of the women said they needed childcare services while 70 % of the women said that childcare or care services in the neighbourhood were totally inadequate . 80 % of the women hoped that the Government could provide childcare vouchers to facilitate the public in finding childcare places or institutions
香港現時約有50萬名婦女的潛在勞動力，無法投入職場，這些資源都浪費了。
There is currently a potential labour force of about 500 000 women in Hong Kong but they cannot join the workplace and these resources have been wasted
社區保姆本來可以紓緩託兒服務不足的壓力，但這方面有很大問題。
Home - based child carers could have alleviated the pressure of inadequate childcare services but there are considerable problems in this regard
所以，我們一直提倡應該投放資源為社區保姆提供培訓及建立註冊制度，台灣在這方面做了很多工作，但今年預算案就這方面完全沒有着墨。
Therefore we have always advocated that resources should be invested to provide training and establish a registration system for home - based child carers . In this connection Taiwan has done a lot in this respect but nothing has been mentioned in the Budget
我們希望政府透過其他方式協助在職婦女，釋放她們的勞動力，以及認真檢討及增撥資源，改善社區保姆制度。
We hope that the Government will assist working women through other means to release the labour force of these women and carefully review and allocate resources to improve the home - based child carer system . We have also proposed providing financial assistance respectively to two groups ie
政府在2018年推出中高齡就業計劃，但60歲以上成功配對的只有336人，三成人士的薪酬更少於1萬元。
The Government introduced the Employment Programme for the Elderly and Middle - aged in 2018 but only 336 13 % elderly job seekers aged 60 or above were successfully engaged and 30 % of them were paid less than 10,000
計劃的成效反映本港長者就業的確實困難。
The effectiveness of the programme reflects that the elderly in Hong Kong really have difficulty in employment
香港也沒有惠及全民的退休保障計劃，令很多長者退休後要繼續工作維生，的確是一個問題。
Moreover Hong Kong does not have a universal retirement protection scheme to benefit all members of the public making it necessary for elderly people to go on working after retirement to make a living . This is a problem indeed
我們覺得特區政府應提供更多補貼，為在香港工作數十年的"老友記"提供更多幫助，尤其是一些剛踏入老年的長者。
We believe that the HKSAR Government should provide more subsidies and assistance to old folks who have worked in Hong Kong for decades especially those who have recently reached old age
我認為政府一定要好好檢討。
I think the Government must conduct a thorough review
每天只"派錢"給5,000人，不知何時何月才能完成"派錢"給270萬人？
If money will be handed out to 5 000 people each day I do not know when it can finish handing out the money to 2.7 million people
大家要多花一點心思和力量，不能只是抱着12,000億元的儲備。
We should think harder and make more efforts rather than embracing a reserve of 1.2 trillion
何議員，你的發言時限到了。
Mr HO your speaking time is up
主席，中產階層對於政府徵稅，特別是亂用公帑，一直很有意見，主要因為他們受惠於公帑的機會不多。
President the middle class have long been aggrieved by the levy of tax and in particular the squandering of public money . That is mainly because they rarely benefit from public spending
今年財政預算案開支超過6,000億元，但為何仍有不少負面批評呢？
Why does this years Budget attract widespread criticisms after proposing a spending of more than 600 billion? . On this issue I have to speak for the middle class
我早前在行政長官答問會詢問特首關於政府服務被拖欠費用的問題。一些欠費人士，特別是非香港永久性居民，理直氣壯不繳費而又不用承擔責任，多宗事例的發生令香港變為一個"走數之都"。
In a previous Chief Executives Question and Answer Session I asked the Chief Executive about defaults on payments for public services given that Hong Kong has become the capital of defaults on payments after a series of cases in which the defaulters especially those who are not Hong Kong permanent residents were not held liable for refusing to make payment without feeling shame
我再舉出一些例子讓大家重溫，包括去年的法庭偷拍案件，一位人士被罰款接近20多萬元訴訟費，我相信這筆費用一定尚未收取。
