以病人的健康為先、緊守崗位，亦是醫護人員一貫的專業精神，以及社會大眾對醫護人員的期望。
It has also been the professionalism and the expectation of the general public for the healthcare professionals to accord priority to patients health and stand fast at their posts
今年2月3日至7日期間部分醫管局員工的缺勤情況曾經影響公立醫院服務。
The absence from duty by certain HA staff during 3 to 7 February this year affected public hospital services
其中，專科門診和其他非緊急服務減少了約四成至六成。
For example specialist outpatient clinics SOPC services and other non - emergency services were reduced by about 40 % to 60 %
服務受較嚴重影響的部門包括新生嬰兒深切治療部、急症科、產科及心導管實驗室服務 等。
Departments that were more severely affected included the Neonatal Intensive Care Units the Accident Emergency AE Departments Obstetrics Departments and Cardiac Catheter Laboratory services etc
當中有部分預約剖腹手術和癌症治療需要延期、1間急症科病房因人手不足需要關閉，而部分聯網的預約通波仔服務亦需要延期。
In particular certain elective cesarean operations and cancer treatments were deferred an Emergency Medicine Ward in AE Department was closed owing to insufficient manpower while some elective percutaneous coronary intervention procedures in certain hospital clusters were also deferred
政府和醫管局已多次呼籲缺勤的醫護人員盡快返回工作崗位，避免影響公立醫院服務和病人治療。
Meanwhile the Government and HA repeatedly urged healthcare staff who were absent from duty to return to work as soon as possible to avoid affecting public hospital services and treatment of patients
就葛珮帆議員提問的各部分，經諮詢醫管局後，我綜合回應如下。就今年年初有工會提出發起工業行動，醫管局於2月2日已公開呼籲醫護人員緊守崗位，希望員工以協商形式尋求共識，並重申有關行動不符合病人利益，會直接影響公立醫院服務。
In consultation with HA my consolidated reply to Ms Elizabeth QUATs question is as follows Regarding the industrial action initiated by a staff union early this year HA called on healthcare staff on 2 February to stay on duty and seek consensus through discussion
醫管局並於同日召開中央指揮委員會，檢視各醫院聯網服務和人手情況，以作出相應部署，包括大幅調整專科門診和普通科門診服務，以及削減五成的預約手術和物理治療及職業治療門診服務。
HA reiterated that such action was not in the interests of patients and would directly affect public hospital services . On the same day HA convened the Central Command Committee to review the services and manpower situation in various hospital clusters and made corresponding arrangements including significantly adjusting SOPC and general outpatient clinic GOPC services as well as reducing elective surgeries and physiotherapy and occupational therapy outpatient services by 50 %
截至今年10月31日，醫管局總辦事處共接獲約7,000宗相關的意見反映、求助或投訴，當中27宗涉及對個別病人的服務影響。
As at 31 October this year HA Head Office has received about 7 000 related views requests for assistance or complaints . Among them 27 cases concerned service provision for individual patients
我們了解醫管局已跟進有關個案，與病人或其家屬聯繫，並提供適切的協助。
We understand that HA has followed up these cases and approached the patients concerned or their families to provide them with assistance as appropriate
醫管局至今並沒有接獲經法庭提出的相關索償個案。
So far HA has not received any claim for compensation pursued through the courts
另外，醫管局得悉約有7,000名員工在上述期間的不同日子沒有按時上班。
Furthermore HA noted that around 7 000 staff members did not report for duty as scheduled on various days in the aforementioned period
醫管局已於今年10月初就相關員工缺勤的事宜向有關員工發信，請他們確認信內的缺勤日期是否正確及向他們了解缺勤的原因。
In early October this year HA issued letters to the staff members concerned requesting for their verification of the days of absence as stated in the letter and explanation on their absence from duty
醫管局目前正在整理個別員工的回覆，並會參照法律意見及相關《僱傭條例》、僱傭合約及人事規例，以合情、合理、合法的方式公平處理。
