煙草業亦會借着這個機會，將新吸煙產品包裝成危害較少的流行產品，吸引年輕人使用和鼓勵吸煙者轉用而非徹底戒煙，這亦與政府將把吸煙率進一步減至7.8%的目標背道而馳。
The tobacco industry will also take this opportunity to package new smoking products as less harmful and popular products to attract young people to use them and encourage smokers to switch to smoking them instead of quitting smoking altogether . This also runs counter to the Governments goal of further reducing smoking prevalence to 7.8 %
由於電子裝置和應用程式的發展日新月異，立法規管往往難以追上這類電子裝置的科技發展。
Given the rapid development of electronic devices and applications regulatory measures by legislation would most likely lag behind the technological advances that are possible with these electronic devices
要有效管制另類吸煙產品的電子裝置和應用程式，必然耗費資源。
Effective control of electronic devices and applications of ASPs would certainly incur resources
我們重申，煙草禍害多年，對社會亦無任何益處，我們絕無理據再耗費龐大公共資源為會致癮、致病甚或致命的新型煙草設立規管制度而非取締。
We reiterate that tobacco products have been doing harm for many years and bring no social good . There is no justification whatsoever for us to incur enormous public resources to establish a regulatory regime for new tobacco products that result in addiction diseases or even deaths instead of banning them
至於禁令可能對旅遊業及經濟的影響，我們理解姚思榮議員剛才亦提出他的關注，然而每個國家或地區制訂限制進口物品，包括新型煙草產品的考慮因素都有所不同。
As for the possible impact of the ban on the tourism industry and the economy we understand that Mr YIU Si - wing has also raised his concerns just now . However each country or region has different considerations in setting restrictions on import items including new tobacco products
我們未有在其他地方看到這些措施會對旅遊業做成重大影響。
We have not seen elsewhere that these measures will have a significant impact on the tourism industry
政府現時的全禁建議是權衡利弊後，以保障市民健康為首要考慮才決定的。
The Governments current proposal on a full ban is made after weighing the pros and cons with the protection of public health as the primary consideration
我們會廣泛宣傳有關的新規定，包括在法例生效之前就會去信知會航空公司，提醒外國的旅客有關的禁令，並會通過旅發局或其他渠道，向外地宣傳新措施。
We will widely publicize the new regulations including writing to airline companies to remind foreign travellers of the ban before the legislation comes into effect and publicizing the new measures in other places through the Hong Kong Tourism Board or other channels
我們亦會於各個口岸播放廣告，以及放置宣傳物品。
We will also broadcast advertisements and place promotional materials at various boundary control points
我們亦會參考外國做法，考慮在新措施實施初期在關口放置一些收集箱，以供入境人士繳出另類吸煙產品。
Taking into account overseas practices we will also consider placing some collection boxes at the boundary control points for incoming passengers to surrender ASPs during the initial stage of implementing the new measures
吸煙者轉用加熱煙並不等同戒煙，現時亦沒有任何證據證明使用加熱煙能幫助戒煙或減少吸煙。
Switching to HTPs is not the same as quitting smoking and there is no evidence that the use of HTPs helps one to quit or reduce smoking
事實上，現時已有其他實證有效的戒煙方法，例如，向戒煙人士提供適切的輔導，合適的尼古丁替補療法藥物，以及戒煙過程跟進，這些方法已證明能有效提升戒煙的成功率。
In fact there are other proven methods of quitting smoking such as providing quitters with appropriate counselling appropriate nicotine replacement therapy medications and follow up on the quitting process which have been shown to be effective in increasing the success rate of quitting smoking
戒煙人士可致電衞生署戒煙熱線1833,183尋求協助。
Quitters can call the smoking cessation hotline of the Department of Health at 1833 183 for assistance
至於戒煙是否會剝奪個人選擇的意志，我留意到邵家輝議員亦提出了這個觀點。
As to whether quitting smoking deprives individuals of their will to choose I note that Mr SHIU Ka - fai has also raised this point
選擇自由的先決條件是自由意志和知情。
