如果樓宇本身的結構可能出現問題及可能不安全，又或即使結構安全，但樓宇使用的鋼筋及物料根本不符合當時房屋署批出的圖則，即等於人家要買一個橙，你卻賣了一個蘋果給他，問題在此，不知道局方會否承認這一點？
The structure of the building itself may be problematic and it may be unsafe; or even if it is safe the steel bars and the materials used do not comply with the requirements of the drawings approved by HD . The situation is like giving an apple to a person buying an orange . That is the problem will the Policy Bureau admit it or not?
根據我們的理解，在相關簷篷修改鋼筋的數目只佔整體的小部分，亦不涉及樓宇結構安全。
As we understand it the change in the number of steel bars of the canopies in question represent only a small part and it does not affect the structural safety of the building
正如我剛才所說，我們願意採取適當步驟，讓公眾的疑慮得以釋除。
As I said earlier we are willing to take appropriate steps to dispel any public misgivings
我在此再重申，房委會在相關屋邨的代表會協助管委會進行適當的檢驗工作，釐清事實，以釋除公眾疑慮。
Let me reiterate HAs representatives in the relevant estate will assist the management committee to conduct suitable testing to clarify the facts and dispel public misgivings
代理主席，竹園北邨這宗個案似乎不是一般的維修問題，而今次法團的指控亦非常嚴重，因為他們找來兩名結構工程師調查，發現鋼筋及混凝土等均與房屋署批出的建築圖則不相符。
Deputy President it seems that the case of Chuk Yuen North Estate is not one of general maintenance problems . The allegations of the OC are very serious as two structural engineers had been commissioned to conduct investigation and they found that the steel bars and the concrete slabs etc . did not comply with the drawings approved by HD
房委會是公營房屋的發展商，我想問局長，按照程序，假如真的發現原本的設計或圖則出現問題，房屋署會如何跟進和處理？
Since HA is the developer of public housing estates if it is really found that there are problems with the original design and drawings may I ask the Secretary how HD will follow up and handle the matter in accordance with the procedures?
我個人認為，在我們找尋真相期間，若有一些合理懷疑，繼而確認有關情況確實存在時，我們便會如議員剛才所說般進行獨立調查，展開有關工序，確保情況得以釐清及釋除公眾疑慮。
I personally think that in the process of seeking the truth if we have some reasonable doubts and then confirm that the alleged conditions do exist we will conduct an independent investigation as suggested by Members and commence the process so as to ensure that the facts are clarified and the doubts of the public are removed
如果他們已清楚表明並無相關情況，我認為事情便應可得以解決。
If our colleagues clearly state that the conditions do not exist I think the matter should then be resolved
回應議員剛才的發言，我想在此向各位議員及公眾表述，政府團隊對結構及樓宇安全，絕無妥協的空間。
In response to Members comments made just now I would like to tell Members and the public that the government team considers that there is absolutely no room for compromise as regards the structural safety of buildings
如果發現任何涉及樓宇結構安全的情況，我們便會全力跟進，且對有關人員絕不輕貸，但同時，我們亦希望在座議員給予時間，讓我們的同事以專業的態度和行動處理有關事宜。
If we found any condition which affects the safety of building structures we will spare no effort in following up the matter and we will definitely not condone any personnel involved . But at the same time we hope that Members now present can give us some time for our colleagues to take actions to handle the matter with professionalism
主席，政府和醫院管理局高度重視為所有患者，包括癌症病人，提供適切治療，同時確保病人在高補貼的公共醫療系統下，可公平地獲處方安全、有效和具成本效益的藥物。
President the Government and the Hospital Authority HA place high importance on providing optimal care for all patients including cancer patients and assuring patients of equitable access to safe efficacious and cost - effective drugs under our highly subsidized public health care system
就蔣麗芸議員質詢的各部分，我綜合回應如下： 醫管局設有既定機制定期評估新藥物和檢討藥物名冊和安全網的資助範圍。
