Borrison/hk-legicost huggingface dataset:
舉例來說，外地公司和外地個人買家購買住宅樓宇的比率在2012年合計為4.6%，到了2016年已跌至1.8%。
For example the aggregate percentages of non - local company and individual buyers reached 4.6 % in 2012 and the percentage dropped to 1.8 % in 2016
此外，我想問局長會否考慮成立一個特別調查組......
Moreover I would like to ask the Secretary whether he will consider setting up a special investigation team
如果發現任何可疑之處，又或有足夠證據顯示申請個案具有欺詐成分，有關人員會安排檢控工作。
If any suspicious applications are identified or if there is sufficient evidence for fraud the officers concerned may make arrangements for prosecution
主席，剛才提到僱主在投購所需的外傭綜合保險產品時，要仔細閱讀保單條文，選擇個人希望投購額外保障的種類或醫療保障的範圍。
President just now I was saying that in taking out FDH comprehensive insurance products employers should carefully examine the policy terms and then decide on taking out additional types of coverage or scopes of medical coverage
主席，現行的安排已在僱主必須為其外傭提供合理保障及僱主的財務負擔之間作出適當平衡，並留有足夠彈性，讓僱主按個人情況在多種提供額外保障的綜合保險產品中自由作出選擇。
President the existing arrangement has struck an appropriate balance between the requirement for employers to provide reasonable protection for their FDHs and the affordability of employers . There is also sufficient flexibility for employers to choose freely from various comprehensive insurance products providing additional coverage according to their own circumstances
儘管如此，勞工處會加強宣傳和公眾教育，一方面建議僱主在符合《僱員補償條例》和標準僱傭合約的規定下，考慮投購所需的綜合保險產品；另一方面，亦會透過職業介紹所和保險公司提醒僱主，確保僱主在聘請外傭時，清楚了解他們在相關法例和標準僱傭合約下的責任，包括必須承擔外傭在受僱期內的醫療費用，並加強宣傳僱主考慮投購綜合保險以降低個人責任的風險的信息。
Nevertheless the Labour Department would step up promotion and publicity efforts to advise employers to consider taking out necessary comprehensive insurance products in compliance with the requirements under ECO and SEC . On the other hand the department will remind employers through employment agencies and insurance companies to ensure that they are fully aware of their responsibilities under the relevant legislation and SEC when employing FDHs including their responsibility for the medical expenses of FDHs during the employment period . The department will also reinforce the promotional message that employers should consider taking out comprehensive insurance to lower the personal liability risk
主席，局長的答覆表示，為外傭投購的保險與投購其他保險一樣，實際卻是"形似神不似"。
President the Secretary mentioned in his reply that the insurance policies taken out for FDHs are the same as other insurance policies but in fact they seem similar but not quite the same in reality
僱主亦須坦誠地向外傭解釋，所投購的保險產品對她有何幫助，我相信這是僱員與僱主建立良好關係的一種方法。
Employers should also explain to their FDHs in a forthright manner what kind of coverage is provided by the insurance products taken out . I believe this is a way to build a good relationship between the employee and the employer
主席，我明白議員剛才提到僱主面對的挑戰，特別是出現以上情況的時候。
President I understand the challenges faced by employers as mentioned by the Member especially when the above mentioned situations happen
主席，我不如用一種間接的方法來回應議員的問題。
President let me answer Members question in an indirect way
大家知道香港現時聘用了36萬名外傭，當局認為我們需要考慮怎樣多方面有效地保障外傭，同時又要平衡僱主所面對的情況。
We all know that a total of 360 000 FDHs are hired in Hong Kong . We have to consider how to effectively protect these FDHs in various ways and at the same time strike a balance between protecting FDHs and paying heed to various situations faced by employers
由於很多時僱主須倚靠外傭提供支援及照顧服務，當發生種種不能預期的事情時，我們又怎樣幫僱主處理？
As employers must very often rely on FDHs support and service how can we help employers face various kinds of unexpected incidents?