The prerequisites for freedom of choice are free will and knowledge
煙草產品導致上癮，從而剝奪一個人的自由選擇的意志。
Tobacco products cause addiction and thus deprive a person of his or her free will to choose
煙草業與其消費者之間存在巨大的信息失衡。
There is a huge information gap between the tobacco industry and its consumers
煙草業在過去數十年一直以不盡不實的方式向公眾，尤其青少年，推廣煙草產品，導致煙草大流行。
The tobacco industry has been misrepresenting tobacco products to the public especially young people for decades contributing to the tobacco epidemic
政府的控煙政策必須從煙草對個人以至社會層面的各方面影響作通盤考慮。
Government policy on tobacco control must adopt a holistic approach taking account of the impact of tobacco on individuals and all aspects of society at large
至於《條例草案》禁止製造及進口另類吸煙產品，在政策層面上，我們的一貫立場是吸煙產品嚴重危害公眾健康。
As for the ban of the Bill on the manufacture and import of ASPs our long - standing policy position is that smoking products are a serious public health hazard
因此，在原則上，我們不應一方面透過修訂法例禁制新興的吸煙產品，另一方面在禁令以外開闢特別途徑便利煙草業轉運或研發這些產品。
Therefore as a matter of principle we should not ban new smoking products through legislative amendments on the one hand and create special avenues outside the ban to facilitate the tobacco industrys transhipment or development of these products on the other
我們在制定《條例 草案》時，已參考其他法例就禁運或管制物品的豁免，包括《無煙煙草產品規例》。
In enacting the Bill we have made reference to the exemptions for prohibited or controlled items in other legislation including the Smokeless Tobacco Products Prohibition Regulations
除了對無須清關的轉運貨品的豁免，為了讓業界可清理存貨，《條例草案》亦未有禁止另類吸煙產品的出口。
In addition to the exemption for transhipment goods that require no customs clearance the Bill does not prohibit the export of ASPs to allow the industry to clear its stock
然而，當考慮應否進一步豁免進口另類吸煙產品時，我們須研究有關的豁免會否影響《條例草案》希望達到高度保障公眾健康的目的。
However when considering whether further exemptions should be granted for the import of ASPs we need to examine whether such exemptions would affect the Bills objective of achieving a high level of public health protection
由於《條例草案》不禁止個人管有另類吸煙產品作自用，而且另類吸煙產品可作為有龐大市場的傳統香煙的替代品，可以預計不法分子將有很大誘因向吸煙者非法供應這些產品。
Since the Bill does not prohibit the possession of ASPs by individuals for self - use and ASPs can serve as substitutes for traditional cigarettes which have a large market it is expected that unlawful elements will have a strong incentive to supply these products to smokers illegally
在大多數的情況下，有關產品的設計及包裝工作亦不需要進口另類吸煙產品，而可以利用產品模型來模擬實際情況。
In most cases the design and packaging of the product does not require the import of ASPs but rather the use of product models to simulate the actual situation
況且，公司已可透過互聯網傳送產品設計及包裝工作所需要的資料及數據，不一定需要依靠進口另類吸煙產品來進行相關工作。
Moreover companies can already transmit the information and data needed for product design and packaging via the Internet and do not necessarily need to import ASPs to do so
因此，我們認為進口另類吸煙產品以作產品研發的需求不大，需要應用進口豁免的公司亦不多。
Therefore we believe that there is not much demand for importing ASPs for product development and not many companies need to apply the exemption for import
進口豁免亦不一定能為香港經濟帶來裨益。
The exemption for import may not necessarily benefit the Hong Kong economy either
《條例草案》所參考的《無煙煙草產品規例》的進口豁免多年來行之有效，無煙煙草產品在香港幾近絕跡。
The exemption for import under the Smokeless Tobacco Products Prohibition Regulations to which the Bill refers has worked well for many years and smokeless tobacco products are almost extinct in Hong Kong
從香港市民的利益角度出發，我們認為議員的修正案雖然可令一部分商人受惠，但亦製造另類吸煙產品大量流入市面的機會，影響《條例草案》希望達到高度保障公眾健康的目的。