My consolidated reply to the various parts of the question raised by Dr CHIANG Lai - wan is as follows HA has an established mechanism for regular appraisal of new drugs and review of its Drug Formulary and the coverage of the safety net
我們在去年的施政報告已承諾，醫管局轄下的藥事管理委員會及其他相關委員會會更密切地跟進新藥物的科研發展和醫學實證，讓有需要的病人盡早獲得治療。
As pledged in last years Policy Address the Drug Management Committee under HA and other committees concerned will more closely monitor the research developments and the accumulation of medical scientific evidence for new drugs so that needy patients could receive early treatment
在評估新藥物，尤其是較昂貴的藥物時，醫管局亦會審慎研究有關治療方案在財務上的長遠可持續性，以期為所有患者提供適切的治療。
In appraising new drugs especially expensive ones HA will also carefully examine the long - term financial sustainability of the drug therapies with a view to providing all patients with appropriate treatments
如個別新藥物能通過評審，醫管局會適時把該藥納入藥物名冊或安全網的資助範圍。
HA will include approved drugs in the Drug Formulary or under the coverage of the safety net as appropriate
目前，醫管局藥物名冊已包括治療多種疾病的有效藥物，並以標準收費向病人提供，當中包括用以治療癌症的標靶藥物。
Currently HA Drug Formulary includes effective drugs for the treatment of various diseases . These drugs including targeted therapy drugs for treating cancer are provided for patients at standard fees and charges
醫管局亦透過恆常的檢討持續擴大藥物名冊的範圍，並分階段把治療癌症的自費藥物納入藥物名冊的專用藥物類別，以標準收費提供予符合特定臨床情況的病人使用。
HA has been extending the coverage of its Drug Formulary through regular review . Self - financed cancer drugs are incorporated into the Drug Formularys special drug category in phases and provided for patients with specific clinical indications at standard fees and charges
與此同時，醫管局亦為有經濟困難的患者就指定自費藥物設立安全網，透過撒瑪利亞基金和關愛基金醫療援助項目，資助合資格的病人使用納入安全網的自費藥物。
HA provides a safety net for patients with financial difficulties in respect of specific self - financed items through the Samaritan Fund and the Community Care Fund CCF Medical Assistance Programmes under which eligible patients are subsidized to purchase self - financed drugs covered by the safety net
截至2018年4月，撒瑪利亞基金涵蓋了29種經證實有顯著療效的自費藥物，其中13種藥物用以治療癌症，當中有10種為標靶藥物。
As at April 2018 a total of 29 self - financed drugs proven to be of significant benefits were covered by the Samaritan Fund . Among them 13 are for cancer treatment of which 10 are targeted therapy drugs
為向癌症病人提供更多援助，政府和醫管局於2011年8月推出關愛基金醫療援助項目首階段計劃，資助病人使用尚未納入撒瑪利亞基金安全網，但迅速累積醫學實證及相對效益略高的特定自費癌症藥物。
To provide cancer patients with more support the Government and HA launched the First Phase Programme of the CCF Medical Assistance Programmes in August 2011 to offer patients financial assistance to purchase specified self - financed cancer drugs which have not yet been brought into the Samaritan Fund safety net but have been rapidly accumulating medical scientific evidence and have relatively higher efficacy
截至2018年4月，共有16種用以治療癌症的自費藥物獲納入此項目的資助範圍，當中有13種為標靶藥物。
As at April 2018 a total of 16 self - financed cancer drugs have been covered by this Programme and 13 of which are targeted therapy drugs
藥物評審是持續進行的程序，須按不斷演進的醫學證據、最新的臨床發展及市場變化進行。
The appraisal of drugs is an ongoing process driven by evolving medical evidence latest clinical developments and market dynamics
目前，大部分新研發的抗癌藥物尚待更多科研實證證明其臨床效用和成本效益，以及對病人的實際裨益。
At this stage more scientific evidence is required to confirm the clinical efficacy and cost - effectiveness of most newly - developed drugs for cancer treatment and the actual benefits to patients
醫管局會密切留意臨床醫療和科研實證的最新發展，聽取病人團體的意見和建議，並繼續以善用有限公共資源及為最多有需要的病人提供治療 的原則，檢討藥物名冊和安全網的資助範圍。
