至於檢討方向是否必須一視同仁，我認為須審慎處理，現時各紀律部隊在職系架構上均各有獨特之處，以保持紀律部隊之間的適當平衡。
As to whether the review must point in the direction of offering equal treatment for all grades I opine that it should be handled prudently as the existing systems of respective disciplined services have their own unique features so that an appropriate balance among the disciplined services can be maintained
當然，紀律部隊薪酬職系的設定，必須考慮各個部隊的專業和貢獻，並應盡量避免作出或會打擊士氣或導致分化的安排。
Of course the pay levels of the grades within the disciplined services must be set having regard for the professionalism and contribution of the disciplinary forces concerned . Meanwhile efforts should be made to avoid putting in place arrangements that may possibly dampen the staff morale or give rise to divisions among the staff members
我認為，政府必須細心考慮各個職系的工作性質、社會和經濟環境，以及因應各種特殊情況，在將要進行的檢討工作中，反映他們的訴求。
In my opinion the Government must consider meticulously the job nature of each grade as well as the socio - economic environment and in response to various special circumstances reflect staff members wishes in the upcoming review
事實上，主席，除改善現有職系外，政府亦應檢討現時把公務員和外判合約承辦商僱員結合這種制度對整體公共服務的影響。
In fact President apart from improving the existing grades the Government should also review the impact of the existing system on the overall public services
以康樂及文化事務署為例，過去3年，全港季節性救生員持續出現空缺和人手不足的情況，不但影響泳客安全，更令康文署須局部關閉泳池和有關設施，而泳灘亦須暫停提供救生服務。
Taking the Leisure and Cultural Services Department LCSD as an example the continued existence of vacancies and shortfall of seasonal lifeguards in Hong Kong over the past three years have not only affected the safety of swimmers but also caused partial closure of swimming pools and related facilities by LCSD while life - saving services at bathing beaches had to be suspended
現時之所以沒有足夠救生員，是跟2004年進行檢討後政府削減約30%公務員編制有關。
The current shortfall of lifeguards actually has something to do with the reduction of the establishment of civil service lifeguards by some 30 % following the Governments review conducted in 2004
我理解政府有必要審慎使用公帑，避免因聘請過多的非公務員合約救生員而在非旺季出現人手浪費，因而彈性聘用季節性救生員。
I understand the need for the Government to exercise due prudence in using public funds to avoid overstaff situation in non - peak seasons resulting from the hiring of excessive non - civil service contract lifeguards and therefore it allows flexibility in the employment of seasonal lifeguards
然而，現時的安排並不理想，倘若因人手問題而導致公共服務受影響，令市民無法使用有關服務，則會發生設施閒置的問題，這其實是在浪費公帑。
However the present arrangement is not an ideal one . In case public services are affected by manpower issues and the public cannot use the services concerned it will lead to the idling of facilities which means a waste of public funds in fact
如情況合適的話，我認為政府應適度增加長期聘用職位及改善職系架構，以理順現時公務員的聘用和外判制度。
I am of the view that the Government should increase the number of permanent posts to a suitable level and improve the grade structure as appropriate in a bid to rationalize the existing practice of civil service recruitment and government outsourcing system
關於提升資訊科技人員的專業地位、增加政府在決策過程中應用資訊科技、強化公務員團隊對科技的掌握，以及加強及推廣電子政府服務等的建議，我認為政府應予採納，並加把勁盡早實施。
As to the proposals for raising the professional status of information technology IT staff effectively using IT to raise the Governments efficiency of decision - making stepping up training to enhance civil servants understanding of technology as well as enhancing and promoting digital government services I think the Government should adopt these proposals and step up its efforts to implement them as early as possible
隨着國家不斷發展，國力增強，我們的影響力也會提升。
As our country keeps developing our national strength keeps growing and so does our influence
有鑒於此，加強對中國的了解，亦是全世界不同地區人民在今時今日所應做的事。
In view of this what people in different parts of the world should do today is to enhance their understanding of China
故此，提出取消公務員國情培訓建議的人，若非不安好心，便是無知、帶有偏見和不切實際，所以我絕不同意取消現行的國情培訓班。
Given this fact those who propose to abolish the civil service training on national studies must be either be wicked or really ignorant biased and unrealistic and I totally disagree to the proposal for abolishing the existing practice of offering training courses on national studies to civil servants
當然，如果政府可按不同工作性質和資歷，讓公務員參與跟工作較相關的課程和項目，加強為他們提供具針對性的培訓，我認為是可予考慮的。
