剛才很多同事說，我們要預留款項作未來發展，所以反對政府"派錢"。
Many Honourable colleagues have voiced opposition to a cash handout as according to them money should be kept for future development
然而，我認為這種說法是站不住腳的，因為事實上本年度的盈餘真的很多，政府大可以同時發展和"派錢"，兩者並無抵觸，我不明白為甚麼有些固執的同事仍然認為不應該"派錢"，只應用作未來發展。
I find this saying most untenable because with the huge surplus this year the Government may well develop and hand out cash at the same time . The two do not contradict each other . So I do not understand why some Honourable colleagues are so stubborn as to insist that money should be used only for future development but never be handed out
正如房屋一樣，現時香港的土地不足，如告訴我10年、20年後要發展土地，我便會倒過來問特首，那麼在這10年內我們如何解決香港的房屋問題？
It is the same case for the housing issue . In face of the shortage of land in Hong Kong if I was told that land would be developed in 10 years or 20 years I would then ask the Chief Executive how about the housing problem in the coming 10 years?
其實退稅、退差餉、加"三糧"，全部均沒有問題，問題是政府遺漏了一些工作，遺忘了那群最辛苦的"打工仔女"。
In fact tax rebates rates relief and two additional monthly Comprehensive Social Security Assistance payments are all fine . But the Government has omitted something . It has forgotten wage earners who are having the most difficult time
他們不買樓"上車"，是否便不用承擔政府高地價政策所帶來的遺害？
Do they not suffer from the consequences of the Governments high land price policy simply because they have not purchased any property?
不是的，他們同樣要承擔，也需付物業和股市的印花稅。
No . They also have to pay stamp duty on property and stock transactions
此外，樓價高昂，小市民要供貴樓、捱貴租，物價高漲，中層以下的市民全部受害。
Moreover given the high property prices the lower and middle classes all have to bear high mortgage repayments heavy rents and soaring prices
主席，在房屋方面，過去5年的供應已短缺三四成，未來5年再短缺三四成，舊債無力償還，新債又再逼近，而且在可見的將來，公營房屋每年供應不足2萬戶的情況仍會持續。
Chairman insofar as housing is concerned there has been a shortfall of 30 % to 40 % in supply in the past five years . There will be again a shortfall of 30 % to 40 % in the next five years . New debts will be incurred while old debts remain not settled
前議員王國興當年爭取的《長遠房屋策略》，其實是希望政府有個硬指標，加強公營房屋的供應，但很可惜，時至今日，《長遠房屋策略》只是用作讓政府推動覓地的基礎，我認為這有倒退的成分。
On top of that the annual public housing supply will remain at under 20 000 flats in the foreseeable future . Former Legislative Council Member Mr WONG Kwok - hing had fought for the Long Term Housing Strategy back then so that the Government would have a fixed target for increasing public housing supply . Unfortunately the Long Term Housing Strategy now only serves as a basis for the Governments site search which I consider a step backward
未來在2023-2024年度，公屋供應隨時更會跌破1萬戶。
In 2023 - 2024 public housing supply will probably fall below 10 000 flats
事實上，公屋輪候冊已"排長龍"，現時已要輪候4.6年、4.7年才分配到公屋單位，有哪位官員可以公開告訴市民，輪候時間不會延長至5年、6年、7年、8年或9年？
As a matter of fact the Waiting List for Public Rental Housing is already so long that applicants have to wait 4.6 to 4.7 years for flat allocation . Which official can tell the people that the waiting time will not be extended to five six seven eight or even nine years?