HA will keep abreast of the latest development of clinical treatment and scientific evidence heed the views and suggestions of patients groups and continue to review the Drug Formulary and the coverage of the safety net under the principle of rational use of limited public resources while maximizing the health benefits for patients in need
醫管局亦正研究擴闊關愛基金醫療援助項目的資助範圍，按個別情況為有特殊臨床需要的病人就特定藥物治療提供資助，包括資助合適的病人參與個別藥廠的恩恤用藥計劃。
HA is also examining the extension of the coverage of CCF Medical Assistance Programmes to provide patients with subsidies for specific drug treatments according to individual patients special clinical needs including subsidizing eligible patients to participate in compassionate programmes of individual pharmaceutical companies
為減輕癌症病人的負擔，醫管局一直與藥商進行磋商，為指定的癌症藥物制訂風險分擔計劃，由醫管局、病人與藥商在指定年期內分擔所需的藥物開支，或為病人設定支付藥費的上限，以便病人得以盡快用藥，並為相關病人提供長遠可持續、可負擔和適切的藥物治療。
To alleviate the financial burden on cancer patients HA has been in close liaison with pharmaceutical companies on the setting up of risk sharing programmes for specific cancer drugs . Under the programmes HA patients and pharmaceutical companies will contribute to the drug costs in specific proportions within a defined period or the drug treatment costs to be borne by patients will be capped . The aim is to facilitate patients early access to drug treatments and provide the patients with sustainable affordable and optimal drug treatments in the long term
醫管局已委託顧問檢討現時撒瑪利亞基金及關愛基金醫療援助項目的經濟審查和病人藥費分擔機制，並會因應檢討結果提出改善建議，以期為有需要的病人提供更適切的協助。
HA has commissioned a consultancy study to review the current financial assessment and patients co - payment mechanism under the Samaritan Fund and CCF Medical Assistance Programmes . Improvement measures will be put forward in the light of the review findings with the aim of providing more appropriate assistance for patients in need
就此，政府已於2018-2019年度的財政預算預留資源配合。
The Government has earmarked funding in the 2018 - 2019 Budget for this purpose
有關資源的具體運用將因應檢討結果和建議而定。
Actual use of the funding will be subject to the review findings and recommendations
多謝蔣麗芸議員的質詢。
I thank Dr CHIANG Lai - wan for the question
我們也留意到現時社會對癌症藥物的需求，而部分癌症藥物卻費用高昂。
We have also noticed the present demand for cancer drugs by members of the public and some of the drugs are very expensive
對於現時關愛基金及撒瑪利亞基金醫療援助項目的資助範圍，很多人曾向我們提出意見，我們已委託顧問檢討現時的藥費分擔機制。
Many people have expressed their views about the scope of the Samaritan Fund and CCF Medical Assistance Programmes and we have also commissioned a consultancy study to review the current patients co - payment mechanism
正如我剛才所說，醫管局高度重視所有病患者，盡量向他們提供適切的治療。
As I said just now HA attaches great importance to all patients and does its best to provide them with the appropriate treatments
因此，現時的檢討分為兩個方向，第一，病人藥費的分擔機制；第二，經濟審查的準則。
Hence the present review is conducted in two general directions first the patients co - payment mechanism; and two the criteria of the means test
局長在主體答覆提到，按現行機制，藥物建議委員 會每3個月召開會議，評估新藥物的安全性、療效及成本效益等因素。
In the main reply the Secretary said that under the present system the Drug Advisory Committee conducts meetings once every three months to appraise new drugs in terms of such factors as safety efficacy cost - effectiveness and others
藥物安全性和療效是必然的考慮，但成本效益這一項對患上癌病或罕見疾病而需要昂貴藥物治療的病人而言是不利的，原因是以相同的成本，治療所需藥費較低的疾病或影響人數眾多的疾病，其成本效益必定會較高。
While safety and efficacy of drugs are essential considerations the factor of cost - effectiveness is unfavourable for cancer or rare disease patients because for the same amount of money the cost - effectiveness of treating patients requiring less expensive drugs or diseases affecting more people will definitely be higher
