如果他們認為外國水準這麼差，為何要獲取外國的證書、文憑，更要掛在門口"雞乸咁大隻字"呢？
If they find the standards of foreign countries so poor why did they obtain such certificates and diplomas in foreign countries and even display them at the entrance in such large prints that stick out like a sore thumb?
這是雙重標準，他們認為取得外國專科資格可以幫助提升自己的市場價值，但又不願在外國讀書的醫生回來執業。
This is a double standard . While they consider that the specialist qualifications obtained in foreign countries will help enhance their market value they do not want overseas trained doctors to return and practise here
這種自相矛盾的做法，我也不知如何向大家解釋。
This is so self - contradicting that I do not know how to explain it
無論如何，目前有另一個很大的問題，就是即使今日條例獲得通過，我們也不知道實際有多少人會回來、願意回來或決定回來。
In any event there is another major problem at the moment that is even if the legislation is passed today we do not know how many people will actually come back be willing to come back or decide to come back
這數目我們真的估算不到。
We really have no idea about the number
張宇人議員在法案委員會上吵得那麼要緊，就是希望開放予專科醫生。
That was the reason why Mr Tommy CHEUNG argued so passionately at the Bills Committee meeting that it should be open to specialist doctors
當然，政府現在願意接納，稍後的修正案我們也會支持。
Of course the Government is now willing to take on board his suggestion and we will support the amendments subsequently
至於非香港人將來可否一併引入，這方面可能需要一些時間再作考慮。
As to whether non - HKPRs can be admitted in the future it may require more time for consideration
此外，很多時候，有資料指出我們欠缺多少名醫生，但大家要知道，醫生分科分得很仔細。
In addition very often there is information on the shortfall of doctors in Hong Kong but Members should be aware that doctors are classified according to their specialization into many categories
在短期內，我認為應該加大公私營合作的空間。
In the near future I consider that more room should be created for public - private partnership
我知悉政府在法案委員會上曾詢問醫管局，他們表示已投放很多資源在公私營合作方面，但事實是仍未足夠。
I noted that the Government had asked HA at the Bills Committee meeting and they said that a lot of resources had been allocated for public - private partnership but the fact was that it was still inadequate
在我們未知確實有多少海外醫生會回流香港的情況下，我認為公私營合作是最大的出路。
Given that we do not know how many overseas doctors will actually return to Hong Kong I consider public - private partnership the best way forward
最後，主席，我相信在一兩年後，當我們知道實際有多少海外醫生願意來香港工作，可能又要再次修改法例。
Lastly President I believe one or two years later when we know how many overseas doctors are actually willing to come and work in Hong Kong there may be a need for another legislative amendment exercise
政府現時要禁止電子煙及加熱煙，我覺得電子煙是要禁的。
Now the Government is going to ban electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products HTPs . I think e - cigarettes should be banned
有一個朋友上星期才與我吃飯，他說他有肺氣腫。
A friend of mine with whom I had a meal last week said that he had emphysema
他說可能因為吸食太多電子煙，我說原來電子煙真的有這麼大的問題。
He replied that it was probably because he had smoked e - cigarettes excessively and I came to realize that e - cigarettes can really be such a big problem
在整個過程中，政府當然提出了很多醫學專家和教育界人士的意見，我都明白不要讓一些不吸煙的人有更多機會吸煙，尤其是年輕人。
Throughout the process the Government has of course put forward the views of many medical experts and members of the education sector . I understand that we must not allow more opportunities for non - smokers especially young people to smoke
所以，一下子"一刀切"，我覺得政府的討論空間太窄，而且這樣做會令走私活動出現，即走私加熱煙等。
Therefore when a ban is imposed across the board in one go I think the Government has allowed too narrow a room for discussion and worse still this will give rise to smuggling activities ie . the smuggling of HTPs etc
所以，容許拍戲時使用道具式的類似產品，我覺得應該不會有太大影響。
So I think it should not be a big problem to allow the use of similar products as props
在這方面，我覺得今日結果也是要禁的，只不過是在整整一年多兩年的討論過程之中，政府做得太飄忽，又肯又不肯，又不肯又肯，最終現在不肯，我們都沒有辦法，這項法案可能都會獲得通過。
In this connection I think the ban will ultimately be endorsed today just that in the course of discussion throughout the past year or two the Government was too capricious constantly changing its position and shifting between yes and no . Now it is eventually saying no . We can do nothing about it and this Bill will likely be passed
主席，根據"十四五"規劃，國家希望香港成為一個國際創科中心，"創科"可以研究和發明任何東西。
Chairman according to the 14th Five - Year Plan our country wants Hong Kong to become an innovation and technology hub and when it comes to innovation and technology anything can be researched and invented
原來現在香港的煙草業，也有數百人正在進行科研工作，科研工作是否研究一些新煙草，令人更加易上癮呢？
It turns out that there are hundreds of people in the tobacco industry in Hong Kong who are doing scientific research so are they researching new tobacco products that will be more addictive?