Of course in my opinion the Government can consider arranging civil servants to attend targeted courses and programmes that are more relevant to their work with regard to the work nature and qualifications of the participants
最後，我希望談談創新科技及提升政府效率兩者之間的關係。
As a final point I wish to say a few words about the correlation between innovative technology and enhancing Government efficiency
去年超強颱風山竹襲港，政府統籌30個政策局作出應對，應變工作做得非常出色，理應獲得讚賞。
Before the onslaught of the super typhoon Mangkhut last year the Government coordinated 30 Policy Bureaux in preparation for the disaster with excellent emergency response which deserved commendation
不過，災後處理卻惹來不少批評，有些地區的樹木在倒塌1個月後仍然未獲清理，令公眾對政府跨部門協作的能力提出質疑。
However the follow - up work has attracted much criticism and some fallen trees in some areas have not been cleared away one month after their collapse prompting members of the public to question the Governments ability in forging collaboration across bureaux and departments
因此，主席，我認為提升政府各個部門的創新科技應用和研發，也是一個有效提高政府辦事效率的方法。
Hence President I think that enhancing the capability of the various government departments in the application and RD of innovative technologies is also an effective way to enhance government efficiency
然而，有不少該區居民指出，區內鼠患嚴重，街市及公共屋邨內經常有老鼠出沒。
However quite a number of residents in that district have pointed out that rodent infestation in the district is serious with rats frequently spotted in markets and public housing estates
此外，本港去年發現全球首兩宗人類感染大鼠戊型肝炎的個案，而患者均居於黃大仙區。
Furthermore the worlds first two cases of human infection of rat Hepatitis E were found in Hong Kong last year whose patients were both residing in the WTS district
主席，據悉，近年有不少港人移居粵港澳大灣區的內地城市。
President it is learnt that in recent years quite a number of Hong Kong people have moved to live in the Mainland cities within the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area Bay Area
鑒於內地的醫療保障制度不涵蓋港人，該等 港人有不少選擇返港就醫。
As the healthcare protection regime on the Mainland does not cover Hong Kong people quite a number of such Hong Kong people have opted for returning to Hong Kong to seek medical treatment
當中部分人需要由內地救護車運送到口岸，再於過境後由本港救護車送往就近的公立醫院。
Among them some need to be transferred by Mainland ambulances to a Port and then after crossing the boundary by a Hong Kong ambulance to a nearby public hospital
由於此運送過程轉折耗時，病人的病情或會因而加重。
As this transfer process is indirect and time - consuming the conditions of the patients may be aggravated as a result
主席，特區政府有與大灣區的相關機構保持聯繫，並會考慮社會人士的意見，在合適的情況下，為在大灣區工作和生活的香港人提供與醫療相關的適切措施。
President the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region maintains liaison with the relevant institutions in the Greater Bay Area and takes account of the views of members of the public and provides suitable health - related measures for Hong Kong people working and living in the Greater Bay Area where appropriate
就質詢的3個部分，我的答覆如下： 一 根據保安局提供的資料，一般情況下，消防處在收到緊急救護服務召喚後，會按既定安排調派救護車，把病人從陸路出入境管制站的香港口岸，送往就近的醫院管理局轄下的急症室接受所需服務。
My reply to the three parts of the question is as follows 1 According to the information provided by the Security Bureau under normal circumstances upon receipt of a call for emergency ambulance services the Fire Services Department FSD will dispatch ambulances in accordance with the established arrangements to transport patients from the Hong Kong ports of land control points to a nearby Accident and Emergency Department under the Hospital Authority to receive the services required
過去3年，消防處在各陸路出入境管制站的香港口岸處理的緊急救護服務召喚，每年平均約有6,200宗。
The number of calls for emergency ambulance services handled by FSD at the Hong Kong ports of various land control points averaged about 6 200 per year over the past three years
消防處沒有就相關病人是否屬非急重病港人或是否由內地轉移到香港作分項統計。
FSD did not keep separate statistics on whether the patients concerned were non - critical Hong Kong patients or whether they were transferred from the Mainland to Hong Kong
若香港居民選擇回港就醫或休養，我們原則上支持大灣區指定機構以普通載客車輛跨境運送非急重、情況穩定的香港病人，並向粵港兩地政府申請所需牌照，並不需要使用救護車轉運。