多謝張超雄議員提出的補充質詢。
I thank Dr Fernando CHEUNG for raising this supplementary question
在成本效益方面，張議員剛才提出的只是其中的一個例子。
In respect of cost - effectiveness what Dr CHEUNG cited was only one of the examples
醫管局必定會顧及病人的裨益，不會只看成本效益。
HA will surely take the interest of patients into account not just the cost - effectiveness of drugs
至於新藥物是否對病人有最大裨益，必須視乎疾病的狀況、病人用藥的依從性、是否能改善病人的生活質素、用藥的實際經驗等，我們很多時亦會聽取專業人士或團體及病人組織的意見。
As regards whether a new drug will benefit patients the most it must depend on the disease state patient compliance whether the drug can improve a patients quality of life and the actual experience in the use of drugs . Very often we will also take the views of professionals and patient groups on board
主席，現時，衞生署在香港兒童免疫接種計劃下，為初生嬰兒至小六學生注射疫苗及加強劑，以預防他們感染麻疹、小兒麻痺症及水痘等11種傳染病。
President at present the Department of Health DH provides vaccines and boosters for children from birth to Primary Six under the Hong Kong Childhood Immunisation Programme in order to protect them from 11 infectious diseases such as measles poliomyelitis and chickenpox
家長可攜同初生 嬰兒至5歲兒童到各母嬰健康院接受疫苗注射，而小學生則由衞生署注射員到學校提供服務。
Parents may bring their children from birth to five years of age to the various Maternal and Child Health Centre for immunization . Inoculators of DH will visit primary schools to provide immunization service to primary students
此外，年齡介乎6個月至未滿12歲兒童，可分別在政府防疫注射計劃及疫苗資助計劃下，獲免費及受資助的季節性流感疫苗注射。
Moreover children aged six months to under 12 years are eligible for free and subsidized seasonal influenza vaccination SIV via the Government Vaccination Programme GVP and Vaccination Subsidy Scheme VSS respectively
代理主席，疫苗接種是預防傳染病的有效方法。
Deputy President vaccination is an effective means to protect oneself against infectious diseases
政府現正推行多項免費或資助計劃，為不同群組的兒童提供免費或資助的疫苗接種服務。
The Government is currently conducting several free vaccination programmes or subsidy schemes to provide free or subsidized vaccination services for children of different target groups
就周浩鼎議員質詢的3部分，經諮詢衞生署後，謹答覆如下： 一 香港兒童免疫接種計劃為合資格的兒童提供不同種類及免費的疫苗和加強劑，共涵蓋11種傳染病。
Having consulted the Department of Health DH I now give a reply to the three parts of the question by Mr Holden CHOW as follows 1 Eligible children will receive different types of free vaccines and boosters under the Hong Kong Childhood Immunisation Programme HKCIP for the prevention of 11 types of infectious diseases
初生嬰兒首先會在醫院接種疫苗，其後學前兒童可按各種疫苗及加強劑建議的接種年齡等到衞生署轄下的母嬰健康院接種疫苗，而小學學童則由衞生署轄下的學童免疫注射小組到學校提供接種服務。
Vaccines are first given to newborn babies in hospitals . During their pre - school period children will receive different types of vaccines and boosters at recommended ages of vaccination at the DHs Maternal and Child Health Centres MCHCs . As for primary school children vaccination is provided at schools by the DHs outreaching School Immunisation Team SIT
過去3年，按照計劃，公立及私家醫院每年為初生嬰兒接種約112,000至120,000劑疫苗；衞生署轄下母嬰健康院每年為兒童接種約60萬劑疫苗，而小組則為所有小一及小六學生每年接種約16萬多劑疫苗。
In each of the past three years about 112 000 to 120 000 doses of vaccine were given to newborn babies by public and private hospitals; about 600 000 doses to children by DHs MCHCs; and about 160 000 doses to all Primary One and Six school children by SIT under HKCIP
最近於2015年進行的調查顯示，計劃下涵蓋的各種疫苗的整體覆蓋率已達非常高水平，達95%以上。
The most recent survey conducted in 2015 indicated that the overall coverage of various vaccines under HKCIP had reached as high as above 95 %
二 在季節性流感疫苗方面，所有6個月至未滿12歲兒童可到參與疫苗資助計劃的私家醫生診所獲得資助接種流感疫苗，私家醫生亦可為小學安排外展疫苗接種活動。
