照顧者全天候留在家中照顧家人，其實減輕了政府的負擔，但政府給予他們的支援，竟然少之又少。
The fact that carers stay at home to take care of their family members round the clock helps relieve the Governments burden but the support they receive in turn from the Government is unexpectedly minimal
即使現行的照顧者現金津貼，每月亦只得2,400元，但申領門檻高，而最令人匪夷所思的是，這項津貼竟非恆常措施，只被納入關愛基金項下，每3年續期1次。
Even the current cash allowance for carers is only 2,400 per month but the threshold for application for the allowance is high . Most astonishingly the provision of such cash allowance is not a regular measure and is only placed under the Community Care Fund where renewal is required every three years
自2014年至今，一直以試驗模式運作，欠缺遠景規劃，可見政府並不十分重視這項措施。
The disbursing of cash allowance has been in operation on a trial basis since 2014 without any long - term planning . From this we know that the Government does not attach much importance to such measure
我的議案建議長遠設立完善的照顧者支援制度，由政府、專業服務機構及照顧者三方共同訂立照顧服務協議，為有需要的被照顧者提供專業服務。
My motion proposes to set up a comprehensive carer support system in the long run with the formulation of care service agreement by the three parties namely the Government professional service organizations and carers to provide professional service for those in need of care
專業服務機構須按被照顧者的需要，與照顧者訂立全面照顧及支援協議，當中包括必須培訓照顧者、定期進行探訪和監察服務質素等的條款；照顧者則須按協議規定，向被照顧者提供專業照顧；而政府亦須按照服務機構的審核及評估，每月為照顧者提供合理 津貼。
The professional service organization should enter into a comprehensive care and support agreement with the carer based on the carers needs which must include the terms of offering training to the carer paying regular visits and monitoring of service quality . On the carers part he or she should provide professional care to the subjects being cared for in accordance with the agreement . As to the Government it should provide the carer with a monthly allowance of reasonable amount based on the performance review and assessment done by the professional service organization
我們倡議設立照顧者支援制度，是希望透過劃一和深化服務制度，令支援機構及照顧者本身趨向專業化。
We advocate the establishment of a carer support system in the hope that by standardizing and deepening the system both the supporting organizations and the carers themselves will become more professional
長遠而言，當照顧者變得專業，便可在日後無須照顧家中被照顧者的日子，幫助一些獨居或無助人士，相信這將有助大大紓緩社會老齡化帶來照顧不足的壓力。
In the long run when the carers have become professional carers they will be able to when they do not need to take care of their needy family members on certain days help take care of those who live alone or are lacking in self - care abilities in future . This will greatly help relieve the burden arising from inadequate care in an ageing society
一個完善的制度不可能一蹴而就，按照政府的一貫程序，至少需時三兩年，方可成事。
A comprehensive system just will not come into being overnight . It will take at least two or three years for a sound system to be set up according to the Governments usual procedures
政府其實未能針對服務需求採取適切措施，亦忽略了這群照顧者。
In fact the Government has failed to take appropriate measures to meet the service demand and has neglected this group of carers
當然，如有充足資源的話，便應為他們開辦一些專業技巧訓練課程。
Of course training courses on professional skills should be organized for them subject to the availability of sufficient resources
據我了解，社署現與一家非政府機構合作，並已在社區設立10家"社區照顧者咖啡室"。
As far as I know the Social Welfare Department is now working with a non - governmental organization and has set up 10 carer cafés in various districts
雖然名為咖啡室，但其實每月只營業約一兩天，而每次營業時間亦只得兩三小時，大家可以想象成效如何。
Regardless that they are called cafés they are actually open for only one or two days a month and just two to three hours each day . One can imagine the effectiveness of the scheme
不過，即使服務時間有限，但總較沒有的好。