主席，另一方面，我們看到私人樓宇"長賣長有"，興建私人樓宇的土地非常充足，興建公屋的土地卻不足，好像一巴掌打在政府的臉上，亦凸顯了高地價政策何等荒謬及香港的病態。
Chairman on the other hand we can see that private housing is never short of supply . The fact that the land for private housing construction is very abundant but that for public housing construction is inadequate is like a slap on the Governments face . It has highlighted the ridiculousness of the high land price policy and the abnormality in Hong Kong society
香港工會聯合會強烈要求調整公私營房屋的比例，應該由6：4改為7：3，公營房屋佔7，私營房屋佔3，並盡早就公私營合作定調，儘管當中會有危機或難處，但在短期供應上，公私營合作是比較可取和快見成效的做法。
The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU strongly urges the Government to adjust the public - private housing ratio from 6col4 to 7col3 that is 70 % of public housing and 30 % of private housing and expeditiously set the tone for public - private partnership which is a comparatively desirable and effective solution to short - term housing supply despite some risks or difficulties involved
當然，政府一直沒有聽取我們這項建議，背後的原因或許是因為政府其實是樓價高企的莊家。
Of course the Government has been turning a deaf ear to our proposal and the probable underlying reason was that the Government was actually the market maker of high property prices
每個財政年度，特別是過去一年，賣地的收入佔政府總收入的四分之一，6,000億元收入中，賣地的收入便佔1,600億元。
In every financial year especially in the past year the proceeds from land sales accounted for one quarter of the total revenue of the Government . Of the 600 billion revenue 160 billion was generated by land sales
在這種情況下，究竟財政司司長會否重新制訂更合理的收入來源？
Under these circumstances will the Financial Secretary formulate anew a more reasonable source of income?
大家也要留意，未來基金的2,200多億元其實並未動用分毫；另外，醫療改革預留的500億元現時只花了大約150億元而已；房屋儲備金亦已滾存至800億元。
It should also be noted that the 220 billion in the Future Fund has yet to be touched and only 15 billion has been expended out of the 50 billion set aside for medical reform . The Housing Reserve has also snowballed to 80 billion
這些錢儲下來又不能真正解決問題，究竟我們要儲多少？
The money saved up cannot really solve any problem . How much do we have to save up?
能否對長者多點關心，慷慨一點呢？
Can we be a little more caring and generous to the elderly?
另外，香港人的壽命越來越長，但香港人何時退休呢？
Besides the life expectancy of Hong Kong people is getting longer but when can they retire?
香港沒有法定的退休年齡，有些人50多歲已被公司迫退，好運的人或可工作到60歲或65歲。
There is no statutory retirement age in Hong Kong . Some people are forced to retire by employers in their 50s while some lucky ones may be able to work until the age of 60 or 65
但事實上，我們缺乏完善的退休保障制度，即使政府現時亡羊補牢，推動銀髮就業，但大家可以感受到，在社會上和僱主心目中，銀髮就業的文化仍然未成氣候，令長者的勞動力未能走入市場。
In fact we lack a sound retirement protection system . Even though the Government now promotes silver hair employment as a belated remedy it is yet to gain acceptance in society and among employers as we can all see . Hence the labour force of the elderly is unable to enter the market
我認為勞工處或局方也要加強有關工作，否則，一系列的政策或措施只會流於空談。
I reckon the Labour Department or the Bureau should step up their efforts in this respect or else the policies or measures will be nothing but empty talk
他們過去獲政府豁免牌費，例如食物環境衞生署轄下的牌檔和攤檔等，都是小本經營，自己一手包辦，日曬雨淋地工作，但今年竟然沒有豁免他們的牌費。
Their licensing fees were waived in the past . For example the food and market stalls under the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department are all operated by small traders . The operators run their businesses by themselves working day in and day out yet their licensing fees are not waived this year
主席，香港不是沒有錢，現在的問題是錢太多，儲起來又未能即時發揮效用，令市民大眾有怨氣，希望政府多做事，挽回市民的信心。
Chairman Hong Kong is not short of money . The problem is that there is too much money and the money saved up does not serve any immediate purpose and this has caused popular grievances . I hope the Government can make more efforts to restore public confidence
2011年派發6,000元，當時很多人認為政府不應該"派錢"，應該把錢用在有需要的人身上。