我不是一名煙民，所以我也不懂得回答，不過問題是，為何會在香港進行有關煙草的科研呢？
I am not a smoker so I do not know how to answer that but the question is why there is scientific research on tobacco in Hong Kong
正因為很多生產是在內地進行，然後出口到全世界，不是全世界所有地方也會禁止這些新型的煙草產品，這些新型的煙草產品，可能不會好像傳統煙那樣，產生那麼大的影響力，但問題是，如果《2019年吸煙條例草案》通過之後，連這些科研活動可能也會被扼殺，我覺得對於創科定位會有些影響。
Because many products are manufactured on the Mainland and then exported to the world not all places in the world will ban these novel tobacco products . These novel tobacco products may not have as much impact as conventional cigarettes but the problem is that even these scientific research activities will be throttled if the Smoking Amendment Bill 2019 is passed . I think this will somewhat affect the positioning of innovation and technology
雖然有人可以說，少做一樣便少做一樣，有甚麼big deal，有甚麼問題呢？
Some people may argue that it is not a big deal or problem to do one less thing
但是，問題是，如果訂立一項法例，這樣不准、那樣又不准， 但實際上卻跟公共衞生、社會的影響、市民的影響根本無關，根本沒有大影響的話，為何不容許一些科研在香港進行呢？
However the problem is that if a law is enacted to prohibit this and that and in reality it has nothing to do with or has no significant impact on public health society or the public why should scientific research not be allowed to be conducted in Hong Kong?
當然，局長剛才也有提及，她害怕容許這些新型煙類樣板流入香港，便會流入社區，甚至乎變成黑市，這個當然不會發生。
Certainly as mentioned by the Secretary earlier she is afraid that if these new tobacco samples are allowed to enter Hong Kong they will enter the community and even give rise to a black market . This will certainly not happen
我入口也是為了做科研，我自己也是有限量入口，只是為了研究產品開發，怎會無緣無故賣給黑市市場呢？
I likewise import products for scientific research and I import a limited quantity for product research and development only
加上業界也表示，現時已在香港僱用數以百計的人，進行產品科研，如果政府不准許，便要把所有人辭退，要科研便前往第二個國家，例如新加坡，新加坡也不准賣加熱煙、電子煙等產品，但容許這類型科研活動在那裏進行，即使不准人吸食，為何連研究也不可以？
In addition the industry has also said that hundreds of people are now employed in Hong Kong to conduct scientific research on products and if the Government does not allow it all of them will have to be dismissed . If they want to conduct scientific research they will go to another country such as Singapore where such research activities are allowed although the sale of heated tobacco products and electronic cigarettes is also banned . Even if people are not allowed to smoke why can they not conduct any research?