Yet even though the service hours are much limited it is better than none after all
我們期望以此為起點，將來可以把短期試驗計劃納入長期政策，並擴大服務內容和加長服務時間，方便照顧者隨時入內歇息。
We hope the Government will take this as a starting point and incorporate such a short - term pilot scheme into the long - term policy in the future with service contents enriched and service hours extended so that carers can drop in any time to take a break
代理主席，我們真的要讓照顧者有時間歇息，暫時卸下照顧人的責任，好好料理自己的身體，調息一下，紓緩壓力。
Deputy President we do need to allow carers the time to take a break and relieve themselves of their caring responsibilities for a while so that they can take good care of their own health relax and relieve stress
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：梁志祥議員動議的議案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Mr LEUNG Che - cheung be passed
代理主席，現時全港有超過數十萬名不同類型的照顧者，每天默默地承受着非常沉重的壓力，無論是身體上或精神上均感 到非常疲乏無力，相信當中不少照顧者更深感無助，情緒非常不穩，以致精神健康變差，瀕臨"爆煲"邊緣。
Deputy President at present there are hundreds of thousands of carers of various kinds in Hong Kong silently carrying a very heavy burden every day feeling exhausted and lethargic both physically and mentally . I believe many carers also feel utterly helpless and emotionally unstable which has worsened their mental health and put them on the verge of breakdown
在疫情下，照顧者面對的壓力和困擾，比過往更大及更嚴重，他們極度需要政府和社會的支持和鼓勵。
Amid the epidemic carers have been suffering greater pressure and more serious distress than before . They are in dire need of support and encouragement from the Government and the community
所以，我在此感謝梁志祥議員提出"加強對照顧者的支援"議案，再次喚起社會對照顧者的關注；更重要的是，希望能夠喚醒政府以積極態度正視這些問題，在政策層面加強對照顧者的支援，減輕他們的壓力，同時建立一個更有愛及有更多關懷的關愛社會。
Therefore I would like to thank Mr LEUNG Che - cheung for proposing the motion on Enhancing support for carers which arouses public concern for carers once again . More importantly hopefully this will be a wake - up call to the Government that these issues should be addressed in a proactive manner by enhancing the support for carers at policy level thereby alleviating their pressure and building a more loving and caring society
代理主席，近年香港發生多宗懷疑因照顧者壓力"爆煲"而引致的家庭慘劇，包括去年9月初葵涌邨一名母親涉嫌勒死其智障兒子，相信與智障兒將滿21歲而須離開院舍回家居住、母親在照顧上感到巨大壓力有關。
Deputy President there have been a number of family tragedies allegedly due to overwhelming pressure on carers in Hong Kong in recent years . For example in early September last year a mother was suspected of strangling her intellectually disabled son to death in Kwai Chung Estate . It is believed that the mother felt tremendous caregiving stress as her son was soon required to leave the residential care home and return home on reaching the age of 21
今年4月北角發生兩老倫常命案，一名行動不便、身體漸差的老伯伯要獨力照顧患柏金遜症多年的老伴。
In April this year a fatal family tragedy involving an elderly couple occurred in North Point . An elderly man with impaired mobility and deteriorating health had to look after his long - time spouse who had suffered from Parkinsons disease on his own for many years
有一天，老伯伯選擇在家中上吊，而他的太太被發現時亦已不省人事，最後兩人終告不治。
One day the elderly man chose to hang himself at home and his wife was also found unconscious . Both of them were certified dead subsequently
這些悲劇實在令人非常難過，"一宗也嫌多"，但同時亦揭示政府過去對照顧者的支援是否嚴重不足，以致有這些情況發生呢？
Such tragedies are indeed terribly saddening and one such incident is already too many . Do they reveal that the serious lack of support from the Government for carers in the past was the cause of such incidents?
照顧者友善政策是否欠完善？
Is the carer - friendly policy inadequate?
制度是否存在漏洞？
Are there any loopholes in the system?
甚至個別部門是否亦有失職之嫌呢？
Or could it even be that some departments are derelict of their duties?