I will give some examples to refresh Members memory . In an incident of clandestine photo - taking in a courtroom the offender was penalized to pay legal costs of almost 200,000 but I do not think the fine has been paid
過去5年，醫院管理局每年平均有6,550宗欠費個案，而過去3個財政年度，政府各部門的撇帳總額每年遞增，由2015-2016年度的2億9,000萬元上升至2017-2018年度的5億4,100萬元，這尚不包括政府 表示未能提供數據的公營機構及資助機構。
On the part of the Hospital Authority an average of 6 550 default cases was recorded in each of the past five years . Meanwhile the total amount written off yearly by various government departments in the past three financial years was on the rise from 290 million in 2015 - 2016 to 541 million in 2017 - 2018; worse still these amounts have not yet taken into account the write - offs incurred by public and subvented organizations because the Government said it had no information on their write - off amounts
以上種種例子，政府絕不是犯了無心之失，而是有心卻沒做好預防工作及之後的跟進工作。
All these examples show that the problem of default payments is not an inadvertent mistake of the Government but the result of the Governments failure to take preventive measures and follow - up actions properly
這種不問收穫的"冤枉錢"花得實在太令人失望。
It is really disappointing to see the public coffers losing money pointlessly
我希望當局或財政司司長考慮就此多做些工作，令我們心情稍為舒暢一些。
I urge the authorities or the Financial Secretary to consider doing more in this respect to cheer us up a bit
我想舉一些例子，相信很多市民會有共鳴。
I believe the following examples will strike a chord with many people
錢越用越多，但衍生的治安問題卻越來越多。
The more money we spend on this mechanism the more law and order problems we have
然而，奇怪的是由回歸至今20多年來，菲律賓一直是與香港設有一般性遣返安排的其中一個國家。
The judicial system of the Philippines is truly scary but strangely the Philippines is one of the countries which have a general surrender arrangement in place with Hong Kong over the past two decades or so after the handover
所以，如果議員擔心有冤案，我們不如先處理菲律賓的鄧龍威冤案。
Therefore if Members are worried about having wrongful cases we should first address the wrongful case of TANG Lung - wai in the Philippines
派發4,000元只是小事，但對於在外地受冤獄的人來說意義重大。這表示我們沒有忘記他，仍然把他當作是"香港之子"之一。
The handing out of 4,000 is in itself insignificant but it is very important to a wrongful prisoner overseas as it implies that we have not forgotten him and still consider him a Hongkonger
事實上，他不能身在香港，但無論從法理或個案而言，我們都必須認定，被迫在囚人士屬於沒有離開香港的永久性居民。
Although he is not in Hong Kong we must recognize either from a legal or case - based perspective that a wrongful prisoner being detained is a Hong Kong permanent resident staying in Hong Kong
申領資格方面是沒有問題的，唯一只是技術上，他不能夠親自攜帶身份證來申請。
He is hence completely eligible for this handout the only technical problem is that he cannot bring along his identity card to apply for the handout in person
現時預算案建議新增近3,500個公務員職位，當中哪些職位有需要、哪些職位沒有需要可以辯論很長時間，但有一個大問題是應花的錢不花，應加的人手不加。
In view of the proposed creation of nearly 3 500 civil service posts in the Budget it will take a long time to argue about the deployment of the additional manpower . However one major problem is that the Government has failed to allocate money and manpower as and when needed
律政司表示，負責人員要同時負責其他職務，不能分身處理估值高達800多億元的華懋慈善基金。
For instance the Department of Justice DoJ has indicated that it has no spare staffing capacity to handle the Chinachem Charitable Foundation valued at over 80 billion
司長、局長、各位議員，這更能解決多年來為人詬病的郵輪碼頭交通配套的問題。
Financial Secretary Secretaries and Members this reclamation proposal can even improve the poor ancillary transport facilities for the Cruise Terminal after years of criticism
這證明當區的用者也不太介意有此安排，而這安排可以很快處理很多問題。
What I want to say is that users in the district do not oppose this arrangement which can solve a range of problems in a short time