If Hong Kong residents choose to return to Hong Kong for treatment or recuperation we in principle support cross - boundary transfer of non - critical Hong Kong patients with stable conditions using ordinary passenger vehicles by designated institutions in the Greater Bay Area and the application of necessary licences from the governments of Hong Kong and Guangdong without needing to use ambulances for the transfer
在加入互通系統後，醫護提供者可以為其醫護專業人員開設帳戶，讓他們在得到醫護接受者的同意下，為了提供醫護服務的目的，按"有需要知道"的原則，在互通系統上取覽或互通他們的電子健康紀錄。
After joining eHRSS HCPs can open accounts for their health care professionals so that they with the consent of health care recipients patients and for the purpose of providing health care can access and share the patients electronic health records on eHRSS in accordance with the need - to - know principle
根據《條例》，只有載於《條例》附表的13類根據相關本港法例註冊的醫護專業人員，方可取覽互通系統上病人的健康資料。
According to the Ordinance only the 13 types of health care professionals specified in the Schedule to the Ordinance who are registered under the relevant local laws can access patients health data on eHRSS
病人方面，他們參與互通系統，必須曾經、正在或相當可能會接受在香港進行的醫護服務。
As regards patients who join eHRSS they should have received be receiving or be likely to receive health care performed in Hong Kong
根據以上規定，如果一間醫護機構在香港境內沒有任何服務地點，它並不符合登記為互通系統醫護提供者的資格。
According to the above requirements if a medical institution does not have any service locations in Hong Kong it is not eligible for registration as an HCP under eHRSS
如果病人從未或沒有打算接受在香港進行的醫護服務，他們亦不應參與互通系統。
If a patient has never received or has no plans to receive health care performed in Hong Kong heshe also should not join eHRSS
我們就互通系統的參與和使用採取較嚴謹的安排和措施，是為了保障病人的私隱、互通系統的保安和紀錄的完整性。
We have adopted more stringent arrangements and measures on the participation and use of eHRSS with a view to protecting patient privacy security of eHRSS and integrity of records
正如其他本港法例，《條例》不能在香港境外的地方執行，我們擔心如果有醫護提供者或醫護專業人員不遵守互通系統相關法規的個案，而他們又沒有在本港營運或註冊，政府要跟進將會相當困難。
Like other Hong Kong laws the Ordinance cannot be enforced in places outside of Hong Kong . We are concerned that if there are cases where HCPs or health care professionals do not abide by the legislation and requirements in relation to eHRSS and they do not have operations or are not registered in Hong Kong it would be very difficult for the Government to follow - up
基於上述考量，政府現階段未有計劃讓沒有在香港營運的醫護提供者或者非香港註冊的醫護專業人員參與及使用互通系統。
In view of the above considerations the Government has no plans at this stage to allow HCPs without operations in Hong Kong or health care professionals who are not registered in Hong Kong to join or use eHRSS
三 衞生署與港大深圳醫院合作，於2015年10月推出試點計劃，讓合資格的香港長者可以在港大深圳醫院使用長者醫療券，以支付該院指定科室的門診服務費用。
3 The Department of Health DH collaborated with the University of Hong Kong - Shenzhen Hospital HKU - SZH to launch a Pilot Scheme in October 2015 to allow eligible Hong Kong elders to use Elderly Health Care Vouchers to pay for designated outpatient services at HKU - SZH
我們注意到，港大深圳醫院去年10月進行調查，成功訪問380名香港長者，其中92%表示滿意或非常滿意在該院接受而利用醫療券付款的服務。
We noted from a survey conducted by HKU - SZH last October which successfully interviewed some 380 Hong Kong elders 92 % indicated that they were satisfied or very satisfied with the services received at HKU - SZH paid for by the vouchers
今年年初，衞生署完成對長者醫療券計劃的檢討。
DH completed a review of the Elderly Health Care Voucher Scheme earlier this year
考慮到試點計劃運作暢順並受到歡迎，所以政府將於今年6月26日把試點計劃恆常化，為香港長者繼續在港大深圳醫院使用醫療券帶來更大確定性。
Considering the smooth operation and popularity of the Pilot Scheme the Government will regularize it on 26 June 2019 so as to provide greater certainty for Hong Kong elders to continue using the vouchers at HKU - SZH
我們有留意是否有合適的醫療機構，以便在大灣區擴展醫療券的使用。
We have considered whether there are suitable medical institutions for extending the use of vouchers in the Greater Bay Area
除了醫療質素外，我們亦要考慮有關機構的 臨床管治架構、行政程序、財務安排、運作環境及員工技能，以及其他持份者的意見。我們亦特別關注對於使用醫療券的監管問題。
In addition to the quality of health care we also need to consider the clinical governance structure administrative procedures financial arrangement operating environment and employee skills of the institution concerned as well as the views of other stakeholders
但是，萬一病情急轉直下，普通載客車輛是否適當的運送工具？
But if the condition of the patient quickly worsen are ordinary passenger vehicles a suitable means of transport?