我覺得有點矯枉過正。
I think it is an overkill
主席，我有些事情不太明白。
Chairman there is something that I do not quite understand
所以，空運及海運都不要進入香港的範圍，這樣便最理想。
Therefore it would be most desirable if neither air nor sea freight should enter the territory of Hong Kong
但是，反正都是"過機"，只不過是飛機移至飛機，或者是貨車移至飛機或由貨車移到船上便駛走，即是那個邏輯不是很合理，所以應該直接連空運、海運及過境都不容許，這樣就合理很多。
But anyway we are talking about the transfer of cargoes which would be transported to elsewhere after being transferred from an aircraft to another or from a truck to an aircraft or from a truck to a vessel . That is to say the logic is not very reasonable . Therefore it would be much more reasonable if air freight sea freight and transhipment are not allowed straightaway
另外，關於可否入口一部分用作科研呢？
Besides can some products be imported for research and development RD purpose?
按相同的道理，為何你不容許人家入口一些樣板，可能是一盒半盒，用來做科研、去發展科研的產品？
By the same token why do you not allow people to import some samples maybe a box or two for RD purpose to develop RD products?
主席，科研現時是香港未來發展的一個重要部分......不好意思，我忘了問煙草業界，他們現時準備進行的科研是否關於令吸煙不會致癌，或令吸煙不會縮短壽命？
Chairman scientific research is an important part of the future development of Hong Kong I am sorry that I forgot to ask the tobacco industry if the scientific research they are now going to undertake is to make smoking non - carcinogenic or not life - shortening
食物及衞生局局長，你是否想再次發言？
Secretary for Food and Health do you wish to speak again?
代理主席，我發言想談談自由黨的修正案。
Deputy Chairman I would like to speak on the amendment proposed by the Liberal Party
其實剛才邵家輝議員也說了很多，我只想把特別註冊放寬至非永久性居民的專科醫生、合資格醫科畢業生未取註冊亦可回港實習，以及有限度註冊醫生可申請轉為特別註冊。
Since Mr SHIU Ka - fai has also said a lot about it just now I only want to have the special registration scheme extended to specialist doctors who are non - permanent residents allow eligible medical graduates who have not been registered to undergo internship in Hong Kong and allow medical practitioners with limited registration to switch to special registration doctors
自由黨歡迎政府接納我們的建議，開放實習名額。
The Liberal Party welcomes the Governments acceptance of our proposal to open up internship places
醫科畢業生須先取得實習經驗才能正式註冊，但若過程不順利，會耗上以年計的時間才能正式執業。
Medical graduates must first acquire internship experience before obtaining full registration but it may take years for them to be formally qualified for practise if the process is not smooth
一名醫科生已經完成6年或以上的課程，有相當豐富的醫學知識，若只因配對實習過程有阻礙而拖慢其執業進度，則變成浪費。
Having completed a course which lasted six years or more medical graduates should have rich medical knowledge . It will be a waste of resources if their practice is delayed merely by the difficulties in internship matching
香港嚴重欠缺醫生，應該開放實習名額給香港永久性居民和其子女及子女的配偶，吸引他們來港實習紓緩"醫生荒"。
Given the acute shortage of doctors in Hong Kong internship places should be opened to Hong Kong permanent residents their children and spouses of their children so that these people can be attracted to undergo internship in Hong Kong to alleviate the shortage of doctors
很老實說，我們已有政策讓香港永久性居民的子女回港，其實今次一併放寬永久性居民、其子女或其配偶做這件事，只不過是幫助我們遊說更多自己人回港工作，也可替我們每年節省60萬元，共360萬元來訓練一名醫生。
Frankly speaking we already have put in place a policy to allow the return of the children of Hong Kong permanent residents HKPRs . This time the policy is relaxed to allow permanent residents their children and spouses of their children to do the same . This move only serves to lure more of our people to return to Hong Kong for work and also achieves savings of 600,000 a year or 3.6 million in total for training a doctor
有人說此舉會剝削香港原有的資源，但其實納稅人無須繳付一分一毫。
Some people say that this will drain the existing resources of Hong Kong but in fact it does not cost taxpayers a single penny
剛才我說節省360萬元，便可多一名合格醫生，為何也不去做呢？
I just mentioned that there will be 3.6 million of savings as well as an additional qualified doctor so why do we not do it?