主席，我相信議員的補充質詢是：就剛才列舉的8號風球懸掛時的情況為例，如果僱主已經很清楚向僱員表達他的關注，並予以勸諭，但僱員仍堅持外出，之後若有任何爭拗，責任該應由誰人承擔。
President I believe the Members supplementary question is When typhoon signal No . 8 is hoisted if an employer has explicitly indicated his concern to his FDH and advised her not to go out yet the FDH still insisted ongoing out who should bear the responsibility should any dispute arise later?
這是一項法律的問題，我相信議員亦明白背後要考慮的因素。
This is a legal issue and I believe Members also understand the factors that have to be taken into consideration
主席，我想問關於外傭醫療費用的問題。
President I would like to ask a question concerning the medical expenses incurred by FDHs
這變相是由政府或納稅人補助外傭的醫療費用，不知政府有否這方面的數據？
The Government or taxpayers are actually subsidizing the medical expenses of FDHs . I wonder if the Government has the statistics in this respect
當局並沒有議員剛才問到的統計數字。
We do not have the statistics requested
主席，多謝專家的意見。
President I thank the expert for his views
主席，當然，不同的保險產品會列明不承保的事項。
President of course different insurance products will specify the items not being covered
不過，如議員有留意一些傳媒的報道，有時亦會提到不同保險產品的保障範圍。
But if Members have paid attention to media reports they might have learnt about the coverage of various insurance products
我相信保險業界很樂意提供一些市民需要的服務，令保險服務更為全面。
I believe that the insurance sector is willing to provide the services needed by the public making their service more comprehensive
主席，勞工及福利局非常願意與保險業界商量，能否推出一些有更廣泛選擇的保險產品供外傭的僱主選購。
President the Labour and Welfare Bureau is very willing to discuss with the insurance sector to find out whether it will introduce a wider range of insurance products for FDH employers to choose from
此外，香港食肆林立，大多數要負擔遠高於美食車所付的租金，我們不希望美食車與其他食肆出現不公平的競爭。
It is not positioned as the mainstream restaurants . Furthermore there are many restaurants in Hong Kong and most of them have to pay much higher rental fees than the food trucks . We consider it undesirable for food trucks to engage in unfair competition with other restaurants
在選點作業的時候，美食車停泊時亦不應造成人車阻塞等問題。
Moreover in identifying the operating locations of food trucks they should not cause obstruction to pedestrians or other vehicles when being parked
基於上述考慮，先導計劃首先選擇了8個旅遊景點作為美食車的營運地點，以及安排美食車參與由香港旅遊發展局主辦的各項盛事。
In light of the above considerations eight tourist attractions were first chosen as the operating locations of food trucks under the Pilot Scheme and they are arranged to participate at various mega events organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board HKTB
先導計劃顧名思義屬試行性質，讓我們和業界摸索不同的營運場地和模式是否合適，以及美食車在商業上是否可行。
As the name implies food truck is introduced as a pilot scheme for trial to enable us to explore the suitability of different operating locations and operation modes as well as its commercial viability
先導計劃自推出以來，有兩個營運者表示基於商業考慮，在申領牌照階段時先行退出；而最近退出的營運者，據悉與商業夥伴分歧有關。
Since the launch of the Pilot Scheme two operators have withdrawn from the Scheme due to their own business considerations during the licence application process . As regards the operator who withdrew recently we understand that this is related to disagreement with his business partner
事實上，目前15名美食車營運者中，有8名是初創企業，作為商業營運，美食車業務表現及盈利各有差異屬意料中事。
In fact 8 out of the 15 existing food truck operators are start - up enterprises . As a business venture it is foreseeable that there is variation in the business performance and profits earned among different food trucks