The initiative to hand out 6,000 in 2011 was opposed by many people who thought money should be spent on those in need
但是，今年我們感受到的氣氛完全不同，大家認為自己曾經奮鬥，希望追求應有的幸福。
We can feel that the atmosphere this year is quite the contrary . People want to pursue their deserved happiness as they believe that they have worked hard for it
不過，我要強調，工聯會認為營業額達1,000萬元以上的企業應該要支付累進利得稅，令稅制垂直和橫向均更見公平。
But I must stress that FTU holds that enterprises with a turnover of more than 10 million should be subject to progressive profits tax so as to render the tax system fairer both vertically and horizontally
但是，接下來大灣區其他地方會與我們爭奪人才，所以，香港除了培育人才外，亦 要有相應的措施挽留人才，特別是在土地方面，才能保持香港的競爭力。
However other places in the Bay Area will soon compete for talents with us . Therefore apart from nurturing talents Hong Kong must also put in place measures to retain talents especially in terms of land which is the most expensive among various living expenses in Hong Kong in order to maintain our competitiveness
這是因為香港的生活開支中以土地最為昂貴，土地持續昂貴便難以成為宜居的城市，難以吸引人才來香港工作，更難以吸引他們來港定居。
Persistent high land prices will reduce Hong Kongs liveability thus making it difficult for us to attract talents to work and settle in Hong Kong
所以，我要求政府從各方面提升香港的競爭力，保持香港的優勢，令香港的經濟與大灣區一起向前發展。
Therefore I urge the Government to enhance Hong Kongs competitiveness on various fronts in order to maintain Hong Kongs edges so that our economy can advance together with the Bay Area
主席，我在這個環節發言，表明香港經濟民生聯盟不但支持把沒有修正案的38個總目的款額納入附表，而且整體支持通過《2018年撥款條例草案》，以及由財政司司長提出的兩項修正案。
Chairman I rise to speak in this session to state unequivocally that the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong BPA not only supports that the sums for the 38 heads with no amendment stand part of the Schedule but also supports the passage of the Appropriation Bill 2018 as well as the two amendments proposed by the Financial Secretary
主席，經民聯認為，本屆特區政府的第一份財政預算案，基本上能夠與行政長官林鄭月娥女士發表的首份施政報告配合，展現了施政新風，回應了社會的不同訴求，亦採納了聯盟提出的大部分建議，包括加碼退稅、提升差餉減免上限、增加供養父母和子女免稅額，以及進一步擴闊薪俸稅邊際稅階等，而且在減輕中產負擔和安老助弱等方面都有所着墨，值得支持。
Chairman BPA holds that the first Budget announced by the Special Administrative Region SAR Government of the current term basically coincides with the first Policy Address delivered by the Chief Executive Mrs Carrie LAM in demonstrating a new style of administration and answering the various aspirations of the community . Moreover it has adopted most of the proposals put forward by BPA including increasing the amount of tax rebate raising the ceiling of rates concession increasing the amounts of dependent parent and child allowances further widening the tax bands for salaries tax and so on . The Budget merits support as it covers such areas as easing the burden on the middle class providing care for the elderly and support for the disadvantaged and so on
不過，正如聯盟在預算案出爐當日公開回應時指出，特區政府面對巨額盈餘，應該更大刀闊斧"拉閘開庫"，進一步關顧民生，適當地讓更多市民共享經濟成果。
Nevertheless as pointed out by BPA in its open response on the day when the Budget was unveiled the SAR Government in the face of a huge surplus should be bold and resolute in using the public money further care for peoples livelihood and suitably let more people to share the fruits of economic development
當局其後從善如流，公布補漏拾遺方案，向合資格市民發放4,000元現金，我們認為這項措施值得歡迎。
Fortunately the authorities concerned subsequently heeded sound advice and announced a proposal on making up for the inadequacy of the existing arrangements by granting 4,000 in cash to eligible members of the public . We consider this initiative worthy of support
在經濟和產業發展方面，預算案宣布額外預留500億元發展創新科技，堪稱"大手筆"。
On economic and industrial development the Budget can be described as very generous in setting aside an additional 50 billion for the development of innovation and technology