HA is currently processing the replies from individual staff members and will follow up the matter in accordance with legal advice the Employment Ordinance relevant employment contracts and human resources regulations in a fair reasonable rational and lawful manner
病人的福祉是政府和醫管局的優先考慮。
The well - being of patients is the top priority of the Government and HA
醫管局作為公營醫療服務提供者，一直致力為市民提供專業及一視同仁的醫療服務，並提醒員工不應因為不同立場或背景，令病人誤會公立醫院未能恪守醫護的專業守則，甚至影響公立醫院服務。此外，醫管局的員工在履行職責時，需符合醫管局的相關規例和守則。醫管局員工亦需遵守衣着守則，向病人、服務使用者及市民展示專業的形象。
As a public healthcare service provider HA has been striving to provide professional and equitable healthcare services for the public and has reminded its staff to avoid leading to misperception from patients that public hospitals could not adhere to the code of conduct for healthcare professionals or even affecting public hospital services due to difference in stances or background
主席，我衷心感謝所有在抗疫期間盡忠職守的醫護人員，但在香港的非常時期，有7000名醫管局員工參與罷工5天，差不多是醫管局員工的十分之一，這是非常嚴重的行為。
President I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the healthcare personnel who are highly dedicated to their duties during the fight against the epidemic . Yet 7 000 staff members of HA accounting for almost one - tenth of the HA staff participated in the five - day strike under such an exceptional circumstance in Hong Kong . This is extremely serious
主席，我剛才提到的情況當然並不符合大眾的期望，亦不符合公眾利益。
President the situation that I have mentioned just now certainly does not live up to public expectation nor is it in the public interest
一直以來，醫管局接獲投訴後均會徹查及處理，亦會發信提醒員工必須致力保障和維護醫管局及其個人的聲譽、專業形象及品格操守，員工在履行職責時要符合醫管局的規例和守則，亦須遵守人力資源的整體政策。
As a long - standing practice HA will conduct thorough investigation and handle complaints received and it will also issue letters to its staff members reminding them of the importance of protecting and safeguarding the reputation professional image as well as conduct and integrity of HA and themselves . Staff members must comply with HAs regulations and codes and the overall human resources policy when discharging their duties
主席，醫管局作為僱主，已有既定機制處理員工違反守則的情況，他們一定會嚴肅處理。
President as an employer HA has an established mechanism to handle violation of codes by its staff members . They will certainly handle it seriously
主席，雖然我沒有參與罷工，亦因為擔任立法會議員後，身份只屬半職醫生而無法加入工會，所以並非工會會員，但我留意到，罷工是勞資雙方的事情。
President I did not participate in the strike nor am I a member of the staff union because I cannot join the union as I am merely a half - time doctor after serving as a Member of the Legislative Council . Despite that I have noticed that a strike is an issue between the employer and its employees
我想追問局長，醫管局就罷工事件與勞工處接觸了多少次、討論內容為何，以及會如何處理我們現時討論的事宜呢？
I have this follow - up question for the Secretary For how many times has HA contacted the Labour Department LD with regard to the strike the matters discussed and how will they deal with the issues that we are currently discussing?
主席，現時提到的缺勤情況當然是勞資雙方的問題，但我手邊沒有關於醫管局曾否與勞工處聯絡、聯絡次數及討論內容的資料。
President the absence from duty that we are now discussing is of course an issue between the employer and its employees . Yet I do not have at hand the information on whether HA has contacted LD the number of such contacts and the matters discussed
局長，你認為醫管局應如何向她們作出賠償？
Secretary what do you think HA should do to compensate them?
當然，你不能代表罷工的工會回答，但局長覺得醫管局應如何處理呢？
Of course you cannot reply on behalf of the staff union which organized the strike but Secretary how should HA deal with it in your opinion?