截至今年10月中，14部已投入服務的美食車中，7部的總營業額已錄得超過100萬元；再者有一部美食車的營運者憑藉美食車的營運經驗及口碑，已開鋪營業，另有4部美食車的營運者亦有同樣計劃。
By mid - October 7 out of the 14 operating food trucks have each recorded gross revenue of over 1 million . Besides one operator has opened a brick and mortar shop by virtue of the experience and word of mouth gained through food trucks operation . Four other food truck operators also have similar plans
就議員質詢的3個部分，我現分別答覆如下： 一 旅遊事務署設立了專責辦事處，一站式協助美食車營運者。
My reply to the three - part question raised by Mr Tommy CHEUNG is as follows 1 The Tourism Commission TC has set up a dedicated office to provide one - stop services for the food truck operators
辦事處亦一直與營運者及場地管方緊密聯繫，每月與他們開會收集意見，亦透過實地探訪及其他途徑了解美食車的營運情況，適時調整計劃。
The office has maintained close contact with the operators and venue management . Regular monthly meetings are held to collect their opinions . We also conduct site visits and utilize different channels to understand food trucks operating condition with a view to making timely refinements to the Scheme
此外，我們亦剛取得海洋公園、尖沙咀藝術廣場和梳士巴利花園的場地管方同意，會在11月底把這3個場地轉為可選擇場地。
Besides we also just obtained consent from the management of Ocean Park Tsim Sha Tsui Art Square and Salisbury Garden to turn the three venues into optional venues in end November
讓美食車有更多空間、彈性和改善業務。
Food trucks are thus able to enjoy greater freedom and higher flexibility which will in the end help improve their business
二 旅遊事務署一直致力為先導計劃進行推廣活動，當中包括： 1 推出"香港美食車"流動應用程式，提供有關美食車及營運場地資訊，方便公眾追蹤美食車； 2 透過香港旅遊發展局在本港及海外宣傳先導計劃； 3 透過香港酒店業協會，在酒店放置宣傳單張； 4 通過香港旅遊業議會及香港中國旅遊協會搭建旅遊業界和美食車營運者的溝通平台，促進雙方合作的機會；及 5 安排"網絡紅人"在社交媒體上宣傳美食車等。
2 TC always endeavours to carry out promotional activities for the Pilot Scheme which includes i launching the mobile application HK Food Truck which provides information on food trucks and operating locations and facilitates the public to trace the food trucks; ii promoting the Pilot Scheme to local and overseas visitors through HKTB; iii distributing promotional flyers at hotels through Hong Kong Hotels Association; iv establishing communication platform between travel industry and food truck operators to facilitate their collaboration through Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Association of China Travel Organisers Limited; and v arranging publicity of food trucks through postings by key opinion leaders on social media platforms etc
我們亦鼓勵營運者利用不同社交平台宣傳其美食車及售賣的食品。
We also encourage operators to utilize different social media platforms to advertise their food trucks and their food offerings
三 2016年財政預算案宣布要研究引入美食車時，已經說明先導計劃為旅遊項目。
3 In the 2016 Budget the Government announced that it would consider introducing food trucks and taking forward the Pilot Scheme as a tourism project
政府會參考外國營運美食車的經驗，以先導形式推行計劃，其營運地點和模式是否合適，實行過程是否順暢，必須從實踐上汲取經驗。
The Government would make reference to the experience of food trucks operation overseas and introduce food trucks to Hong Kong as a pilot scheme . The suitability of its operating locations operating mode and how smooth it would be implemented have to be learnt through the experience of various trials
先導計劃剛推行了9個月，前述的優化措施都需要時間才能完全發揮作用。
The Pilot Scheme has only been launched for nine months and the above mentioned refinement measures require time to test out their full effect