自由黨希望容許擁有"獲承認醫學資格"的非香港永久性居民的海外註冊醫生，若其生父或母或配偶為香港居民，均可透過"特別註冊"在港受訓及行醫。
The Liberal Party hopes that a non - HKPR doctor with overseas registration holding a recognized medical qualification will be allowed to receive training and practise in Hong Kong under special registration if heshe is a child born to a HKPR or a spouse of a HKPR
其實香港很多人才也計劃將其配偶的職業視作考慮條件，希望更吸引人回流扎根香港，貢獻香港社會。
Actually many Hong Kong talents will take their spouses career into consideration . It is hoped that more people will be lured back to Hong Kong take root here and contribute to our society
此外，自由黨認為，正如剛才邵家輝議員提到，在該100間大學畢業的便可以，在那裏學習的徒孫、徒弟可以來香港，但在那裏教學的卻被說成沒有資格，甚至我經常所說的史丹福大學的醫學院，為何 在那裏執業或在史丹福大學醫學院任教的不能來香港，但其學生卻可以呢？
Besides as mentioned by Mr SHIU Ka - fai a while ago the Liberal Party wonders why the graduates of those 100 universities are qualified and the students studying there can come to Hong Kong but those who have taught there are considered not qualified . Take Stanford University School of Medicine as an example . I often cite this as an example
我一直認為，政府應該不只考慮學歷，也應看看資歷。
I have always held that in addition to academic qualifications the Government should also consider ones credentials
代理主席，我希望貴黨可以支持自由黨的修訂。
Deputy Chairman I hope that your party can support the Liberal Partys amendments
對於陳沛然議員的修正案，其實正正在我昨天提出口頭質詢時也發覺，醫務委員會突然間可以改變很多事。
Regarding Dr Pierre CHANs amendment I found out when I raised my oral question yesterday that the Medical Council of Hong Kong could change many things all of a sudden
最好是讓醫學界代表"話事"，以後除了他們幾名少數派賺得盤滿缽滿之外，其他人人也不用做了。
It is best to let the representatives from the medical sector call the shots . Then in the future only a few of them in the minority can make a fortune while other people will have nothing to do
主席，今天要討論的是《2021年醫生註冊條例草案》，涉及我一直以來很關注的醫生人手短缺問題。
President todays discussion is about the Medical Registration Amendment Bill 2021 the Bill which involves my long - standing concern over the manpower shortage of doctors
這個問題其實存在已久，近年更持續惡化。
While this shortage has long existed it has been exacerbated in recent years
根據最新一輪的醫療人手推算工作結果，即使計及本地醫科畢業生的人數，香港在2030年和2040年仍會分別欠缺1,610名和1,950名醫生，為香港醫療系統帶來重大危機。
According to the results of the latest round of study on Healthcare Manpower Projection even after taking into account the number of local medical graduates Hong Kong will still be short of 1 610 and 1 950 doctors by 2030 and 2040 respectively indicating a major crisis to our healthcare system
政府一直透過不同渠道增加醫療人手供應，包括開放醫生的有限度註冊。
The Government has long been increasing the supply of healthcare personnel through different channels including the introduction of limited registration for doctors
現時，政府決定開闢一條新途徑，引入更多海外醫生，我舉腳贊成，唯一有所保留的是，《條例草案》規定海外醫生在取得專科資格後，只須在任何公營醫療機構全職工作5年，便可成為正式註冊醫生，我認為5年太短。
Now that the Government decides to create a new pathway to bring in more overseas doctors I will certainly stand up for it . However there is one thing that I have reservations about ie . under the Bill an overseas doctor will only be required to work full - time in a public healthcare institution for five years after obtaining a specialist qualification in order to get fully - registered
一直以來，我都很清楚，在香港醫生不足的情況下，公營的情況遠遠較私營嚴峻。
I consider five years too short a period . While Hong Kong is short of doctors I am always well - aware that the shortage is far more acute in the public sector than in the private sector
我作為做實政的議員，每當看到有問題，當然要極力爭取解決。