主席，我會將這個問題交由醫管局處理。
President I will have this issue handled by HA
葛珮帆議員在主體質詢提到，有醫管局員工在這次重大疫情下，利用政治手段進行罷工，對整個醫護界造成負面影響。
Ms Elizabeth QUAT mentioned in the main question that some HA staff had resorted to political tactics to stage a strike during this major epidemic which had an adverse impact on the entire healthcare sector
主席，醫管局作為僱主，已經設有既定的機制，亦有人事規例和員工守則，以規管和處理有關員工的行為和紀律事宜。
President as an employer HA has an established mechanism as well as human resources regulations and code of conduct to regulate and manage issues in relation to the conduct and discipline of staff
當然，如果醫管局發現有員工違反這些守則或人事規例，他們一定會嚴肅和嚴謹地處理，在符合《僱傭條例》和僱傭合約等的大前提下，當然亦會按照人事規例和法律意見，公平、公正地跟進。
Certainly if HA discovers there is violation of these codes or human resources regulations by its staff members HA will in compliance with the Employment Ordinance and the employment contracts etc deal with the matter seriously and prudently and follow it up in accordance with the relevant human resources regulations and legal advice in a fair and impartial manner
主席，其實我越聽越生氣。
President actually I am getting more and more angry while listening to all these
其實我一直認為醫院不應該是發表政治訴求的地方，怎能在醫院內張貼那些標語呢？
In fact I always believe that hospitals should not be used as a venue for expressing political demands . How could they display those slogans in hospitals?
此舉非常影響病人的心理狀況，令他們質疑究竟這些醫護人員會否因為政治立場而作出選擇，因而優先處理某些病人，延遲處理某 些病人呢？
This would have a great impact on the psychological state of the patients making them query whether these healthcare staff would make a choice due to their political stance such that they would give priority to certain patients and delay the treatment of others?
其實健康是用錢買不到的，延遲醫治便是延遲了，永久傷害便是永久傷害了，所以我希望醫管局和局長都會道歉，請問局長是否願意這樣做？
In fact health cannot be bought with money delayed treatment is delayed and permanent damage is permanent damage . Therefore I hope both HA and the Secretary will make an apology . Is the Secretary willing to do so?
主席，我要強調，這次工業行動是直接影響了病人的安全和健康，正如我剛才所說，當中包括不少病情危重的病人。
President I must emphasize that this industrial action has a direct impact on the safety and health of patients . As I have said earlier they include quite a number of patients in critical conditions
因此，我在這裏也要特別多謝一些盡心盡力的醫護人員所付出的努力和貢獻。
Therefore here I would also like to thank those dedicated healthcare staff for their hard work and contribution
代理主席，我發言支持張宇人議員動議的議案。
Deputy President I rise to speak in support of the motion moved by Mr Tommy CHEUNG
代理主席，眾所周知，全球面對新冠疫情衝擊，歐美等地的醫療系統幾乎已完全崩潰。
Deputy President as we all know the healthcare systems in places such as Europe and the United States have almost collapsed completely in the face of the blow dealt by the global COVID - 19 pandemic
香港在連續3波疫情下，情況亦十分嚴峻，負壓病房曾幾度迫爆，非緊急醫療服務也須暫停，亦因為有員工罷工，令一些醫護人員被迫長時間當值。
The situation in Hong Kong which has been hit by three epidemic waves in a row is also very critical . The isolation wards have been overloaded on several occasions whereas non - emergency medical services have to be suspended as well . Some healthcare staff were forced to stay on duty for a prolonged period of time due to a strike
資源短缺導致公營醫療"爆煲"，凸顯了香港醫護人手不足、輪候時間太長的問題，而香港醫療系統"迫爆"已非一兩天的事情。
The shortage of resources has resulted in the overburdening of the public healthcare system highlighting the problems of healthcare manpower shortage as well as excessively long waiting time in Hong Kong . Actually the overburdening of the public healthcare system in Hong Kong did not occur overnight
眾所周知，香港現時醫護人手短缺的嚴重程度是極具迫切性，有同事剛才表示不覺得具迫切性，我不知道他是如何得出的。