為免引起社區及其他行業持份者更加複雜的問題，我們認為不宜將整個計劃的定位作出根本性的改變。
To avoid causing complicated issues to the community and other stakeholders in the industry we consider that it is not suitable to make fundamental change to the positioning of the Scheme
不過，就張議員提出的一些意見，我們有考慮過，並在可行和合理情況下，作出了調整。
Notwithstanding this we have considered some of the comments raised by Mr Tommy CHEUNG and had made refinements to the Scheme where practicable and reasonable
會議展覽及獎勵旅遊是旅遊業重要一環，大專院校亦舉辦不少學術交流會議和展覽。
Meetings Incentives Conventions and Exhibitions MICE travel is one of the important aspects of tourism . A good number of academics exchange sessions and MICE events are also held at tertiary institutions
我們曾與香港大學、香港中文大學、香港浸會大學、香港專業教育學院聯絡，這些院校均表示現時不會考慮擺放美食車。
We had liaised with the University of Hong Kong The Chinese University of Hong Kong the Hong Kong Baptist University and the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education and these colleges indicated no intention to accommodate food trucks at present
雖然如此，香港科技大學在11月已提供一個美食車停泊位供美食車營運，自11月7日起已有一部美食車在該處營業，營運表現不俗。
This notwithstanding one pitch in The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology HKUST has already been made available for food trucks operation in November . A food truck has started operating at HKUST since 7 November and the business performance is satisfactory
工業區或建築地盤並非旅遊景點，難以吸引旅客到訪，不符合美食車作為旅遊項目的定位。
Industrial areas or construction sites are not tourism spots and are unlikely to attract tourists to visit thereby not conforming to the positioning of food trucks as a tourism project
工業區內人多車多，已有不少食肆，亦沒有場地管理者可以為美食車提供電力和配套設施；在地盤範圍營運亦涉及工業安全問題，兩者皆不適合擺放美食車。
Industrial areas are congested with people and vehicles with many restaurants in operation . Furthermore there is no venue management to provide electricity and supporting facilities to the food trucks . Operating food trucks at construction sites also raises concern on industrial safety
至於私人派對及私人到會服務，根據美食車取得的食物製造廠牌照條件，其營運地點限於指定的旅遊景點和旅遊活動，故此美食車不可到私人派對營運及提供私人到會服務。
The two locations are therefore not considered suitable to accommodate food trucks . With regard to private parties and private catering services food trucks are not allowed to operate in these areas since the licensing conditions of the Food Factory Licence have confined them to operate at designated tourism attractions and tourism activities
不過，美食車自本年6月底至10月底已參與多個自選旅遊活動，例如西九"自由約"及香港國際手工啤酒節，參與的美食車均錄得可觀收入。
Nonetheless food trucks have participated in various self - identified tourism events since end June to end October this year for instance the Freespace Happening in West Kowloon Cultural District and Beertopia . Participating food trucks recorded impressive revenues in these events
由此可見，我們對美食車的營運一直盡力改善和優化，如有地點符合先導計劃的定位和要求，我們會繼續考慮。
It can be seen that we have always strived to improve and refine the operation of food trucks . We will continue to consider if there are locations meeting the positioning and requirements of the Pilot Scheme
目前為止，14部美食車已相繼在今年2月至10月投入服務，而最後一部預計最快在12月初開業，我們會觀察和檢視美食車的營運表現和先導計劃的成效，預計在明年第三季會有檢討的結果。
Currently 14 food trucks have rolled out successively from February to October this year . It is expected that the last food truck will commence business in early December . We will observe and review the operation performance of food trucks and the result of the Pilot Scheme