From the perspective of the interests of Hong Kong people we are of the view that although the Honourable Members amendment will benefit some businessmen it will also create the opportunity for a large number of ASPs to enter the market thus undermining the objective of the Bill to achieve a high level of public health protection
經權衡利弊後，我們認為不應亦無需要在《條例草案》下加入有關豁免。
Having weighed the pros and cons we do not consider it appropriate or necessary to include such an exemption under the Bill
總括而言，任何有關另類吸煙產品的進口或製造的豁免，均有可能會造成漏洞。
In summary any exemptions for the import or manufacture of ASPs may create loopholes
尤其在沒有法定登記制度管理產品的運輸及儲存的情況下，而個人管有及使用另類吸煙產品並不違法，為另類吸煙產品的 進口再出口以及產品研發提供豁免，會造成誘因，這些產品將有大量機會流入黑市，令《條例草案》的禁令形同虛設，口岸的門禁大開。
In particular in the absence of a statutory registration system to regulate the transportation and storage of products and where possession and use of ASPs by individuals is not illegal providing exemptions for the import and re - export of ASPs and product development would create incentives and opportunities for these products to enter the black market rendering the prohibition in the Bill virtually null and void and throwing the gates of the ports wide open
《條例草案》旨在保障香港的公眾健康，得到醫護專業人士、教育工作者、家長、病人組織及多個社區團體的大力支持。
The Bill aims to protect public health in Hong Kong and has received strong support from healthcare professionals educators parents patient groups and many community groups
如《條例草案》獲得通過，將會於憲報刊登6個月之後生效。
If passed the Bill will take effect six months after its gazettal
政府會在這段時間做好宣傳教育工作，讓業界、市民及旅客明白法例要求。
The Government will do a good job in terms of publicity and education during this period so that the industry the public and tourists will understand the requirements of the law
就傳統煙草產品而言，我們亦會繼續致力降低吸煙率。
For conventional tobacco products we will also continue our efforts to reduce smoking prevalence
政府已在《邁向2025：香港非傳染病防控策略及行動計劃》訂下目標，期望到2025年把吸煙率進一步減至7.8%。
The Government has set a target in the Towards 2025 Strategy and Action Plan to Prevent and Control Non - communicable Diseases in Hong Kong to further reduce smoking prevalence to 7.8 % by 2025
推進無煙社會是世界的大趨勢，多位議員好像梁志祥議員和姚思榮議員亦要求政府為一個煙草終局，或一個很低的吸煙率，甚至何時可以禁傳統煙做一個時間表。
Promoting a smoke - free society is a major global trend . A number of Members such as Mr LEUNG Che - cheung and Mr YIU Si - wing have asked the Government to set a timetable for a tobacco endgame or a very low smoking rate or even a ban on conventional cigarettes
事實上，有多個國家已經訂立將吸煙率降至5%的目標以達至無煙環境。
In fact a number of countries have set a goal of reducing smoking rate to 5 % to achieve a smoke - free environment
政府會展開邁進煙草終局這方面的工作，我們會評估所需時間去訂下時間表，以加強這方面的措施。
The Government will commence its work in moving towards a tobacco endgame and we will assess the time needed to set a timetable to strengthen the measures in this regard
政府亦會推出不同的加強措施，包括剛才有多位議員提出，希望政府能夠處理二手煙的問題，亦擴大禁止吸煙區範圍和不時上調煙稅。
The Government will also introduce various enhancement measures including a number of Members proposals just now to address the problem of second - hand smoke expand no - smoking areas and increase tobacco duty from time to time
我們亦會加大力度做好戒煙工作，特別是要充分利用我們現在最新設立的地區康健中心或地區康健站，令市民戒煙更加便捷，尤其聚焦幫助吸食加熱煙的市民戒煙。
We will also step up our efforts in smoking cessation . In particular we will make full use of our newly - established District Health Centres DHC or DHC Expresses to make it easier for the public to quit smoking and especially focus on helping HTP smokers to quit smoking
我們亦會繼續和其他國家與地區合作，了解世界的趨勢，穩步推進無煙社會。