As we all know the healthcare manpower shortage is an extremely pressing problem in Hong Kong nowadays . Just now an Honourable colleague said that he did not find any urgency in the issue . I wonder how he came up with this view
要判斷一個社會的醫療系統是否健全，可以參考醫生人口比例。
We can judge whether a society has a sound healthcare system by referring to the doctor - to - population ratio
根據食物及衞生局2018年的數字，每1,000人只有2名註冊醫生，這已是兩年前的數字，不知道今時今日的情況有否改善，我希望副局長稍後能夠回答我。
According to the figures provided by the Food and Health Bureau there were only two registered doctors for every 1 000 people in 2018 . This is the figure two years ago I do not know if the situation has improved now and I hope the Under Secretary can answer me later . Looking back at the figure 10 years ago ie
回顧10年前的 數字是每1,000人只有1.9名醫生，差不多10年後只增加了0.1名。
in 2010 there were only 1.9 doctors for every 1 000 people so the number has merely increased by 0.1 after almost 10 years
代理主席，根據經濟合作與發展組織，就目前的問題而言，對比其他國家，香港真是大落後，而原因只有一個。
Deputy President according to the Organisation for Economic Co - operation and Development Hong Kong is indeed lagging far behind other countries as far as the present problem is concerned and there is only one reason behind it
代理主席，我們依靠現時政府小修小補的方法是行不通的，我覺得一定要從源頭處理，探討如何增加註冊醫生。
Deputy President we cannot rely on the Governments present approach of doing just minor patch - up work . In my opinion we must deal with the problem at the root and explore means to increase the number of registered doctors
代理主席，你聽到剛才的數字也會感到憂慮，因為你也是透過地區選舉進入議會。
Deputy President you would also feel worried when you hear the figures that I have quoted just now for you were also elected to the legislature through a district election
老實說，醫生與病人的比例失衡，會令公立醫院的輪候時間越來越長，我覺得這是一個老問題，亦是街知巷聞、不用多說的問題。
To be honest the imbalance in the doctor - to - patient ratio will lead to ever - increasing waiting time in public hospitals . I reckon this is a long - standing problem which is well known to the public and needs no further elaboration
我希望政府真的要急市民所急，要"接地氣"。
I hope the Government would really address the pressing needs of the public with a down - to - earth attitude
因此，民主建港協進聯盟和我一直在立法會不同的委員會要求增加註冊醫生人數，以紓緩公立醫院人手不足的問題。
Therefore the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong and I have been voicing out our request for increasing the number of registered doctors in different panels and committees of the Legislative Council with a view to alleviating the manpower shortage problem in public hospitals . There is a famous quote by members of the community which they wish I can tell the Under Secretary in my speech today
老實說，在數年前，相關法案未能在立法會會議上 首讀，令我非常失望。
To be honest I was bitterly disappointed when the relevant bill was unable to receive first reading at the meeting of the Legislative Council a few years ago
不過，我覺得要做到三贏局面，政府便真的要考慮如何輸入一些醫生，此舉能夠在提高質素之餘，亦有助解決現時的深層次問題。
However I think that in order to achieve a win - win - win situation the Government really has to consider how to import some doctors . This will not only improve the quality but also help solve the deep - seated problems before us
然而，我看到政府可能覺得現時情況理想，沒有甚麼需要改變，但我要提醒政策局的同事，今天問題尚未"爆煲"，但早晚有一天會"爆煲"，只不過屆時擔任這個職位的人是否同一人，抑或已經退休，我不知道，但我希望他們能夠多想一步，無論是5年或10年的規劃，我覺得都是今天應該要做的。
Yet I wish to remind colleagues in the Policy Bureau that whilst the problem has not yet burst out today it will burst out sooner or later . But I am not sure whether the same person will still be in this position or has already retired by then . Nevertheless I hope they can think about it further whether it is a 5 - year or 10 - year plan I think it should be done today