如果普通載客車輛是適當的運送工具，為何我們每年有6200宗由救護車在出入境管制站運載病人到醫院的個案呢？
If they are why do we have 6 200 calls yearly for ambulance services to transfer patients from immigration control points to hospitals?
關於病人跨境陸路轉運方面，如果香港居民選擇回港就醫或休養，我們原則上支持大灣區的指定機構，以普通載客車輛跨境運送非緊急、非急重及病情穩定的香港病人回港。
Regarding cross - boundary land transfer of patients if Hong Kong residents choose to return to Hong Kong for treatment or recuperation we in principle support cross - boundary transfer of non - urgent non - critical Hong Kong patients with stable conditions to Hong Kong using ordinary passenger vehicles by designated institutions in the Greater Bay Area
如果病人的情況危急，我們不建議進行運送，因為運送過程中，不論使用甚麼車輛，病人的情況均有機會在不明的原因下轉變，所以我們不建議這樣做。
For critical and urgent cases we do not recommend any transfer . The condition of the patient may change during the transfer due to unknown reasons irrespective of the choice of vehicles used . Thus we do not recommend doing so
我們的做法是基於病人安全為考慮，並認為非急重病病人不適用於需要救護車跨境轉運的病人。
Patient safety is the basis of our consideration . We are of the view that cross - boundary ambulance transfer is not applicable to non - critical patients
主席，大灣區跨境醫療合作，關鍵在於體制的對接。
President the key to the success of cross - boundary health care cooperation in the Greater Bay Area lies in the bridging of the systems
香港人經常面對常用藥未有在內地註冊的問題，病人帶藥物到內地，隨時因攜帶了在內地未經註冊的藥物而墮入法網。
A problem Hong Kong people often run into is their commonly - used drugs are yet to be registered on the Mainland . Patients who bring these drugs to the Mainland may inadvertently break the law for bringing unregistered drugs to the Mainland
為了推動大灣區醫療建設，政府上月與國家藥品監督管理局簽署"藥物監管和中藥標本館相關合作協議"。
To promote health care facilities in the Greater Bay Area the Government and the National Medical Products Administration signed two cooperation agreements last month on the regulation of drugs and the Chinese Medicines Herbarium
局長亦曾表明，會定點試行放寬使用已在香港註冊的藥物、常用醫療儀器等。
Also the Secretary has specified that the use of Hong Kong - registered drugs and commonly - used medical devices will be relaxed at selected Mainland municipalities under a pilot scheme
我想經主席問局長，在大灣區放寬香港人使用常用藥品的名單、試點城市、參與的醫療機構詳情和落實時間表為何？
I wish to ask the Secretary a question through the President . Will she tell me the list of commonly - used drugs to be relaxed for usage in the Greater Bay Area by Hong Kong residents the pilot municipalities details of the participating medical institutions and the implementation timetable?
主席，多謝廖長江議員的補充質詢。
President I thank Mr Martin LIAO for his supplementary question
其實較早前，國家藥品監督管理局局長來港時，我們曾積極與有關人員商討，如何 逐步在大灣區使用香港常用的藥物及醫療儀器。
Actually during the Hong Kong visit of the Director of the National Medical Products Administration earlier I proactively discussed with the related officials on how to progressively allow commonly - used medicines and medical equipment in Hong Kong to be used in the Greater Bay Area
當然，如果我們要推行這措施，亦需要得到廣東省藥品監督管理局的支持。
But if we wish to implement this measure we certainly need to secure the support of the Drug Administration of Guangdong Province as well
主席，香港人在大灣區生活、就業、就學，其中一個需要面對的問題便是醫療。
President for Hong Kong people living working or studying in the Greater Bay Area one of their problems is how to deal with their medical needs
雖然局長剛才指出，香港市民可以在香港大學深圳醫院使用長者醫療券，但一般市民在大灣區生活時患病並需要求醫的話，他們須付上較內地市民為高的醫療費用。
According to the Secretary just now Hong Kong citizens can use Elderly Health Care Vouchers for payment at HKU - SZH . But general Hong Kong people living in the Greater Bay Area who fall sick and need medical attention will have to pay higher medical fees than those of Mainland citizens
我想問局長曾否與廣東省政府商討適當的方法，讓香港市民在內地就基本疾病求醫時，可以使用與當地市民一樣的收費水平？
I wish to ask the Secretary the following has she ever discussed with the Guangdong Provincial Government on the appropriate means for Hong Kong citizens in the Mainland who need medical attention for general diseases to be eligible for paying the same fee level as that of the local citizens?