We will also continue to work with other countries and regions to understand the global trend and promote a smoke - free society step by step
代理主席，我懇請各位議員，以改善民生為本，支持並通過《條例草案》和稍後提出的政府修正案，否決議員提出的修正案。
Deputy President I implore Members to support and pass the Bill and the Governments amendments to be moved later and vote down the amendments to be moved by Members with a view to improving peoples livelihood
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：《2019年吸煙條例草案》，予以二讀。
I now put the question to you and that is That the Smoking Amendment Bill 2019 be read the Second time
《2019年吸煙條例草案》。
Smoking Amendment Bill 2019
首先，我想藉此時間向衞生署的同事說，雖然我們在議會上針鋒相對，但只是對事不對人。
First of all I would like to take this opportunity to say to colleagues in the Department of Health that although we have been tit - for - tat in the legislature we have only been targeting at the issue rather than any individual person
我記得封螢醫生每次見到我都搖頭，其實我亦一樣，但老實說，我也很欣賞你們在工作上的堅持。
I remember Dr FUNG Ying shaking her head every time she sees me and so do I . But frankly speaking I appreciate your perseverance in your work
局長，我想說，在香港，除了道德高地外，也要考慮實際民情，有時一些矯枉過正的情況出現，社會其實會反彈。
Secretary I would like to say that in Hong Kong apart from the moral high ground we also need to consider the actual public sentiment . In case of overkill there will be public outcry
保持香港市民健康，人人都會支持，否則我一早會繼續支持電子煙。
To keep Hong Kong people healthy everyone will render their support otherwise I would have supported electronic cigarettes at the very beginning
其實，大家都有一個標準，當然你說你的標準不等於我的標準，我同意。
In fact we all uphold a certain standard . Certainly you can say that your standard is not equal to mine and I agree
如果你這樣寫"酒致癌"，不如寫"飲酒死人"，這樣便可以了。
If you state Alcohol causes cancer you might as well state Alcohol kills people
如果這樣做宣傳，雖然資源和金錢不是你們的，但我收到很多香港市民的意見，表示不同意你們這樣做。
That would be fine . As you do publicity in this way using resources and money that are not yours I have received many views from Hong Kong people that they do not agree with your approach
如果沒有，我現在請提出修正案的易志明議員、鍾國斌議員及食物及衞生局局長再次發言。
If not I now call upon Mr Frankie YICK Mr CHUNG Kwok - pan and the Secretary for Food and Health who have proposed amendments to speak again
易志明議員，你是否想再次發言？
Mr Frankie YICK do you wish to speak again?
鍾國斌議員，請發言。
Mr CHUNG Kwok - pan please speak
政府經常提出的理由是，本地人均醫生比例比不上外國。
The justification often put forward by the Government is that the per capita doctor ratio in Hong Kong lagged behind that in foreign countries
好像今年2月政府曾說過，本地人均醫生比例是2.0，即是1,000人有兩名醫生，而鄰近的新加坡和日本是2.5，美國是2.6，英國是3.0，澳洲是3.8。
For instance the Government said in February this year that the per capita doctor ratio in Hong Kong was 2.0 that is there were two doctors for 1 000 people while the ratios in neighbouring Singapore and Japan were 2.5 the United States was 2.6 the United Kingdom was 3.0 and Australia was 3.8
外國人均醫生比例較高，我以前也在這會議廳說過，是因為外國的地方幅員比較大，很多人口稀疏的鄉郊和偏遠地區仍然需要一定數量的醫生。
The higher per capita doctor ratios in foreign countries as I said in this Chamber before are attributed to their relatively large sizes . Many sparsely populated rural and remote areas still need doctors
可能一個很大範圍的地方只居住了數百人，然後他們需要有一些醫生在那些地方，否則假設居民有心臟病要到城市醫治，可能需時半天才到達。
Although there may only be several hundreds of people living in a vast area the community needs doctors or else it may take a resident with a heart condition half a day to go to the city for treatment
但是，香港因為人口非常集中，在鬧市亦有很多診所供選擇，有些更集中在一座大廈內，所以看醫生非常方便。