代理主席，我經常說一句話，做事千萬不要"有姿勢，無實際"，政府千萬不要再"嘆慢板"，我認為今時今日的政府必須坐言起行，勇於承擔，以創新思維來處理這些長年累月仍未能解決的問題。
Deputy President I often say that we must never pay lip service only and do nothing practical . The Government must not adopt a laid - back attitude anymore . I believe that at the present time the Government must act on its words be bold enough to make commitments and think out of the box when handling these problems which remain unresolved for years
既然今天能夠在議事廳討論此事，我希望政府的同事也能夠下定決心，如果業界有意見或不同聲音，便想辦法與他們商議，但最重要的是，政府真的要面對現實，否則這個問題只會令我們的醫療系統，甚至是不同專科門診的輪候時間越來越長。
Since this issue is discussed in the Chamber today I hope colleagues in the Government will have the determination to strive to discuss with the relevant sector if it has any views or different voices . But most importantly the Government indeed has to face up to the reality otherwise this problem will only lead to an increasingly long waiting time for our healthcare system and even that for various specialist outpatient clinics
代理主席，我這番發言語重深長、用心良苦，我要告訴政府，無論結果如何，政府真的要去想辦法。
Deputy President what I have said is with all sincerity and well - intentioned . I wish to tell the Government that no matter what the outcome is it really has to figure a way out
代理主席，最後，我支持張宇人議員的議案，亦希望政府不要再"嘆慢板"，必須繼續做好這項工作。
Deputy President lastly I support Mr Tommy CHEUNGs motion . I also hope that the Government will no longer adopt a laid - back attitude and it must continue to do a good job in this respect
代理主席，我發言支持陸頌雄議員的原議案，以及陳恒鑌議員的修正案。
Deputy President I speak in support of Mr LUK Chung - hungs original motion and Mr CHAN Han - pans amendment
代理主席、局長，我特意製作這幅圖供局長看，這並非合成圖，是現時九龍東的日與夜。
Deputy President Secretary I have specifically prepared this image for the Secretary . This is not a composite image but a day and night view of Kowloon East
我今天想從數方面與局長討論這問題。
Today I would like to discuss this issue with the Secretary from several aspects
第一，基建與現實脫節；第二，以鐵路為主要出行方式的政策；第三，泊車位；第四，控制車輛登記。
First disconnection between infrastructure and reality; second the policy of using railways as a major mode of transport; third parking spaces; and fourth control on vehicle registration
我相信局長也知道，運輸及房屋局轄下有土木工程拓展署、運輸署及房屋署，但這些部門給我的感覺很多時候是"左手打右手"，甚至未能做到"運房一家親"。
I believe the Secretary also knows that there are the Civil Engineering and Development Department the Transport Department and the Housing Department under the Transport and Housing Bureau THB . But these departments give me the impression that there is infighting among them and even the departments in charge of transport and housing cannot present a united front
此外，將軍澳─藍田隧道和T2主幹路的落成日期未能配合實際情況，將藍隧道在2021年年底落成，而T2主幹路則在2026年完成。
In addition the dates of completion of the Tseung Kwan O - Lam Tin Tunnel TKO - LTT and Trunk Road T2 will be unable to cope with the actual situation . TKO - LTT will be completed in late 2021 and Trunk Road T2 will be completed in 2026
我告訴局長，屆時也不知道會發生甚麼事，但塞車的情況每天依舊。
I would like to tell the Secretary that no one knows what will happen by then . But traffic congestion continues day after day
如能興建東九龍綫，能有效紓緩山上的居民，包括秀茂坪、四順、安達邨和藍田居民的出行。
If the East Kowloon Line can be constructed it can effectively alleviate the transport problems of residents on the hilltop including residents of Sau Mau Ping Sze Shun On Tat Estate and Lam Tin
局長，政府是否應藉現時市中心重建，進行一些優化的工作？
Secretary should the Government not take advantage of the current urban renewal to undertake some improvement work?