其實，我們每天都與營運者溝通，了解他們的營運困難，或想將哪些場地轉為可選擇場地。
In fact we liaise with food truck operators every day to understand their operational problems and the locations which they wish to be turned into optional venues
關於營運者的盈虧情況，我們也看到一些比較成功的例子。
Regarding the profit and loss situation of food trucks we have noticed some relatively successful examples
在食品質素方面亦下了很多工夫。
In addition they have made great efforts in enhancing the quality of their food
其實，一部美食車的盈虧，十分依賴營商策略。
In fact whether a food truck will make profit depends very much on its business strategies
營運者在進場時，都知道遊戲規則，大家便按着這套遊戲規則盡量做好。
The operators understood the rules of the game when they entered the market and they would try their best to perform well within the set of rules
代理主席，所謂先導計劃就是"白老鼠計劃"。
Deputy President the so - called Pilot Scheme is actually a guinea pig scheme
事實上，政府在未取得本地市民或食客的普遍認同下，便說要把計劃作為旅遊項目，就是"未學行，先學走"。
In fact the Government is trying to run before it can walk in positioning the Scheme as a tourism project before it has been generally accepted by local residents or customers . The Secretary mentioned many limitations in the main reply eg
最重要的問題是，而張宇人議員亦曾詢問，局方會否提早檢討，但主體答覆表示要到2018年第三季才會檢討。
The most important question is as raised by Mr Tommy CHEUNG whether the Bureau will advance the date of the review but the main reply said that a review would only be made in the third quarter of 2018
多謝郭議員的補充質詢。
I thank Mr KWOK Wai - keung for the supplementary question
至於定位問題，正如我在主體答覆所說，當我們推出這項計劃時，已開宗明義訂為旅遊項目。
Regarding the positioning of the Scheme as I said in the main reply when we introduced food trucks we clearly stated at the outset that the Scheme was a tourism project
再者，我想再次強調，任何產業一定會有成功及不理想的例子。
Furthermore I would reiterate that there are bound to be successful and unsuccessful businesses in any industry
我們的方向就是盡量與持份者，即美食車營運者溝通，了解他們在營運上有何困難，然後再盡一切努力協助。
Our direction is to try our best to liaise with the stakeholders to understand their operation difficulties and then make all - out effort to help them
林健鋒議員，你已提出了補充質詢。
Mr Jeffrey LAM you have raised your supplementary question
多謝林議員的意見。
I thank Mr LAM for his view
自美食車先導計劃於本年2月2日正式開始至今的9個月期間，在16個獲選的營運者當中，有兩個未開業已退出，而上月更有一個於5月底才開業的營運者退出。
In the nine months from the official commencement of the Food Truck Pilot Scheme on 2 February this year up to now among the 16 selected operators two dropped out before commencing operation while one who had just begun operation in end of May dropped out last month
據報，另有4個營運者正準備出售其美食車以止蝕離場。
It has been reported that another four operators are making preparations to sell their food trucks in order to cut losses and exit the scheme
大部分營運者近日向本人反映，他們一直入不敷出。
Most of the operators have relayed to me recently that they have all along been unable to make ends meet
他們又批評當局沒有回應營運者的需要，令營運者難以持續經營。
They have also criticized the authorities for failing to respond to the needs of operators making it difficult for operators to sustain their businesses
《2019年道路交通法例條例草案》。

會否被你裁定為不屬香港特別行政區政府的工作而不准許我們就有關機構的工作提出質詢？
Will you rule that the task is beyond the purview of the SAR Government so you will not allow us to ask questions concerning the work of the relevant institutions?