根據政府統計處的資料，香港有超過20萬名"同住照顧者"，而照顧者一般是指需要照顧有特殊學習需要的兒童、殘疾人士、長者及長期病患人士的人，大多數為被照顧者的親屬/家人。
According to the Census and Statistics Department there are over 200 000 live - in carers in Hong Kong . For carers they generally refer to those who need to take care of children with special education needs persons with disabilities elderly persons and persons with chronic diseases . Most of them are the relativesfamily members of the care recipients
在"同住照顧者"中，有近六成人每周照顧時數超過40小時，有一成人每周照顧時數更高達100小時。
Among those live - in carers nearly 60 % provide care for over 40 hours per week and 10 % even provide care for as long as 100 hours per week
照顧者和被照顧者其實都需要被關顧。
In fact both carers and care recipients need care and attention
代理主席，照顧者在家居照顧方面可能面對不少困難，我認為可以利用科技幫忙，雖然科技未能完全解決所有問題，但最少也可提供一定程度的協助。
Deputy President carers may face quite a lot of difficulties in providing home care . In my view they may turn to technology for help . Although technology may not be able to solve all the problems it can at least provide some degree of assistance
早前樂齡科技博覽暨高峰會展示了多項科技，以協助進行各項遠程服務，讓服務使用者安在家中仍能與家人、治療師、輔導人員等保持聯繫，達致居家安老及家居復康的目標。
Earlier the Gerontech and Innovation Expo cum Summit showcased many technologies that facilitate the provision of various remote services . They enable the service users to communicate with their family members therapists counsellors etc . while at home thereby achieving the objectives of ageing in place and home rehabilitation
除此以外，這些樂齡科技除了能幫助這些長者和照顧者，亦可協助安老及殘疾院舍員工，提高他們的工作效率及減低勞損機會。
Besides assisting elderly persons and carers gerontechnology may also help enhance the work efficiency and minimize the physical strain of the staff of residential care homes for the elderly or persons with disabilities
有研究指出，香港的照顧者政策有三大問題，包括公營服務名額不足、服務安排難以配合家庭需要，以及市場上提供的服務收費高昂。
Some studies suggest that there are three major problems with the carer policy in Hong Kong including insufficient places of public care services difficulties in arranging services to meet family needs and exorbitant fees charged by service providers in the market
我希望梁志祥議員的議案能得到大家的支持，獲得通過；他提出的建議非常豐富和全面，希望政府能殷切考慮。
I hope that Mr LEUNG Che - cheungs motion will be supported and passed by Members . His suggestions are very rich and comprehensive in content and I hope that the Government can give them due consideration
此外，政府過往以家庭照顧模式制訂政策已不合時宜，因為家庭照顧模式建基於傳統家庭觀念，包括"男主外，女主內"的觀念。
Moreover the Governments past approach of using the family caregiver model as the basis of policy formulation is outdated because this model is based on traditional family concepts including men being breadwinners and women being homemakers
照顧家庭被認為是女性的天職，令婦女一直成為家中的主要照顧者，令她們的需要往往被忽視，甚至出現不平等情況。
Due to the belief that women are born to take care of their families they have all along been the main carers in families . As a result their needs are often neglected and worse still inequalities exist
政府在制訂照顧者政策時有否考慮這些因素呢？
Has the Government considered these factors in formulating the carer policy?
我希望政府能夠做主導，連繫社會上不同持份者，在照顧層面上共同承擔責任，加大力度，為照顧者提供一個有更多關心、支援和鼓勵的社會。
I hope that it can take the initiative to bring together various stakeholders in society to take on the caring responsibilities together and make greater efforts to build a more caring supportive and encouraging society for carers
對於這項議題，我近數年有一定的了解，但我當然並不熟悉。
Speaking of this issue I have got to know more about it over the past few years but understandably I am not well - versed in it
我發現該處的寮屋、"牌照屋"或構築物有數大問題。
I noticed a few major problems with the squatter structures licensed structures or other structures there
第一，是寮屋區的人口、家庭及動物登記。
The first issue pertains to population household and animal registration in squatter areas
如果該處本身沒有人居住，他們根本便沒有這個機會。
If the area was not inhabited by anybody in the very first place they simply would not have any such opportunities
新界東北的發展，明顯已有這樣的問題。
The development of North East New Territories was obviously plagued by this problem
可幸的是，政府在數年後採用相對彈性的方法處理，但仍然遺留兩方面的問題，是未來兩個新發展區至今也沒有處理的行政問題。
Fortunately the Government adopted a relatively flexible approach a few years later but it has still left behind certain problems in two respects . Such problems are administrative problems that have remained unresolved even today in the development of two new development areas that follow
第一，是寮屋區內的動物登記。
The first problem is the registration of animals in squatter areas
雖然局方現時有所謂的"補底"政策，將動物轉介動物中心，但如果在清拆寮屋時居民獲安排"上樓"，這便等於要求他們棄養。
While it is true to say that the Bureau has now put in place a remedial policy of referring such animals to animal centres residents whose squatter structures have been demolished are virtually asked to abandon their animals if they receive public housing allocation
對於這問題，我希望局方注意這類寮屋 居民的各種特殊需要，而非將責任推諉予社會福利署或當區社工便作罷。
In this regard I hope the Bureau can pay attention to the various special needs of such squatter occupants rather than shirking its responsibility to the Social Welfare Department or local social workers
最後，是清拆寮屋的過渡安排有一大問題。
The last point is about a major problem with the interim arrangements concerning the demolition of squatter structures
因此，過渡政策是必須的。
So an interim policy is necessary
代理主席，我不知道大家是否記得，在去年防疫抗疫基金設計之時，只有我提出家庭主婦和家庭照顧者理應納入防疫抗疫基金的補償和資助範圍，但結果沒有。
Deputy President I wonder if Members remember that when designing the Anti - epidemic Fund AEF last year I was the only Member who proposed to include housewives and family carers as persons eligible for compensation and subsidies under AEF . And yet in the end they were not included
到了今天，大家看到，原來家庭照顧者或有特殊需要人士的照顧者需要金錢，需要生活上的補貼。
Today Members realize that family carers or carers of persons with special needs are in need of money and living subsidies
在一兩年的整個所謂防疫期間，他們脫離了自己的工作，回去照顧家人，出來後已被市場淘汰，怎麼辦呢？
During the so - called anti - epidemic period of one year or two these carers quitted their jobs to take care of their family members and were subsequently eliminated by the market . What can they do then?