此外，就泊車位方面，局長，我一直推動"一地多用"，希望不同政府物業可以更有效用作泊車用途，以解決路面的交通擠塞問題。
In addition in respect of parking spaces Secretary I have long been promoting a single site multiple uses model with the hope that various government properties can be used more effectively for parking purposes thus resolving traffic congestion problems on the roads
我非常欣賞陳健波議員剛才的發言，他提出了很多可行的建議供政府考慮。
I very much appreciate Mr CHAN Kin - pors speech just now in which he raised quite a number of recommendations for consideration by the Government
但是，如果不在源頭上妥善控制車輛的登記，車輛數目每天增加，只會令問題與日俱增，根本無法解決現時塞車的問題。
However if the registration of vehicles is not properly controlled at source the number of vehicles will keep increasing day after day and the problem will only be deteriorating . We will basically be unable to resolve existing traffic congestion problems
代理主席，我想指出，如果我們想有效改善交通擠塞，運房局肩負很重要的任務。
Deputy President I would like to point out that if we want to effectively alleviate traffic congestion THB must shoulder heavy responsibilities
我希望他們真的能夠多想一些辦法，高姿態地告訴市民，政府有決心、有能力以新思維解決問題。
I hope that they will come up with more ideas and tell members of the public in a high - profile manner that the Government is determined and able to think outside the box and solve the problem
代理主席，我重申，我今天支持陸頌雄議員的原議案，以及陳恒鑌議員的修正案。
Deputy President I reiterate that I support Mr LUK Chung - hungs original motion and Mr CHAN Han - pans amendment today
我亦希望局長能夠就剛才議員的發言，給予我們一點希望。
I also hope that the Secretary can have regard to Members speeches just now and give us a ray of hope
雖然我們沒有水晶球，看不到將來會如何，但我希望當局能有長遠規劃，讓每件事可以逐步到位，實現我們的夢想。
We have no crystal ball to see the future but I hope that the authorities can make long - term planning so that we can finish each task step - by - step and realize our dreams
多謝代理主席，我謹此陳辭。
Thank you Deputy President . I so submit
代理主席，我發言支持張宇人議員的議案。
Deputy President I rise to speak in support of Mr Tommy CHEUNGs motion
我認為，議案的建議不但有望紓緩公營醫療系統醫生不足，解決市民看病難、輪候時間過長的難題，還有望提升香港公營醫療服務的整體質素。
In my view the proposals made in the motion hopefully do not only alleviate the shortage of doctors in the public healthcare system and resolve the difficulties faced by the public in seeking medical treatment and the overly long waiting time but also raise the overall quality of public healthcare services in Hong Kong
對於這項令病人以至全港市民受惠的議案，我是全力支持的。
I fully support this motion which will benefit patients and the people in Hong Kong at large . Facts speak louder than words
事實勝於雄辯，公立醫院醫生不足導致的問題，早已浮現。
The problems caused by the shortage of doctors in the public healthcare system have emerged for a long time
只要曾經使用過公立醫院服務的市民都知道，到公立醫院看急症，最少要等候三四小時，才可以見到醫生。
Anyone who has ever used public hospital services knows that when you go to a public hospital for emergency treatment you have to wait at least three to four hours before you can see a doctor
如果遇到流感高峰期，更要輪候10小時以上，而專科門診、內科及眼科診症的輪候時間，更為嚴峻。
During the influenza surge the waiting time is more than 10 hours and the waiting time for specialist outpatient medical and ophthalmology consultations will even be worse
根據醫院管理局公布的數字，截至今年6月30日，九龍東聯網眼科新症的輪候時間，冠絕全港，最長可達172星期，即約3.5年。
According to the figures released by the Hospital Authority as at 30 June this year the waiting time for new ophthalmology cases in the Kowloon East Cluster was the longest in Hong Kong reaching 172 weeks or about 3.5 years
這些數據令人觸目驚心。
These figures are alarming
香港是一個國際大都會，但是，市民生病時去看急症要等候數小時，看專科甚至要等候數年。
Hong Kong is an international metropolis and yet when people fall ill they have to wait for hours for emergency treatment and even years for specialist consultations