2 Regarding seasonal influenza vaccination children aged 6 months to less than 12 years can receive subsidized vaccination at the clinics of private doctors enrolled in the Vaccination Subsidy Scheme VSS . These private doctors can also organize outreach vaccination activities in primary schools
這些外展到校接種服務均由參與疫苗資助計劃的私家醫生提供，而行政及巡查工作則由衞生署衞生防護中心兼顧。
While these school outreach vaccination services were provided by private doctors enrolled in VSS the logistics and inspection of services were carried out by the Centre for Health Protection CHP of DH
在2015-2016、2016-2017及2017-2018季度，分別有約2,400名、1,600名及1,900名的合資格兒童在政府防疫注射計劃下接種流感疫苗。
In the seasons of 2015 - 2016 2016 - 2017 and 2017 - 2018 some 2 400 1 600 and 1 900 eligible children received influenza vaccination respectively under GVP
三 中心一直注視世界衞生組織對免疫接種的最新立場、新疫苗的科學發展和應用、成本效益、全球和本地疫苗可預防疾病的最流行病學情況，以及各地衞生當局的經驗。
3 CHP has kept abreast of the latest position of the World Health Organization on immunization and vaccination the scientific development and application of new vaccines as well as their cost - effectiveness the latest global and local epidemiology of vaccine preventable diseases and the experience of other health authorities
中心轄下的疫苗可預防疾病科學委員會定期舉行會議，從公共衞生的角度，就計劃涵蓋的疫苗向中心提出建議。
The Scientific Committee on Vaccine Preventable Diseases under CHP holds regular meetings and makes recommendations to CHP regarding the types of vaccines to be incorporated into HKCIP from the public health perspective
一般而言，把新疫苗納入計劃會以科學實證為基礎，並考慮公共衞生方面多項因素，包括疾病對社會造成的整體醫療負擔、疫苗的效能及安全性、是否有其他有效的預防措施、成本效益、有關疫苗是否為市民所接受等。
Generally speaking the incorporation of a new vaccine to HKCIP will be based on scientific evidence taking into account a number of public health considerations including the overall disease burden on society the efficacy and safety of the vaccine the availability of other effective preventive measures cost - effectiveness and public acceptance of the vaccine
中心正積極籌備2018-2019學年學校外展疫苗接種先導計劃。
CHP is actively preparing for the launch of the School Outreach Vaccination Pilot Programme in the 2018 - 2019 school year
在先導計劃下，參與的小學可透過政府或公私營合作外展隊，為學校提供免費的外展流感疫苗接種服務。
Under Pilot Programme the Government will provide free outreach influenza vaccination services for participating primary schools by either the Government Outreach Team or the Public - Private - Partnership Outreach Team
有關參加加強的疫苗資助外展計劃的醫生名單將於稍後上載至中心網頁。
A list of doctors participating in the enhanced outreach VSS will be uploaded to CHPs website in due course
參與上述計劃的私家醫生不會向學童收取額外費用。
No extra fees will be charged by these participating private doctors for the service
未有參加先導計劃的小學，可自行邀請名單上的私家醫生提供免費的到校疫苗接種服務。
Primary schools which will not participate in Pilot Programme may take the initiative to invite private doctors on the list to provide free outreach vaccination services at their schools
當然，我們也明白過去每年只有50多至60多間小學的學生可接種疫苗，這個數目實在有欠理想，大家也希望可以增加。
We do understand that it is less than satisfactory to provide influenza vaccination for students from a mere 50 to 60 schools in each of the past years and we hope that the number can increase
梁國雄先生，請立即離開公眾席。
Mr LEUNG Kwok - hung please leave the public gallery immediately
陳志全議員，請把你的展示牌放低一點，因為它阻礙了我的視線。
Mr CHAN Chi - chuen please lower your placard as it blocks my vision
主席，各位議員，為了讓各位議員有更多提問時間，我將會作很簡單的發言。
President of the Legislative Council Honourable Members I will only make a very brief speech so that Members can have more time to ask questions
我的發言主要想感謝各位議員在過去數個月，包括在我仍是候任行政長官期間，與我見面，表達了相當多意見。