老實說，我今次發言不會太悲觀，因為我不喜歡。
Frankly speaking my speech this time will not be too pessimistic because this is not my style
剛才很多議員發言時，提及這半年間發生的多宗悲劇事件。
When many Members delivered their speeches earlier they mentioned the numerous tragic incidents which occurred over the past six months
如果是因為有悲劇事件才想起有政策制訂的需要，這是社會悲劇中的悲劇，證明了甚麼呢？
If only tragic incidents can remind the authorities of the need to formulate policies this is indeed the greatest tragedy of all in society . What does this show us?
即是其實本質上，令我們需要正視人本服務、人與人之間的關係。
In fact it is essentially necessary for us to face up to the need of providing people - oriented services and the need of maintaining inter - personal relationships
我們的接觸有所改變，這是現實，但機構未必反映得到，政府便更加困難了。
It is a fact that our ways of contact have already changed but these changes are not necessarily reflected in the measures taken by the organizations not to mention the Government
不知道；第三，照顧者和被照顧者的人身安全，在這一刻，尤其是院舍服務停頓期間，是可以考慮的，照抄平安鐘那一套便可以，為何不考慮呢？
I do not know . Third it is the personal safety of carers and the care recipients . At this time particularly when the services of RCHs are suspended this is worthy of consideration
我感謝他今天提出寮屋這項重要的議題。
I wish to thank him for bringing up this important issue concerning squatter structures today
剛才多位同事皆提及，而特別是據我自己跟梁志祥議員一直處理寮屋問題的觀察所得，問題的精髓或癥結坦白說是政府本身過分嚴謹。
As said by various Members just now and in particular based on my observation from my handling of issues concerning squatter structures together with Mr LEUNG Che - cheung all along the essence or crux of this issue is frankly that the Government has been overly stringent
剛才多位同事皆提及，寮屋或"劏房"皆是逼於無奈形成的居住條件。
As rightly said by many Members just now squatter structures or subdivided units are living accommodations that have come into being due to the lack of other options
俗語有云："有頭髮，無人想做瘌痢。
As the common saying goes Nobody with hair wants to have scabies
"如果那些居民有辦法解決居住問題，我相信他們不會想居於寮屋。
If those residents can find a way to resolve their housing problem I do not believe any of them will want to live in squatter structures
他們居於寮屋，必定有過去的歷史背景。
There must be a historical background that can explain why they now live in squatter structures
當政府表示要清拆他們的寮屋時，他們彷徨的程度實在是非一般人所能想象的。
When the Government raises the necessity of demolishing their squatter structures their frustration is honestly inconceivable to ordinary people
從我親身處理的個案，以及我跟梁志祥議員一同處理的個案所見，寮屋居民都是老人家。
The cases I have handled myself and also those I have handled together with Mr LEUNG Che - cheung show that squatter occupants are invariably elderly people
何俊賢議員在其項議案中指出香港寮屋政策現時存在的問題，雖然他所說的"過渡政策"跟政府說的"容忍政策"在字眼上有異，但意思相同。
In his motion Mr HO has pointed out the existing problems with Hong Kongs policy on surveyed squatter structures . Although the term interim policy that he used is different from the toleration policy referred to by the Government in terms of wording both are actually of the same meaning
須知道，現時甚至連新界地區的一些雞屋和豬屋也被人用作居所，更有不良業主將該等寮屋改作"劏房"出租。
It should be noted that even some chicken sheds and pigsties in the New Territories are being used as dwellings nowadays and some unscrupulous owners have gone so far as to convert these squatter huts into subdivided units for lease
當年是因為人口太多，市民需要解決本身的經濟問題才會住寮屋，他們當時沒有錢，便用木和鐵皮搭建寮屋。
Back then it was due to over - population and people had to fix their own financial problems that they had to live in squatter huts . They just built squatter huts out of wood and tin as they had no money at the time
因此，我希望特區政府能採取人性化的做法，為這些居民提供安居樂業的機會。
Therefore I hope that the SAR Government can adopt a humanized approach and provide these people with the opportunity to live in peace and work with contentment
我今天無法列舉太多論點，但希望局長多為寮屋居民着想，制訂良好政策。
It is impossible for me to put forth too many arguments today but I do hope that the Secretary will make more efforts for the sake of those squatter dwellers and draw up good policies
主席，我首先感謝梁志祥議員提出這項題為"加強對照顧者的支援"議案。
President first of all I would like to thank Mr LEUNG Che - cheung for proposing the motion on Enhancing support for carers
便是照顧別人的人。
They are those who take care of others
照顧者需要照顧甚麼人呢？
What types of persons do carers need to take care of?