隨着大灣區的發展，可能會有更多港人在大灣區居住，他們的醫療衞生需要也是一個重要課題。
With the development of the Greater Bay Area more Hong Kong people may choose to live in the Greater Bay Area and their need for medical and hygiene services is an important issue
所以，在《粵港澳大灣區發展規劃綱要》中，我們提供了不同的選項以爭取國家支持，亦希望看看怎樣可以令港人在大灣區生活時，得到更好的醫療服務。
Hence under the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area we have provided different options to secure the support of the Country . We also wish to look into how to provide better medical services for Hong Kong people living in the Greater Bay Area
主席，隨着《規劃綱要》進一步落實，將會有很多港人往返大灣區，所以會有醫療服務方面的需要。
President with the further implementation of the Outline Development Plan there will be more Hong Kong people commuting to and from the Greater Bay Area and they will thus need medical services
就此，我想問政府有否研究如何協助香港的醫療機構進一步在大灣區發展醫療產業，然後通 過這些香港人比較熟悉的醫療系統，向港人提供醫療服務，以回應他們在大灣區面對的醫療問題及需要？
In this connection may I ask the Government whether it has looked into the means to assist Hong Kong medical institutions to in further developing health care in the Greater Bay Area so that these medical systems that are more familiar to Hong Kong people can provide medical services to them and thus address their medical problems and needs in the Greater Bay Area?
所以，我們在這方面的工作一直也有進展。
Hence work is all - along being done in this regard
所以，國家已逐步將選擇返回內地居住的香港人納入他們的醫療制度。
Hence the country has progressively included Hong Kong residents who choose to reside in the Mainland into its health care regime
我個人的看法是，選擇返回內地居住的香港居民既然認為在大灣區生活是他們的選擇，亦較香港好時，他們應自行在內地處理各種基本服務和需要，包括醫療保險，否則港方的公營醫療系統仍然會面對較高的負荷，正如局長剛才所說，出現香港的醫護人員短缺問題。
My personal view is that given some Hong Kong residents who choose to reside in the Mainland are of the view that living in the Greater Bay Area is their choice and is better than living in Hong Kong they should deal with their basic services and needs on the Mainland including medical insurance by themselves . If not the public health care system in Hong Kong will still have a heavy burden and result in as the Secretary just said the problem of medical manpower shortage
所以，我的補充質詢是，特區政府會否多向市民解釋及宣傳，香港居民如獲發內地的大灣區居住證，並且參加內地的社會保險，除非病情嚴重，他們應先考慮在大灣區的醫療體系求醫，而非要求大陸和香港當局跨境運送回香港的公營醫院？
Hence here is my supplementary question . Will the SAR Government explain and promote more to the public the message that Hong Kong residents with a Residence Permit in the Greater Bay Area and participated in Mainland social security scheme instead of requesting the Mainland and Hong Kong authorities for cross - boundary transfer to public hospital treatment in Hong Kong should first consider seeking medical attention at the medical systems in the Greater Bay Area with the exception of those in critical condition?
政府會否進行有關的宣傳和解釋？
Will the Government conduct such promotion and explanation?
主席，多謝范國威議員的補充質詢。
President I thank Mr Gary FAN for his supplementary question
我相信在大灣區的整體發展中，就醫療方面，這是我們希望可以達到的效果，而市民對此也有期望。
I believe this is the desired outcome we wish to achieve for the part of health care under the overall development of the Greater Bay Area and this also meets the expectation of the people
所以，在這大前提下，我相信市民會有他們的個人選擇，在適當的情況下，他們可能會使用大灣區內的設施，在有需要時，亦隨時可以使用香港的醫療設施。
Hence on this premise I believe people will have their personal choice; they may use facilities in the Greater Bay Area where appropriate and they can also use the medical facilities in Hong Kong anytime when necessary
主席，政府根本沒有直接回答我的質詢，而其中很重要的是，《逃犯條例》的修訂工作是我們本地，亦都屬於香港自己管理的範圍。
President basically the Government has not directly answered my question in which a very important part is that the amendment of FOO is our local affair and is within the scope of administration of Hong Kong itself
但是，中聯辦卻高調召見若干港區全國人大代表及政協委員，其中有不少都是立法會議員，而中聯辦要他們全力支持《條例草案》，必須通過《條例草案》。
However the Liaison Office arranged to have a meeting in a high - profile manner with certain Hong Kong deputies to the National Peoples Congress and Hong Kong members of the National Committee of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference not a few of them are Legislative Council Members and the Liaison Office asked them to fully support the Bill and have the Bill passed
這是否違反了《基本法》第二十二條訂明，中央人民政府所屬各部門當然包括中聯辦不得干預香港特區政府管理的事務？
Is that a violation of Article 22 of the Basic Law which states that no department of the Central Peoples Government―the Liaison Office is surely one of the departments―may interfere in the affairs which the HKSAR Government administers on its own?