與此同時，為了鼓勵研發，合資格企業的首200萬元研發開支可獲3倍扣稅，餘額亦可獲雙倍扣稅，回應了我和工商科技業界多年來提出的部分訴求。
Meanwhile in order to encourage research and development RD the Budget announces that eligible enterprises can receive 300 % tax deduction for the first 2 million of RD expenditure and 200 % for the remaining amount . These initiatives have indeed addressed some of the requests made by me and the commercial industrial and technology sectors over the years
這些措施反映政府在全球銳意發展創科的大環境下，決心打破香港過往在創新科技發展方面裹足不前的局面。
All of these initiatives also reflect the Governments resolve to address the stagnant development of innovation and technology in Hong Kong given the general climate of pursuing innovation and technology development around the world
不過，我仍然要促請政府爭取在10年內，將研發開支佔本地生產總值的比例提升至2.5%，令本港的創科產業獲得持續推動力。
Nevertheless I have to call on the Government to strive to increase the share of RD expenditure to 2.5 % of Gross Domestic Product in a decade so as to sustain momentum for the innovation and technology industries in Hong Kong
要推動創科，各項政策措施必須互相配合，產生協同效應。
To promote innovation and technology various policy initiatives must complement one another to achieve synergy
例如，當局在2017年12月公布香港智慧城市藍圖，勾劃未來5年在"智慧出行"、"智慧生活"、"智慧環境"、"智慧市民"、"智慧政府"及"智慧經濟"6個範疇推出的政策和措施。
For instance the Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong was unveiled in December 2017 to outline policies and initiatives in six areas namely Smart Mobility Smart Living Smart Environment Smart People Smart Government and Smart Economy which will be launched in the next five years
不過，根據當局公布的3項智慧城市重要基礎建設建議，包括數碼個人身份、多功能智慧燈柱試驗計劃，以及新一代政府雲端基礎設施及大數據分析平台，政府預計投放的預算開支僅為9億元左右，難免給人"雷聲大雨點小"的感覺，也無法讓業界和社會看到當局積極推動發展智慧城市的綜合配套工作。
Nevertheless according to three key Smart City infrastructure proposals announced by the authorities including a personal digital identity a pilot multi - functional smart lampposts scheme and a new - generation government cloud infrastructure platform and a big data analytics platform the projected amount of expenditure to be injected by the Government is a mere 900 million or so thus giving an impression of all thunder but no rain . Neither can the industry and society see any proactive effort made by the authorities in promoting the integrated ancillary work of developing a smart city
主席，香港如要開拓新出路，推動創科發展和產業多元化，便不應單打獨鬥，而應抱開放態度，積極尋求參與區域發展和合作。
Chairman if Hong Kong is to explore a new way out it must promote innovation and technology development and industrial diversification . Instead of engaging in a lone battle it should adopt an open - minded attitude in proactively seeking opportunities to engage in regional development and collaboration
眾所周知，建設粵港澳大灣區現已提升至國家規劃層面，具很大發展潛力。
As we all know the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area which has now been elevated to the national planning level is full of development potentials
立法會轄下4個事務委員會於4月20日至22日，聯席前往大灣區進行為期3天的職務訪問，到訪廣州、深圳、佛山、東莞和中山5個城市。
During a three - day duty visit to the Bay area during the period from 20 to 22 April four Legislative Council panels toured five cities namely Guangzhou Shenzhen Foshan Dongguan and Zhongshan
我留意到有參與考察的泛民議員向傳媒公開表示，內地創科發展一日千里，對香港響起了重大警號，特區政府在這方面必須更為積極進取。
I noted a pan - democratic Member openly indicate to the media that the rapid innovation and technology advancement on the Mainland had sounded an alarm to Hong Kong . Therefore the SAR Government must be more proactive on this front
作為考察團其中一個參觀項目，位於東莞的散裂中子源基地實在令人大開眼界。
As one of the visit programmes for the delegation the China Spallation Neutron Source CSNS situated in Dongguan is indeed an eye - opener for it is now regarded as the national achievement in cutting - edge technology
這個基地被視為國家級尖端科技成果，以往只有美國、英國和日本等國家才有類似設施，用以研究物質微觀結構，更被譽為"超級顯微鏡"，可用以研究各種材料的結構和性能，在材料科學、生物科技等範疇予以應用，有利於利用高端科研成果改善人類生活，十分值得香港思考。