First and foremost I would like to thank Members for meeting me and providing me with quite a lot of comments during the past few months including the time when I was the Chief Executive - elect
當中不少意見，已納入昨天公布的施政報告。
Many of these opinions have been taken up and written into the Policy Address delivered yesterday
本屆政府將致力改善行政立法關係，這是我們良好管治的重要一環。
The current Government is committed to improving the relationship between the executive and the legislature which is an important segment of our good governance
我與我的司局長亦會身體力行，配合立法會的工作。
My Secretaries and I will take practical steps personally to dovetail with the work of the Legislative Council
昨天公布施政報告後，很多人關心，具體的政策措施有那麼多，是否都可以順利執行和落實。
Since the announcement of the Policy Address yesterday many people have been wondering whether the large number of concrete policy measures can all be executed and implemented smoothly
我的回應是，行政機關會盡最大的努力，盡快制訂這些措施背後的細節，然後提交立法會討論，希望立法會能盡早按市民的期望，支持及通過由行政機關提出的各項建議。
My response is the executive will do its utmost to formulate the details of these measures as soon as possible and then submit them to the Legislative Council for discussion . We hope the Legislative Council in line with peoples expectation can support and endorse the various proposals put forth by the executive as soon as possible
至於接下來如何改善行政立法關係，我會應立法會議事規則委員會的建議，多來立法會。
With regard to how to improve the relationship between the executive and the legislature from now on I am going to visit the Legislative Council more often at the suggestion made by its Committee on Rules of Procedure
我會騰空日程出席答問 會，回應大家的提問。
I will shuffle my schedule to make way for the Question and Answer Sessions during which I will respond to Members questions
我希望以後這種與議員的互動能成為常態，讓我們可以互相坦誠地交流意見，有助於我們推行為市民而做的具體政策。
In the future I hope that this kind of interaction with Members will become a norm enabling us to sincerely exchange ideas and facilitate the launch of concrete policies that are made for the public
成立委員會和設立基金本身是解決不到問題，是用來滿足一下大家的要求，或減省一些壓力。
The setting up of commissions and funds cannot help solve problems and serve any purpose other than answering peoples insistence or lessening some pressure
最重要的是政府的行為，我們的措施中包含了我們對於香港中產的支持。
The most important things must be the Governments acts and the provisionof assistance to the Hong Kong middle class in our policies
在房屋階梯中，我們要考慮中產難買私樓的情況，於是，我們便排除萬難構思出"首置上車盤"。
Regarding the housing ladder we note the difficulties of the middle class in purchasing private residential properties so we have sought to overcome all difficulties and introduced the Starter Homes for middle - class people . This is also the case even with the simple measure of providing transport fare subsidies
即使簡單如交通費津貼，我本來都只是說幫基層，在政綱也是，但大家又覺得交通費津貼無謂要分基層、中產、有錢人，所以設計了這套簡單易明、易於操作的方案。
At first I intended to cover the grass - roots people only and I in fact stated so in my election platform . But then we have come to think that we do not really need to classify people into the grass roots the middle class and the rich for the provision of transport fare subsidies . As a result we have instead designed this simple and easy - to - operate scheme
如果中產人士不是駕車返工，而是乘搭公共交通工具上班，他們亦可受惠於交通費津貼計劃。
If any middle - class people commute to work by public transport rather than driving they can likewise benefit from the Public Transport Fare Subsidy Scheme
因此，我可以向張宇人議員說，我們在設計各式各樣的政策時，都會考慮當日你們通過這個議案時對於香港中產的關心。
I can tell Mr Tommy CHEUNG that in the formulation of policies in various areas the Government will consider Members concerns over the middle class as raised during the passage of the motion