《基本法》第二十二條訂明，中央的部門不得干預香港特區的事務，現在它正在干預香港特區的事務，直接影響立法會議員是否通過......
As stipulated in Article 22 of the Basic Law no department of the Central Peoples Government may interfere in the affairs of the HKSAR . And now it is interfering in the affairs of the HKSAR directly affecting Legislative Council Members in their voting of
主席，我繼續追問一個非常簡單的問題，其實之前已再三追問局長。
President I continue to follow up on a very simple question which I have already asked the Secretary repeatedly before
究竟台灣的中央機關是甚麼機構？
Which institutions are the central authorities of Taiwan?
這是局長強調要調查台灣案，但到現時為止，我仍未聽到局長回答我們，究竟哪個是台灣的中央機關？
The Secretary insists that the Taiwan case has to be investigated but hitherto I still cannot hear the Secretarys answer to our question of which institutions are the central authorities of Taiwan
如果連這個如此重要的問題，局長也答不到，我建議他辭職下台。
If the Secretary cannot even answer such an important question I suggest that he should step down from office
主席，政府最初提出《條例草案》時，商界有很多疑問，局長積極地與商界見面，解釋了很多情況，令我們商界很多擔憂都能紓解；加上剛剛完成了5個共20小時會議，當局及律政司的同事講解，亦令我們更清楚《條例草案》的內容。
President when the Bill was first tabled by the Government the business sector was full of queries . The Secretary proactively met with the business sector and explained to us many scenarios so that most worries of the business sector could be allayed . Moreover with the explanation from the authorities and the colleagues of the Department of Justice DoJ in a total of 20 hours in the five meetings just concluded we are clearer about the contents of the Bill
然而，外間有很多不同的 機構可能還有很多疑慮，好像外國商會，甚至坊間亦表示很擔心《條例草案》通過後，新聞自由及言論自由會被影響。
However many different organizations outside may still have a lot of queries . For example foreign chambers of commerce and people in the community are worried that freedom of the press and freedom of speech will be affected after the passage of the Bill
據聞香港記者協會曾經兩次去信要求與局長見面，就傳媒界對這方面的憂慮，我認為局長如果有時間，都應該向傳媒界講解，令他們在這方面的疑慮可以釋除。
It is learnt that the Hong Kong Journalists Association has written twice to ask for meeting with the Secretary . Concerning the worries of the media sector in this respect I think if the Secretary has time he should give an explanation to the media sector so that their worries in this aspect can be allayed
主席，李家超局長剛才表示，現時距離法案二讀的時間很短，所以難以再安排會見傳媒界朋友。
President according to Secretary John LEE earlier time was running short before the Resumption of the Second Reading of the Bill and thus it was difficult to arrange to meet the media again
我想問局長，香港記者協會、香港大律師公會、選舉委員會很多法律界選委早已邀請局長出席不同論壇和開會，但局長在這麼長時間也沒有與他們會面，現在到最後才說時間不足，局長這種說法是否非常偽善，根本沒有任何誠意聽取不同的意見呢？
The Hong Kong Journalists Association the Hong Kong Bar Association and many members from the legal sector of the Election Committee have long invited the Secretary to attend various forums and meetings but the Secretary who did not meet them during this long period of time says at this final stage that there is not enough time . I would like to ask the Secretary whether he is very hypocritical in making this remark and is basically in lack of any sincerity in listening to different views
主席，早前有報道指，林鄭月娥拒絕撤回《條例草案》，因為不想港府成為"跛腳鴨"政府。
President it is earlier reported in the media that Mrs Carrie LAM refused to withdraw the Bill for fear that the Hong Kong Government would become a lame duck government