In the past similar facilities can be found only in such countries as the United States the United Kingdom and Japan where they were used to study the micro structure of substances and hailed as super microscopes for they could also be used to study the structure and properties of various materials and applied in various spheres such as materials science biotechnology and so on . All this can help the application of high - end scientific research results to improve the living of humankind . It is therefore worthwhile for Hong Kong to do some thinking
此外，該項裝置可以無償為其他院校、科研機構和企業提供服務，日後勢將成為大灣區推動創新科技的重要 設備，促使整體科研產業進步。
Furthermore CSNS can provide services for other institutions scientific research institutions and enterprises free of charge . It will definitely become an important piece of equipment for promoting innovation and technology in the Bay Area and facilitating the overall progress of scientific research
我很高興獲悉，現時已有香港的大學和研究所尋求與該基地合作。
I am pleased to learn that some universities and research centres in Hong Kong have already sought collaboration with CSNS
我認為在共建大灣區互補發展的前提下，香港可以利用區內的創科資源，取長補短。
On the premise of complementary development of the Bay Area under a cooperation plan Hong Kong can make use of innovation and technology resources in the Bay Area to complement its strengths and compensate its weaknesses
我期待特區政府一改官僚作風，與業界加強溝通，為參與大灣區的相關企業和機構提供更多支援。
I hope the SAR Government can abandon its bureaucratic style and enhance communication with the industry and provide more support for the enterprises and institutions participating in the development of the Bay Area
例如，政府可借鑒由香港按揭證券有限公司提供的1,000億元中小企融資擔保計劃，促使銀行為符合條件的香港創科企業提供擔保，進一步擴大融資渠道，積極推動大灣區資金鏈、創科鏈和產業鏈協調融合，形成多贏局面。
For instance the Government may borrow the experience of the SME Financing Guarantee Scheme to call on banks to act as guarantors for innovation and technology enterprises that meet the criteria with a view to further expanding the financing channels and proactively promoting the integration of capital innovation and technology and industrial chains to create a win - win situation
主席，推動創科發展，亦有助提升本港各行各業的競爭力。
Chairman promoting innovation and technology development can also help enhance the competitive edge of the various industries and trades in Hong Kong
財政司司長宣布撥款10億元成立建造業創新及科技基金，支持業界在工程項目中採用本地或海外的創新建造技術，例如建築信息模擬技術和組裝合成建築法。
The Financial Secretary has announced the allocation of 1 billion to set up an Innovation Technology Fund ITF for the construction industry to support the application of local or overseas technology such as Building Information Modelling BIM and Modular Integrated Construction to construction projects
基金也會支持學生和建造業從業員接受創科培訓，我認為這是既必要又及時之舉。
ITF will also support students and practitioners of the construction industry to receive innovation and technology training . In my opinion it is essential and timely to do so
建造業議會和香港建造商會於今年年初公布的數據顯示，建造業正面對整體勞動人口老化及勞動力短缺的問題。
According to the data published by the Construction Industry Council and the Hong Kong Construction Association Limited early this year the construction industry is facing an overall ageing labour force and a labour shortage
現時按照補充勞工計劃申請輸入和獲批輸入的勞工人數，與業界的實際需求有很大差距。
There is a huge gap between the number of appliedapproved cases under the Supplementary Labour Scheme and the actual demand of the industry
積極利用創新及科技，誠為可行的解決途徑之一。
Making proactive use of innovation and technology is definitely one of the solutions to these problems
由籌備設計到建造，以至營運及維修保養，更準確估算各個階段的項目成本，有效調控程序及管理風險，把香港在工程設計、項目管理、建造安全及環境保護等各方面，提升至更高層次，同時有助香港發展成為具競爭力的智慧城市。