據報，有警務人員在公眾活動現場執勤時舉止怪異，包括以粗言辱罵及狂襲市民，以及把槍械指向群眾時面露獰笑，令人懷疑他們是否受酒精或毒品影響。
It has been reported that some police officers who were on duty at the scenes of public events behaved erratically including swearing at and violently assaulting members of the public as well as grinning hideously while pointing arms at crowds which had aroused suspicion as to whether they were under the influence of alcohol or drugs
此外，近月有警務人員因涉嫌盜竊冰毒證物或酒後襲擊同僚而被捕。
In addition some police officers were arrested in recent months for allegedly stealing methamphetamine exhibits or assaulting their colleagues after drink
過去，大家曾看到警隊內有人賣冰、有人販毒，而我提出這項質詢正是要針對這一點。
In the past we have seen certain officers in the Police Force selling methamphetamine and committing drug trafficking offence and this is why I ask this question
因為警員被局長、處長或特首不斷洗腦，令他們認為即使使用 極端嚴重暴力對待和平示威者，甚至如譚文豪議員剛才展示的相片般露出猙獰的笑容，他們仍然是正義的、有道理的、無需害怕的，是情有可原的。
With the continual brain - washing effort made by the Secretary the Commissioner and the Chief Executive police officers believe their use of extreme and severe violence against peaceful protesters even to the extent of grinning hideously as shown in the photo presented by Mr Jeremy TAM earlier is righteous and justified and they do not have to fear for it is understandable
主席，早前西九龍反黑組有警員緝毒變販毒，私吞過千萬元冰毒，震驚全港市民，警隊操守的敗壞程度令全港市民非常心寒。
President some time ago certain police officers from the anti - triad unit in Kowloon West were found involved in drug trafficking acts instead of anti - narcotics operations stealing methamphetamine worth over 10 million dollars . The case shocked everyone in Hong Kong . The degree of corruption in the integrity of the Police Force has largely frightened the general public
我想請局長回應。
I would like the Secretary to respond to this
主席，我剛才的補充質詢的核心是，在自願驗毒計劃下，參與人員肯定百分之一百沒有問題，而警隊推行這項計劃，其實只是提供虛假的數字來欺騙公眾、欺騙警隊自己。
President the crux of the supplementary question I raised just now is that under the voluntary drug test scheme it will be certain that 100 % of the officers participating in the scheme will be tested negative . Hence the Police Force is introducing this scheme to provide misleading figures to deceive the public and itself
陳淑莊議員，請你立即離開會議廳。
Ms Tanya CHAN please leave the Chamber immediately
主席，據報，上月底至本月初的兩星期，多間公立醫院的內科住院病床住用率超過百分之一百。
President it has been reported that during the two weeks from the end of last month to early this month the medical inpatient bed occupancy rates of a number of public hospitals exceeded 100 %
鑒於冬季流感高峰期即將來臨，有醫護人員估計公立醫院爆滿的情況將會越趨嚴峻。
Given that the winter surge of influenza will soon arrive some healthcare personnel have anticipated that the overcrowding situation in public hospitals will worsen
主席，就李國麟議員質詢的各部分，我回應如下： 一 醫院管理局在2017年9月4日至10月29日期間各急症室按周劃分的每日平均就診人次及各分流類別的平均輪候時間分別載列於附件一及附件二；而設有急症室的醫院按周劃分的經急症室入院人次及平均入院等候時間分別載列於附件三及附件四。
President my reply to various parts of the question raised by Prof Joseph LEE is as follows 1 In the period between 4 September and 29 October 2017 the average daily attendance at various accident and emergency AE departments of the Hospital Authority HA and the average waiting time for AE patients of different triage categories analysed on a weekly basis are set out respectively at Annexes 1 and 2 . The inpatient admissions via AE departments at hospitals providing AE services and the average waiting time for admission analysed on a weekly basis for the same period are set out at Annexes 3 and 4 respectively
二 一般而言，由於醫管局按聯網為病人安排臨床服務，因此病人的治療過程可能牽涉同一聯網內不同的醫護單位。
2 Generally speaking HA arranges clinical services for patients on a cluster basis . The patient journey may involve different health care units within the same cluster
因此，從聯網層面而非個別醫院層面詮釋住院病床住用率等服務指標，更能反映實際的服務使用情況。
Hence service indicators such as inpatient bed occupancy rate at cluster level instead of at hospital level can better reflect the actual service utilization