However the Hong Kong population is highly concentrated . There are many clinics available in the urban areas some of which are situated in the same building providing much convenience for people to see a doctor
很多人很喜歡將香港和新加坡作比較，包括效法新加坡免試引入有認可醫科資格的非本地醫生。
Many people like to compare Hong Kong with Singapore including the practice of the Singaporean government to adopt an examination - free admission system for non - locally trained doctors with recognized medical qualifications
先說回人均醫生比例，即是多少人口應該有1名醫生。
Let me return to the per capita doctor ratio that is the number of population per doctor
換句話說，新加坡政府能決定每年或未來幾年需要和引入多少外來移民，從而知道要增加多少房屋、教育和醫生。
In other words the Singaporean government can determine how many immigrants it needs or has to bring in each year and in the next few years so that it knows how many additional housing units school places and doctors are required
但香港是中華人民共和國的一部分，外來人口補充主要靠持單程證來香港與家庭團聚的內地人，每天配額是150個。
Yet Hong Kong is a part of the Peoples Republic of China . The major source of immigrants is Mainlanders coming to Hong Kong for family reunion on One - way Permits subject to a daily quota of 150
每天讓多少人來港由中央政府審批，就此香港政府無權決定。
It is up to the Central Government to approve the number of daily arrivals and the Hong Kong Government has no say
香港政府不可以像新加坡政府般決定每年或未來幾年引入多少非本地人。
Unlike the Singaporean government the Hong Kong Government cannot determine how many non - local people will be brought in each year or in the next few years
既然香港政府連每年需要多少外來人口也無法由自己決定，又怎能準確預測人口增長和人均醫生比例呢？
As the Hong Kong Government cannot decide the number of immigrants it needs each year how can it accurately estimate the population growth and the per capita doctor ratio?
至於說新加坡公營醫療的壓力和負荷均沒有香港般嚴重，大家忽略了新加坡的稅率高於香港。
As for the argument that the pressure and burden on the public healthcare system in Singapore are not as heavy as those in Hong Kong people have overlooked the fact that the tax rate in Singapore is higher than that in Hong Kong
新加坡人要供中央公積金，公積金不是薪金的5%，而是20%，當中有大約三分之一撥入醫療儲蓄戶口，另外還有強制醫保，低收入者可豁免。
Singaporeans are required to make contributions to the Central Provident Fund which account for 20 % not 5 % of their salary . About one third of the contributions goes into their Medisave Accounts . What is more there is mandatory health insurance though low - income people are granted exemption
而當地公立醫院收費亦比香港高，住院費每天300新加坡元，即大約1,700港元，雖然新加坡政府津貼大部分費用，仍比香港每天幾百元貴。
In addition the charges of public hospitals there are also higher than those in Hong Kong with an inpatient maintenance fee of S300 or around HK1,700 per day . Although the Singaporean government subsidizes a large part of the charges the charges are still higher than those in Hong Kong which are several hundred dollars . Let us take a look at the accident and emergency AE departments of the two places
再看看兩地的急症室，新加坡在2019年4月l日起實施新政策，若有人叫救護車，救護人員到現場評估後，非緊急個案一律不送醫院，改為建議到診所求醫。
Singapore has implemented a new policy since 1 April 2019 . If someone calls an ambulance the ambulance personnel will conduct an assessment on site . Non - urgent patients will not be sent to hospitals
另外，非急症病人如果在急症室看病，收費是274新加坡元，即大約1,500港元，非急症病人自然不會選擇到急症室看病，所以新加坡不會像香港般，急症室經常"爆滿"。
Instead they will be advised to seek treatment at clinics . In addition non - urgent patients using AE services will be charged S274 which is around HK1,500 . As such non - urgent patients naturally will not choose to seek treatment at AE departments
香港醫院的急症室如果只是處理緊急和次緊急個案，相信亦不會導致醫生不足和急症室"爆滿"。