Furthermore the project cost of each stage from planning and design to construction operation and maintenance can be projected more accurately and the procedure and management risks can thus be adjusted and controlled effectively . This will not only elevate Hong Kong to a higher level in terms of works design project management construction safety and environmental protection but also help Hong Kong develop into a competitive smart city
我只知道"慢咇"議員有位好朋友叫"快咇"，但原來議會也有一位"快咇"，將來"快、慢咇"便可在議會合作無間。
I know that Mr Slow Beat has a good friend called Fast Beat and I found out just now that we also have a Fast Beat in this Council . In the future Slow Beat and Fast Beat may work closely together in the legislature
其實，還有議員已按鈕要求發言，但他卻決絕地劃線。
In fact some Members have also pressed the Request - to - speak button yet he drew the line harshly giving no regard to them
沒辦法，正如政府談論新思維、理財新哲學，全都是空談。
We can do nothing . Like the Governments talk about new thinking and new fiscal philosophy it is all empty talk
我現在就"總目74―政府新聞處"及"總目160―香港電台"發言。
I will now speak on Head 74―Information Services Department and Head 160―Radio Television Hong Kong
那有甚麼新思維、新哲學，不過是約定俗成，審批撥款而已，要不是變本加厲，越批越多，便是批出撥款後，只見有關部門走回頭路。
I do not see any new thinking or new philosophy but the approval of funding application as usual . We either see that the problems have aggravated and resulted in the approval of additional funding or that the relevant departments have backtracked after the funding applications have been approved
走回頭路是甚麼意思呢？
What do I mean by backtracking?
這真的要從頭細說。
It is really a long story
港台的工作應是公共廣播，而公共廣播其中一項重要的定義，就是不受政治控制，亦不受商業控制。
The work of RTHK should be public service broadcasting and one of the key definitions of public service broadcasting is that it should be free from political control and commercial control
早年的新聞處處長，有張敏儀及丘李賜恩，記者都很喜歡她們。
The former Directors of Information Services of the early years like CHEUNG Man - yee and Irene YAU were liked by journalists
當然，以前的時代與現在不同，那時不僅沒有電郵，連互連網也沒有，而新聞處向記者提供的消息，確實非常重要。
Certainly times back then were different . Unlike today there was no email and not even Internet . Hence the information released by ISD to reporters was extremely important
大家且看看新聞處近年的一些歷史人物。
Members may take a look at certain historical figures of ISD in recent years
前新聞處處長邱騰華，現出任商務及經濟發展局局長；另一前任處長黃偉綸，現出任發展局局長；還有聶德權，也曾出任處長，現已為政制及內地事務局局長。
Edward YAU the former Director of ISD is now the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development . Another former Director Michael WONG is now the Secretary for Development . As for Patrick NIP he had been the Director of ISD once and is now the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs
以前，記者會留意新聞處提供的資料，並與新聞處的官員非常合拍，大家完全知道彼此的需要，但現時政府只發揮中央宣傳部的功能。
In the past reporters will keep track of the information provided by ISD . They worked extremely well with government officials in ISD and knew each others needs full well . Yet the Government is only performing the function of a central propaganda department nowadays
舉例來說，在剛剛過去的星期一，我們參觀了高鐵，而我們議會陣線當時採取了抗議行動。
Take our visit to the Express Rail Link last Monday as an example . We in the Council Front staged a protest during the visit
新聞處發出的照片，無可避免拍到有議員手執抗議牌的情境，他們無法不准我們拍照，因我們是考察的議員。
The photos released by ISD could not avoid showing Members holding placards in protest . As we were Members making a duty visit they could not prevent us from joining the photo - taking session
五大綱領包括：綱領1：香港以外的公共關係。
The five programmes include Programme 1 Public Relations Outside Hong Kong
請大家留意用字，是"香港以外"。
Please pay attention to the term Outside Hong Kong
港台實實在在是一個政府部門，當然要聽從政府，但港台指有一份"公共廣播約章"，有編輯自主，是一個編審完全獨立的機構。
On the one hand RTHK is truly a government department which has to listen to the Government . On the other hand RTHK points out that it has a charter on public service broadcasting and editorial autonomy and it is an organization enjoying complete editorial independence
這豈不是精神分裂？
This is Schizophrenia is it not?