增加公立醫院的醫生人數，縮短病人輪候的時間，已是政府不能迴避的問題。
Increasing the number of doctors in public hospitals and shortening patients waiting time is an issue that the Government cannot avoid
增加公立醫院的醫生人數，方法無非兩個：第一，加強培訓本地醫生；第二，輸入有經驗及有質素的非本地培訓醫生。
There are only two ways to increase the number of doctors in public hospitals first enhance the training of local doctors; second import experienced and quality non - locally trained doctors
前者無疑是遠水不能救近火，要解決患者的燃眉之急，輸入有經驗及有質素的非本地培訓醫生，是目前唯一的選擇。
The former is undoubtedly distant water that cannot put out a fire nearby . To meet the pressing needs of patients importing experienced and quality non - locally trained doctors is the only option at present
不過，眾所周知，要輸入非本地培訓醫生，絕非易事，尤其是獲賦予權力處理本港執業醫生註冊的香港醫務委員會，一直持極保守的態度，予人"醫醫相衞"、"專業霸道"的明顯印象。
However it is common knowledge that it is not easy to import non - locally trained doctors . It is particularly so as the Medical Council of Hong Kong MCHK which is empowered to handle the registration of medical practitioners in Hong Kong has adopted an extremely conservative attitude giving people the distinct impression of doctors defending doctors and professional hegemony
我無意在此批評醫委會，我只希望香港的醫者都能有一顆"父母心"。
I do not intend to criticize MCHK here . I just hope that doctors in Hong Kong can all have a benevolent parent - like heart
我想他們知道，醫生之所以享有崇高的地位，並不是因為他們高薪厚職，而是因為醫生有救死扶傷的醫德，這才是醫生這份職業崇高的地方。
I believe they know that doctors are held in high esteem not because they earn handsome salaries but because they hold fast to the ethics of saving lives and curing the wounded which is the nobility of the profession
因此，我希望醫委會將來檢視是否輸入海外醫生時，不要總是將個人利益放在首位，不要為了保着自己的"金飯碗"，便無視病人長時間輪候的苦況，更不要動輒質疑非本地培訓醫生的專業水平、含沙射影地攻擊非本地培訓醫生不懂英語。
Therefore I hope MCHK when examining whether or not to import overseas doctors will not always put its self - interests first . It should not turn a blind eye to the plight of patients who have to wait for a long time for the sake of keeping their lucrative jobs nor should it question the professional standards of non - locally trained doctors and attack them by insinuating that they do not know English
畢竟，這種行為是十分狹隘自私的。
After all such behaviour is exceedingly bigoted and selfish
我相信，只有將病人及市民的福祉放在首位的醫生，最終才會贏得社會的尊重。
I believe that only doctors who put the well - being of patients and people first will ultimately win societys respect
代理主席，很多人將公立醫院醫生不足、病人候診時間過長的問題，全部歸咎於醫委會。
Deputy President many people put all the blame on MCHK for the shortage of doctors in public hospitals and the overly long waiting time for patients
但是，我認為問題的根源是政府卸責避難。
However I consider the root of the problems lies in the Government shirking its responsibilities and avoiding difficulties
畢竟，公立醫院候診時間長，已是香港的陳年舊病。
After all the long waiting time at public hospitals has been an age - old chronic disease of Hong Kong
但多年來，政府對此一直束手無策，任由醫委會主宰整個公營醫療服務。
Yet over the years the Government has been at its wits end allowing MCHK to control the entire public healthcare system
即使明知醫委會將行業利益凌駕於公眾利益上，政府最多只是說一句"遺憾失望"便了事，從來沒有積極尋求解決的方法，簡直好像怕了醫委會一樣，實在令人失望。
Despite being well aware that MCHK has put the interests of the profession before public interests the most the Government can do is to express regret and disappointment and thats it . It has never proactively sought a solution to the problems as if it is afraid of MCHK . This is truly disappointing
代理主席，民生無小事，與市民生老病死息息相關的事情，政府不應袖手旁觀。
Deputy President no livelihood issue is too trivial . The Government should not stand idly and do nothing about matters that are closely related to the life and death of the people