醫管局在2017年9月4日至10月29日期間各聯網主要專科按周劃分的住院病床住用率載列於附件五。
The weekly inpatient bed occupancy rates of the major specialties under each cluster from 4 September to 29 October 2017 are set out at Annex 5
附件六載列醫管局各聯網截至2017年9月30日及10月31日主要專科護士的人手數目。
The numbers of full - time equivalent nurses in major specialties under each cluster as at 30 September and 31 October 2017 are set out at Annex 6
人口老化引致服務需求持續增加，更讓前線的護理人員面對沉重的工作壓力。
With the increasing service demand from an ageing population frontline nursing staff are under tremendous work pressure
醫管局一直持續招聘全職和兼職護理人員，積極吸納合適人選。
HA has kept on recruiting full - time and part - time nursing staff and taking pro - active action to employ suitable candidates
醫管局的護士人數已由2014-2015年度的23,791人增至2016-2017年度的24,980人，每年平均淨增長為594.5人。
The number of HA nurses increased from 23 791 in 2014 - 2015 to 24 980 in 2016 - 2017 with an average net increase of 594.5 per year
隨着護士人手供應最近有所增加，前線人手短缺的壓力稍為紓緩，但整體而言，護士的人手仍然緊絀。
With a recent increase in the supply of nursing manpower the shortage of frontline staff has been relieved slightly . However the supply of nursing manpower is still tight on the whole
在過去數年，醫管局推出一系列措施以挽留人才，包括聘用退休護理人員、增加培訓及晉升的機會、增聘病房文員及助理以分擔文書工作及協助護士照顧病人，以及改善工作環境等。
In the past few years HA has introduced a series of measures to retain talent including employing retired nursing staff increasing training and promotion opportunities employing additional ward clerks and assistants to share out the clerical work and assist nurses in taking care of patients improving the work environment etc
此外，因應人手緊絀，醫管局更推出特別酬金計劃，以更靈活地增加人手，應對服務需求高峰期。
In addition to address manpower shortage HA has also launched the Special Honorarium Scheme to allow greater flexibility in increasing manpower for coping with service demand surges
為鼓勵更多同事參與，於今年冬季服務高峰期間，醫管局會提高計劃的彈性，將部分額外服務時段由劃一每節4小時改為每節兩小時或以上。
In order to encourage more colleagues to join the scheme HA will convert some of the extra working sessions from the standard four - hour into two - hour or more during the winter surge this year thereby making the scheme more flexible
在2017-2018年度，醫管局計劃招聘2,130名護士，以應付包括在冬季流感高峰期的服務需求。
HA plans to recruit 2 130 nurses in 2017 - 2018 to meet service demand including that arises during the influenza winter surge
招聘工作至今的進展良好，截至10月已聘請1,607名全職護士，約為目標的75%；醫管局亦已聘請1,258名兼職護理學學生。
So far good progress has been made in the recruitment exercise . A total of 1 607 full - time nurses have been employed as at the end of October with nearly 75 % of the target met . Besides 1 258 Temporary Undergraduate Nursing Students have also been employed
流感高峰期即將來臨，局長是否有信心可以在往後數月勒令醫管局要達標，以及有何計劃解決流感高峰期迫爆病房及人手緊張的問題呢？
At the approach of the influenza surge does the Secretary have the confidence that it can make HA meet the target in the next few months? . And does she have any plans to tackle the overloading of hospital wards and shortage of manpower during the influenza surge?
所以，我們會繼續努力招聘全職護士。
So we will keep up our efforts to recruit full - time nurses
當然，醫管局亦有其他一系列措施，應對流感季節的服務需求，有些措施已經展開，有些亦會盡快展開。
HA has also formulated a series of other measures to meet the demand for services in the influenza season . Some of these measures are already in place and others will be launched very soon
例如我們計劃在本年度開設229張恆常病床，亦會在流感高峰期加設大約700張短期病床，部分亦屬於提早開設的恆常病床。
For instance we plan to provide 229 permanent hospital beds this financial year; during the influenza surge we will provide roughly 700 additional beds on a short - term basis and some of these beds are in fact permanent beds provided ahead of schedule
我想問局長，在她的認知中，有否聽過"地獄醫院"？
May I ask the Secretary whether she has ever heard of the expression Hells hospitals?
我們將他們提出的問題分為短、中及長期來制訂應對措施。
We have categorized the problems they raised into short - medium - and long - term ones and formulated corresponding measures