為何市民看中醫需要自負盈虧，看西醫卻不用？
Why is it that the public have to pay out of their own pockets for consulting a Chinese medicine practitioner but are not required to do so when consulting a Western medical practitioner?
很明顯，我們可以看到，政府的政策只顧興建硬件，例如政府承諾在將軍澳建設一間中醫醫院，建設了硬件後政府似乎又想"縮沙"，有意將中醫醫院交給NGO，即非政府機構以自負盈虧的方式營運。
Obviously we can see that the Governments policy cares only to develop hardware . For example the Government has undertaken to develop a Chinese medicine hospital in Tseung Kwan O but after providing the hardware the Government seems to be backing down from its pledge as it now intends to entrust an NGO or a non - governmental organization with the operation of the Chinese medicine hospital on a self - financed basis
我們長期看到政府是"重西醫、輕中醫"，而且很明顯，在香港亦存在西醫醫生的醫學霸權。
We have all along seen that the Government stresses Western medicine to the neglect of Chinese medicine and obviously there is medical hegemony of Western medical practitioners in Hong Kong
民主黨希望政府不但重視西醫，也重視中醫，甚至是結合療法，尤其是在腫瘤科，很多病人完成化療、電療後，都希望透過中醫藥調理、排毒等，但政府卻常常對後半部的中醫診療置諸不理。
The Democratic Party hopes that the Government stresses not only Western medicine but also Chinese medicine and even combined therapy especially for oncology because many patients who have completed chemotherapy or radiotherapy would wish to take Chinese medicine to regulate their bodily functions or for the purpose of detoxification . Yet the Government has always ignored this latter part of treatment that uses Chinese medicine
我們知道政府會進行檢討，民主黨希望政府認真考慮將中醫納入公營醫療體系，不要讓中醫自生自滅，讓市民可以享有優質而且可以負擔的中醫門診及住院服務。
We understand that the Government will conduct a review . The Democratic Party hopes that the Government will seriously consider incorporating Chinese medicine practitioners into the public health care sector rather than letting them stew in their own juice thus enabling the public to enjoy quality and affordable outpatient and inpatient Chinese medicine services
在改善公共醫療方面，除中醫外，我也想提提另一點。
Regarding the improvement of public health care services apart from Chinese medicine I also wish to raise another point
政府其實投放了很多金錢在醫院的硬件建設上。
The Government has in fact injected a large amount of funds into hardware development for hospitals
在2016年已有第一期的醫院發展計劃，當時亦為此撥出2,000億元。
In 2016 the first phase of development plan for hospitals was already introduced with 200 billion being provided for the purpose at the time
剛剛在財務委員會上我們也通過瑪麗醫院、廣華醫院、聖母醫院、黃大仙醫院等數間醫院的重建項目。
The redevelopment projects of several hospitals including Queen Mary Hospital Kwong Wah Hospital Our Lady of Maryknoll Hospital and Wong Tai Sin Hospital have just been approved by us in the Finance Committee
所以，最重要的問題是如何增加醫護和專業人員的培訓名額。
So it is most imperative to think about how we can increase the training places for health care workers and professionals