That is why the situation in Singapore is unlike Hong Kong where the AE departments are often overloaded . If AE departments of hospitals in Hong Kong only handle urgent and semi - urgent cases I believe it will not give rise to insufficient doctors and overloaded AE departments
問題在於每年大約220萬人次的求診者中，當中150萬人次，即是三分之二，不是急症病人，只有70萬人次是急症病人。
The problem is that among the some 2.2 million attendances of AE departments each year 1.5 million attendances or two third are not urgent cases and only 700 000 attendances are urgent cases
即在急症室內，我們大部分時間是在處理非急症。
In other words in AE departments we spend most of the time on non - urgent patients
代理主席，政府這次修例為有限度註冊醫生提供銜接安排，加入特別註冊制度。
Deputy Chairman the legislative amendment proposed by the Government this time seeks to provide a bridging arrangement for limited registration doctors to migrate to a special registration regime
其實我在2017年3月22日一個關於修訂《醫生註冊條例》的會議上，已經提出過有限度註冊醫生的問題，時任食物及衞生局局長高永文答覆指，截至2016年年底，共有29名有限度註冊醫生於香港大學工作，52名於香港中文大學工作，他們來自格魯吉亞、斯里蘭卡、巴林、阿曼和尼泊爾等地。
In fact I have already raised questions on limited registration at a meeting on the amendment to the Medical Registration Ordinance on 22 March 2017 . KO Wing - man the then Secretary for Food and Health replied that as at the end of 2016 there were 29 doctors under limited registration working in the University of Hong Kong HKU and 52 in The Chinese University of Hong Kong CUHK . These doctors came from places including Georgia Sri Lanka Bahrain Oman and Nepal
他們因未考獲本港的執業試，只能以有限度註冊在香港從事醫學院教學、研究工作或執行醫院工作。
As they have not passed the licensing examination in Hong Kong they could only be engaged in teaching research or perform hospital work in the Faculty of Medicine under limited registration
醫院管理局聲稱醫生短缺人數達300名，實情是由2011年至2017年6月底，當局拒絕了343宗非本地培訓醫生的求職申請這是立法會文件提供的資料當中已經說明申請人專業水平不達標，未能符合駐院醫生的條件。
The Hospital Authority HA claimed that there was a shortage of about 300 doctors but the truth is that HA has rejected 343 job applications from non - locally trained doctors between 2011 and the end of June 2017 . This is the information provided in the Legislative Council paper which shows that the professional standard of the applicants did not meet the criteria for resident doctors
所以，現行的制度就是我們會揀選一些有質素、有水平的醫生，而我們亦一向歡迎海外醫生，只是希望並非重量不重質。
Under the existing system we will select quality doctors who meet the standard . We have always welcomed overseas doctors but we do not want to sacrifice quality for quantity . The Government has been admitting non - locally trained doctors to practise in public healthcare institutions examination - free under the limited registration regime
政府一直有透過有限度註冊制度，免試引入非本地培訓醫生於公營醫療機構工作，近年更將註冊年期由1年延至3年，政府的說法是可以吸引更多海外醫生到醫管局工作，但根據香港醫務委員會最新的數字，截至2019年12月31日，一共引入125名有限度註冊的非本地培訓醫生，當中受僱於衞生署有3名、港大有41名、 中大有57名，而在醫管局工作只有24名。
The period of limited registration has been extended from one year to three years in recent years in the hope of attracting more overseas doctors to work in HA . However according the latest statistics of the Medical Council of Hong Kong MCHK as of 31 December 2019 a total of 125 non - locally trained doctors have been admitted under limited registration . Among them three were employed by the Department of Health 41 by HKU 57 by CUHK and only 24 were working in HA
換言之，近八成人是受聘於兩間大學的醫學院，絕大部分有限度註冊的非本地培訓醫生根本不是在醫管局的重災區工作，無法紓緩人手壓力。
In other words nearly 80 % of them were employed by the Faculty of Medicine of the two universities . The vast majority of non - locally trained doctors under limited registration do not work in the most short - staffed HA . Hence the pressure on manpower cannot be relieved