As a legislator doing real deeds I will go all out to solve whatever problems that come to my attention
因此，我曾多次在立法會的會議上表達意見，包括在3月25日的衞生事務委員會會議上指出，計劃的確可以吸引更多海外醫生，但不能排除將來很大機會有大量海外醫生透過計劃註冊後，隨即轉做私家醫生；終有一日，當私人市場飽和，私家醫生"搵唔到食"，計劃的誘因便會失效，令計劃"治標不治本"。
Therefore I expressed my views at various meetings in the Legislative Council including the meeting of the Panel on Health Services on 25 March that while the proposed scheme could attract more overseas doctors to work in Hong Kong there was a high chance that many of them would switch to private practice soon after they got registered under the scheme . Eventually the private market would become saturated making it hard for private doctors to make money . In that case the incentive provided under the scheme would lose its effectiveness making the scheme a mere palliative failing to solve the problem at root
其後，在7月14日和8月18日的法案委員會會議上，我再鍥而不捨地追問，政府會否就剛剛大學畢業、尚未接受任何專業培訓的海外醫科生，修改他們在公營醫療機構工作的規定年期，由5年延長至8年。
Afterwards at the meetings of the Bills Committee on 14 July and 18 August I repeatedly asked the Government whether it would propose an amendment to extend the specified period of employment from five years to eight years so that overseas medical graduates who were yet to receive professional training would be required to serve in public healthcare institutions for a longer period . Here I would like to clarify one thing
我想在此重申，我建議延長規定年期，並非因為反對聘請更多海外醫生，我只是為市民和政府着想，畢竟政府千辛萬苦找來海外醫 生，自然要設法盡量把他們留在公立醫院，這樣才可紓緩現時公營醫療系統的問題。
By proposing the extension of the specified period I do not mean to oppose the recruitment of more overseas doctors but simply want to help the people and the Government . After all it is by no means easy for the Government to recruit overseas doctors . We must hence make all efforts to retain them in public hospitals for as long as possible to alleviate the current problems facing the public healthcare system
再者，根據《條例草案》，尚未接受專科培訓的海外醫科生來港後，需要先行接受6年的專科培訓，然後才可到醫院工作。
Furthermore according to the Bill for an overseas medical graduate who has come to Hong Kong before receiving specialist training heshe must first receive six years of specialist training in Hong Kong before they can work in hospitals
在需要投資6年公帑的情況下，我認為要求有一個相當年數的回報是相當合理的。
Considering that the Government will have to invest in those overseas medical graduates by training them for six years with public funds I think it is reasonable to require them working in public hospitals for a considerable number of years in return
若是一名經驗豐富的醫生，即使只規定他須在公營醫療機構工作5年，我不認為有甚麼問題，因為我們沒有投放額外資源在他身上。
However in the case of an experienced overseas doctor as we do not have to invest any additional resources in training himher I think it is fine to just require himher to work in a public healthcare institution for five years
如果利用數字解釋，我建議將工作年期由原本規定的5年延長至8年，其實是變相為公立醫院增加六成人手，政府何樂而不為？
Let me explain my proposal with some figures . If the specified period of employment is extended from five years to eight years public hospitals will in effect have a 60 % increase in manpower
政府及部分議員擔心，這樣修改可能會減低計劃的吸引力，我對此不太認同。
Why does the Government not take my advice? . The Government as well as some other Members may worry that such extension will make the scheme less attractive but I do not think so
我跟很多前線醫生討論過，現時大部分醫科畢業生年約25歲，即使他們來港後要完成6年培訓，並在公立醫院工作5年，屆時也不過是36歲左右。