我相信這3類人士是最主要需要照顧者照顧的人。
I believe these three are the major types of persons who need carers to take care of
如果政府能夠幫輕一下甚至替他們照顧他們需照顧的人，那麼照顧者便沒有問題。
If the Government can ease the burden on carers or even look after the care recipients for them then they will not have any problems
在輕度殘疾或智障人士方面，我知道局長一直在想方法讓他們在香港繼續作出貢獻，例如為他們安排簡單的工作，讓他們可以照顧自己，培養自我價值，我認為這方向是對的。
Regarding persons with mild disabilities or intellectual disabilities I know the Secretary has been figuring out ways to let them continue to contribute to Hong Kong such as by arranging simple work for them so that they can take care of themselves and foster self - worth . I think this is the right direction
如何安排資源，便由局長處理。
How the resources should be allocated is a question for the Secretary
我相信，這才能真正幫助照顧者，紓解他們的憂慮。
I believe this can genuinely assist carers and allay their worries
我剛才聽到很多同事就着寮屋出現的問題發言，當然我們明白，議會內會有其他同事認為，現在社會應該要發展，寮屋是應該處理的，應該興建一些合乎效益的房屋。
I just heard many colleagues speak about the issues relating to squatter structures . We naturally understand that some colleagues in this Council share the opinion that society needs to develop and squatter structures should be dealt with so that some cost - effective housing can be constructed
這方面的論據，我們是明白的，特別是現時香港土地資源那麼珍貴的時候，政府要進行任何發展，或者要規管寮屋的發展，是絕對應該的。
We understand this aspect of arguments especially when the current land resources of Hong Kong are so precious and it is absolutely right for the Government to conduct any kind of development or regulate the development of squatter structures
如果寮屋的所在地，是政府打算發展的新發展區，而政府要進行發展規劃，這些地方會比較好，因為當局會進行人口凍結或甚麼等一套工作，雖然很多人也認為有關賠償方案......
In the event that the squatter structures are located in an area which is planned to be developed into a new development area by the Government and where development planning is to be carried out by the Government the situation will be better because the authorities will carry out a series of work including the freezing survey . Although many people think that the compensation arrangement President I have to be fair to the Secretary
不過，這是不太足夠的，如果我們要做，便要做得更加好、更加徹底，以解決居民遇到的問題。
Nevertheless this is far from enough . If we are to do it we need to do it in a better and more thorough way with a view to resolving the problems of the residents
局長，做好補償安置安排，其實是有好處的，可以加快整個清拆計劃和整個發展計劃，現在每次都是因為有數戶或10多戶而無法完成安置，加上補償安排令人不滿或沒有信心。
Secretary if compensation and resettlement are properly arranged this will actually bring benefits as it will speed up the entire demolition plan and the whole development plan . The present situation is that resettlement can usually not be arranged due to the issues with a few or a dozen households and the residents concerned are always dissatisfied with or have no confidence in the compensation arrangement
對於這些個案，我希望局長可以比較人性化地處理。
I wish that the Secretary can deal with these cases in a more humanistic way
正因為這些制度如此不人性化，令市民無法相信政府；基於市民不信任政府，政府在作出任何發展時，市民都會有很多猜疑，這亦會阻慢了發展進度。
It is precisely due to these non - humanistic systems that the public do not trust the Government . Owing to the lack of public confidence in the Government whenever there is any development from the Government the public will naturally be very sceptical about it and this will also delay the progress of development
所以，我支持何俊賢議員的議案。
Therefore I support Mr Steven HOs motion
代理主席，生老病死是人之常情，由嬰兒時期被父母照顧，到成人後開始要照顧身邊的老弱，到步入暮年需要人照顧，最後走完人生旅程。
Deputy President birth ageing illness and death are only natural in life . Babies are taken care of by their parents; after becoming adults they start to take care of the elderly and the weak around them . Upon entering their twilight years they need to be cared for by others before finally completing their journeys of life