我在2016年11月30日至2017年l月13日，分別先後進行了3次問卷調査，就醫委會改革收集市民、全港醫生，以及選舉委員會醫學界別分組選舉候選人的意見。
I have conducted three surveys from 30 November 2016 to 13 January 2017 to collect the views of the public doctors in Hong Kong and candidates of the medical and health services subsector of the Election Committee on the reform of MCHK
這些數字已經十分清楚反映有限度註冊制度的問題及相關漏洞，而最新的修正案其實沒有糾正之前制度上的一些問題，相反地更把它們擴大，我認為是一項倒退的方案。
The figures have clearly reflected the problems and loopholes of the limited registration regime . Instead of rectifying the existing problems with the regime the latest legislative amendments actually expand them . I find the proposal regressive
遺憾的是政府一意孤行，將醫學界和市民的意見置若罔聞。
Regrettably the Government remained adamant and turned a deaf ear to the views of the medical sector and the public
但我仍然希望政府尊重專業自主，確保香港醫學專科學院繼續履行其法定職能，為專業資格水平把關，並採納醫專及其分科學院的建議，就最新的修訂建議檢視及調整現時的專科註冊資格審核機制，以符合修訂條例需要維護專科培訓、專科資格水平和標準。
Nevertheless I still hope the Government will respect professional autonomy and ensure that the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine HKAM can continue to perform its statutory functions as the gatekeeper of professional qualifications . The Government should also adopt the recommendations made by HKAMs constituent colleges to review and adjust the vetting mechanism of the qualifications for specialist registration based on the latest proposed amendments so that the amended ordinance will be able to maintain professional training professional qualifications and standards
此外，我亦要求政府必須承諾讓年青醫生及本地醫科生優先獲專科培訓和實習的機會。
Moreover I also request the Government to undertake that young doctors and local medical students will be given priority in specialist training and internship
我最後想回應的是，有人要求醫生包括我去考試，我的回應是，其實我們一向都會每年考試，我自己考試亦考到30多歲，不斷地考。
Lastly I want to respond to the call for doctors including myself to take exam . My response is that we do take exam every year actually . I have been taking exams non - stop until my thirties
有人問一個高材生或尖子是否夠膽考試，我覺得非常"搞笑"。
I find it very funny to ask a top student whether he dares to take exams
我們勇於考試，亦每年都在進修。
We are not afraid of exams and we have been pursuing further studies every year
所以，我會接受考試的挑戰，我亦有同班同學正在考取英國或不同國家及地區，包括本地的執業試。
Therefore I will accept the challenge of exam . Some classmates of mine are taking the licensing exam of the UK or other countries and regions including the local licensing exam
第三，政府須馬上聯同上述機構，向公眾、醫學界解說聘用非本地培訓醫生或認可海外專科資格的機制及門檻，保證受聘醫生達既定的專業水平。
Third the Government and the above mentioned institutions must immediately explain to the public and the medical sector the mechanism and threshold for employing non - locally trained doctors or recognizing overseas specialist qualifications to ensure that the doctors employed meet the established professional standard
第四，特別註冊委員會需要有前線醫生的參與，才能反映公營醫生的聲音。
Fourth the Special Registration Committee should comprise frontline doctors so as to reflect the voice of doctors working in public hospitals
第五，本港公營醫療服務問題複雜，不是單靠增加輸入非本地培訓醫生就可以解決，政府必須檢討及改善公營醫院的軟硬件配套，例如增加病床、手術室及其他專業人手。
Fifth the complex problem plaguing the public healthcare services in Hong Kong cannot be solved by merely importing more non - locally trained doctors
這些所謂傳統煙的替代品，無論是包裝或吸食的器具也設計得十分時尚，用以吸引年輕人，目的就是製造新一代的煙民，延續煙草商的利潤。
These so - called substitutes for conventional cigarettes whether in terms of packaging or the smoking devices used have fashionable designs to attract young people aiming to create a new generation of smokers to sustain the profits of tobacco companies