I have met with a lot of frontline doctors and come to the following view after our discussions . Given that most of the medical students currently graduate at around 25 years old even if they are required to receive six years of training in Hong Kong and work in public hospitals for another five years after training they will still be young at the age of about 36
不過，《條例草案》整體仍有很多好建議，唯獨此事令我有保留，所以在以大局為重的情況下，我會支持《條例草案》及政府的修正案。
I am really very disappointed However as the Bill contains a range of constructive proposals and the aforesaid issue is the only thing that I have reservations about I will support the Bill and the Governments amendments in the interest of the greater good
當時大家都知道是甚麼事，周圍都存在二手煙的問題，包括當時我的小朋友對我說那些。
Everyone knew what it meant at the time . The problem of second - hand smoke was everywhere just like what my child said to me
我作為暫時6名孫兒的祖父，為了新一代的健康，我是絕對支持全面禁止電子煙及加熱煙，但我想強調一件事，就是今天通過《2019年吸煙條例草案》只是一個開始，長遠而言，為了我們的下一代，政府應逐漸增加煙草稅，同時制訂一個時間表，禁止所有煙草產品，就好像我們電動車普及化路線圖，制訂於2035年或之前停止新登記燃油私家車一樣。
However I want to emphasize that the passage of the Smoking Amendment Bill 2019 today is just a start . In the long run for the sake of our next generation the Government should gradually increase the tobacco duty . At the same time it should draw up a timetable for banning all tobacco products just like the Roadmap on Popularisation of Electric Vehicles which provides for the cessation of new registration of fuel - propelled private cars in 2035 or earlier
無論繳交多少稅，都再沒有燃油車，最終將香港變成一個無煙城市。
No matter how much duty one is ready to pay there will be no more fuel - propelled cars and Hong Kong will eventually become a smoke - free city
主席，我的發言很簡單，就是這麼多。
President my speech is very simple . That is it
不過，香港市民想看醫生往往覺得苦不堪言，因為除被列為急症或重症的病人外，其他病人都會大排長龍，專科門診新症要輪候一兩年已司空見慣，急症室輪候多個小時亦是等閒事。
Nevertheless Hong Kong citizens always find it indescribably painful when they want to see a doctor because patients except those categorized as acute or serious will all be put in a very long queue . While one to two years of waiting for new cases at specialist outpatient clinics is already a common occurrence; hours of waiting in accident and emergency departments is not uncommon either
香港人看醫生要大排長龍有很多原因，其中一個主要原因是醫生不足。
There are many reasons behind the long queue for Hong Kong people waiting to see a doctor with one of the major causes being the shortage of doctors
醫生不足的問題已經困擾香港多年，目前預計至2040年短缺近2,000名醫生，業界相信實際情況更為嚴重。
The doctor shortage problem has plagued Hong Kong for many years . At present it is anticipated that there will be a shortfall of nearly 2 000 doctors by 2040 . The sector believes that the actual situation will be even worse
立法會已經多次討論有關問題，一直都束手無策，詳情我不再說了。
The Legislative Council has discussed the issue for many times yet remains clueless about it . However I am not going into the details again
今天政府採取施政新氣象，提出修訂《醫生註冊條例》，不但引進海外醫生，以解決醫生不足的問題，近日更果斷提出新修訂，進一步讓非香港永久性居民的海外醫生來港工作。
Now the Government puts on a new atmosphere of governance and proposes to amend the Medical Registration Ordinance . It not only seeks to admit overseas doctors to solve the doctor shortage problem but has even resolutely proposed new amendments lately to further allow overseas doctors who are not Hong Kong permanent residents HKPRs to come and work here
過去面對反對派瘋狂"拉布"，政府不敢提出引入海外醫生，今天不但敢做，而且夠膽徹底去做，解決市民的痛點，絕對是香港之福，我全力支持。