所以每個人都有機會被人照顧，亦有機會成為照顧者。
Thus everyone has the opportunity to be taken care of and to become a carer
傳統的中國人家庭如果條件許可，一般都願意照顧身邊的老弱。
In traditional Chinese families people are generally willing to take care of the elderly and the weak around them if conditions permit
香港地少人多，生活迫人，許多家庭在面對需要有人照顧家中成員、而自己又無能力的情況下，都希望政府給予支援，但政府的支援卻十分有限。
Hong Kong is a small place with a large population and life is stressful . Many families which are unable to take care of their own members in need would expect the Government to give them support but such support is very limited
由於香港對老弱群體的配套不足，無形中加重對家中照顧者的壓力，經過日積月累，壓力"爆煲"時有所聞。
Due to a lack of support facilities for the elderly and the weak in Hong Kong carers at home are subject to greater pressure . The accumulated pressure had resulted in frequent incidents caused by unbearable pressure
近年，有發生照顧者殺害被照顧的家人繼而輕生的事件，聞者心酸，引起社會關注"以老護老"、"以殘護殘"的悲慘現象。
In recent years incidents have occurred in which the carer committed suicide after killing the family member being taken care of . While it is heartbreaking to hear of these incidents they have aroused social concern about the tragic phenomena of seniors caring for seniors and seniors caring for persons with disabilities PWDs
代理主席，常見的被照顧者有：患認知障礙症人士、有特殊照顧需要的殘障人士、無法自理的長者等。
Deputy President care recipients are usually dementia patients PWDs with special care needs elderly persons lacking in self - care abilities etc
目前輪候各項政府資助安老院舍的平均時間為24個月至26個月，而輪候殘疾人士院舍更長達超過10年。
At present the average waiting time for government - subvented residential care homes RCHs for the elderly RCHEs ranges from 24 to 26 months; and the waiting time for RCHs for PWDs RCHDs is even over 10 years
香港生育率低，邁進老齡化社會已是不爭的事實。
It is an indisputable fact that Hong Kong has a low fertility rate and is becoming an ageing society
根據政府統計處推算，65歲及以上人口的比例，將由2016年的17%，增加至2036年的31%。
According to the projection of the Census and Statistics Department the ratio of population aged 65 and above will rise from 17 % in 2016 to 31 % in 2036
照顧者群體會越來越大，對服務需求也會越來越殷切。
As the group of people requiring care grows in size service demand will also increase
由於相關支援服務相信不會短期內可以得到根本性的改善，我建議把現有資源用在最需要幫助的群體。
Since it is believed that the relevant support services will not be fundamentally improved in the short term I suggest that existing resources should be used on the group most in need
所以，我同意梁志祥議員的建議，設立照顧者數據資料庫，恆常收集照顧者的相關資料和數據，這樣除了可以協助制訂政策及規劃外，也可將個案分析、分類，辨別緩急輕重，把珍貴的資源用在最需要的人身上，減少資源錯配。
Thus I agree with Mr LEUNG Che - cheungs proposal of setting up a carer database for the regular collection of carer - related information and data . This will not only facilitate in formulating policies and planning but may also help analyse classify and identify priorities of cases so that precious resources can be used on people most in need thereby minimizing resource mismatch
其次，我亦同意在各區設立照顧者支援服務中心，為照顧者提供適切培訓及疏導情緒等服務。
Besides I also agree with the setting up of carer support service centres in various districts to provide carers with appropriate training and services such as emotional relief
除了讓照顧者獲得適當的技能，減少照顧時的身體勞損外，更重要的是讓照顧者不再感到孤單，讓處境近似的人可以互相鼓勵，遇到情緒困擾時可獲得專業的輔導，避免悲劇發生。
In addition to enabling the carers to acquire appropriate skills and reduce physical strain arising from giving care it is more important to make carers feel that they are not alone as people of similar circumstances can encourage one another . When carers are emotionally disturbed they can obtain professional counselling services so as to avoid tragedies