主席，如果"長毛"仍然坐在我前面，他一定會問特首，為何她寧願推出全民交通津貼，也不肯推行全民退休保障？
President if Long Hair still sat before me he would definitely ask the Chief Executive why she would rather introduce universal transport subsidy than agree to implement universal retirement protection
如果羅冠 聰仍然坐在我左邊，他一定會問特首，她昨天說與青年同行，說青年議政、論政和參政，但是，最有抱負，最願意議政、論政和參政的年輕人在她代表的政權下，現時陸陸續續被捕入牢，如何同行？
If Nathan LAW still sat on my left he would definitely ask the Chief Executive one question . Yesterday she talked about connecting with young people and encouraging their participation in politics as well as public policy discussion and debate . But under the political regime she stands for the most idealistic of our young people those who are keenest to participate in politics as well as public policy discussion and debate are arrested and jailed one by one
不過，主席，我想問的是關於我一直以來覺得社會上最弱勢，有特殊需要的兒童，以及體弱不能自理的長者。
So Nathan LAW would definitely ask the Chief Executive how she could possibly connect with young people . But President the question I want to ask is about the people whom I have always regarded as the most vulnerable groups in society―children with special needs and infirm elders lacking any self - care ability
特首昨天在施政報告提及要做到"零輪候"，即是這些小朋友如果有需要，會立即幫他們。
The Policy Address delivered by the Chief Executive yesterday mentions the objective of zero - waiting time meaning that children in need will receive immediate assistance
同樣地，體弱的長者和殘疾人士即時獲得照顧，社會便不會出現那麼多倫理悲劇。
This is likewise important to infirm elders and persons with disabilities because if they can receive immediate care services there will not be so many family tragedies in society
"零輪候"是非常崇高的口號，但我恐怕可能只是停留在口號，因為現時有特殊需要的小朋友，尤其是情況嚴重的，其實仍在輪候特殊幼兒中心。
Zero - waiting time is a very lofty slogan but I fear that it may remain a mere slogan because at present children with special needs particularly those in serious conditions must still wait for places in Special Child Care Centres SCCCs . As at today 1 537 children with special needs are still waiting for SCCC places
現時有37777個長者正在輪候院舍，他們全是經過評估，證實是體弱不能自理，需要社區照顧服務，不是閣下所說增加6000張社會服務券便能解決。
At present 37 777 elderly people are awaiting residential care services . They have all undergone assessment and are proven to be infirm lacking self - care ability and in need of community care services . Such service needs cannot be met simply by increasing the number of Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly to 6 000
所以，主席，在人口老化下，在有需要的兒童的成長需要下，我想請問特首可否說說"零輪候"是如何得以落實？
Therefore President may I ask the Chief Executive how she can achieve zero - waiting time in the face of the ageing population and the developmental needs of children with special needs
我不希望她只喊口號，希望她會認真落實，實幹地檢討現時的政策不足。
I hope that instead of simply chanting a slogan she will seriously work for it and pragmatically review the deficiencies of the current policies
這不是口號，張議員，這是一個很大的承諾，亦是很大的資源承擔。
Dr CHEUNG this is not a slogan . Rather it is a great pledge and also a huge commitment of resources
但是，這很大的資源承擔，為何我當上特首後能夠跨出這一步呢？
Yes it is a huge commitment of resources but why do I still manage to take such a stride after becoming the Chief Executive?
是因為我有一個理財新哲學。
It is because I uphold a new fiscal philosophy
如果不做這些比較在早期可以投入資源處理得到的問題，後期的問題就更難解決，亦要花更多資源。
If we do not confront those problems which can in fact be tackled by resource investment at the early stage they will turn more difficult to resolve at later stage demanding even greater resources