Previously the Government dared not propose the admission of overseas doctors in the face of the opposition camps crazed filibustering; now it not only dares to do so but also dares to get it done to sew up the sore for the people . This is definitely a blessing for Hong Kong
政府最新提出3項修訂：第一，容許持認可醫學及專科資格的非香港永久性居民醫生申請來港；第二，為具備專科資格的"有限度註冊"醫生提供銜接至正式註冊的措施；第三，容許未在香港以外地方實習的非本地培訓醫科畢業生來港參加執業考試。
I fully support it . The Government has proposed three latest amendments first allowing non - HKPR doctors holding recognized medical and specialist qualifications to apply for coming to Hong Kong; second providing measures for limited registration doctors holding specialist qualifications to bridge to full registration; third allowing non - locally trained medical graduates who have not undergo internship outside Hong Kong to come and take the Licensing Examination in Hong Kong . In the Governments original bill the first one was meant to provide for HKPR doctors to apply only
醫學界的說法，其實難以令人信服，相信廣大市民也不會認同，因為醫學界予人的感覺，只不過是自我保護，毫無考慮到病人的福祉，實在令人很失望。
The medical sectors argument is in fact hardly convincing . I think the general public will not agree to it either because the medical sector gives people an impression that they are overly shielding themselves without any consideration to patients welfare . This is indeed disappointing
事實上，政府已多次解釋，海外醫生並非"搶飯碗"，亦已保證會嚴格監管，醫專會繼續負責把關的工作，同時不會降低對醫生質素的要求，並且會由醫管局、衞生署及醫專建立三方平台，研究有關的專科培訓，以確保海外醫生的質素。
As a matter of fact the Government has repeatedly explained that the admission of overseas doctors is not meant to snatching rice bowls of local doctors and it has guaranteed that it will keep a close watch on the situation . HKAM will continue to be the gatekeeper . While the requirement on the quality of doctors will not be lowered a tripartite platform will be set up amongst HA the Department of Health and HKAM to look into relevant specialist training so as to ensure the quality of overseas doctors
最重要的是，這批海外醫生最少要在香港公營醫療機構工作5年，有足夠時間看清楚他們的質素和水 平。
Most importantly these overseas doctors have to work in Hong Kongs public healthcare institutions for at least five years thus there will be ample time to observe their quality and professionalism
我相信，醫學界如果真的擔心海外醫生的質素，最應該做的是協助醫專及醫管局做好監管工作，協助這批海外醫生融入香港社會，而不是盲目反對，讓病人繼續受大排長龍之苦。
I am convinced that if the medical sector really worries about the quality of overseas doctors it should then offer support to HKAM and HA in carrying out proper supervision and helping these overseas doctors integrate into Hong Kongs community rather than opposing blindly to let patients continue to suffer in long queues
事實上，引入海外醫生對公營醫院醫生也有好處，可以減低目前超長的工作時間。
In fact the admission of overseas doctors will also be beneficial to doctors of public hospitals for it can reduce the latters present super long working hours
有調査顯示，超過七成受訪年輕醫生出現工作過勞的情況，超過兩成人更有抑鬱。
A survey indicates that over 70 % responding young doctors were overexerted at work and over 20 % of them even had depression
所以，反對引入海外醫生對前線醫生特別是年輕醫生來說，亦不公道。
Therefore opposing the admission of overseas doctors is not fair to frontline doctors―particularly the young ones―as well
今次修例可以增加醫生的供應，但如果根源問題沒有解決，香港的醫療問題仍然無法徹底根治。
The current legislative amendment can increase the supply of doctors but Hong Kongs healthcare problems still cannot be utterly remedied if the root issues are not solved
事實上，很多醫學界人士也指出，今天醫療的種種問題，醫管局要負上最重要的責任。
Actually many members of the medical sectors also pointed out that HA has to bear the greatest responsibility for the various healthcare problems today
