凡此種種，對於本港醫療軟硬件的規劃都會有重大影響，政府必須全盤考慮，訂出一套靈活而周全的對策，進行改革。
As all these will have considerable impacts on the planning of healthcare software and hardware in Hong Kong the Government must consider these issues in a holistic manner and formulate a set of flexible and comprehensive strategies for reforms
至於這些改革，包括一個適切輸入非本地培訓醫生新機制的具體內容，當局應該按社會整體利益，盡速提出建議，超越過往的紛紛擾擾、小修小補，與醫學界及公眾商討。
Regarding these reforms including the specific details of a new mechanism for the proper importation of non - locally trained doctors the authorities should having regard to the overall interest of society expeditiously put forward proposals that go beyond the hassles and piecemeal remedies in the past and discuss with the medical sector and the public
代理主席，基於上述理由，我支持這項議案，謹此陳辭。
Deputy President for the aforesaid reasons I support this motion . I so submit
主席，關於香港醫療人手是否足夠這個問題，我相信在不同時間有不同說法，不同官員或不同人士也有不同說法。
President on the question of whether or not the healthcare manpower in Hong Kong is adequate I believe that the views vary with time and different government officials or people also have different views
以局長為例，當我跟她討論南丫島地勢偏遠，當地居民在有需要時缺乏醫護人員協助，因此希望當局在南丫島開設一間24小時診所時，局長便答 覆說醫護人手不足。
Take the Secretary as an example when I discussed with her the keen demand for setting up a 24 - hour clinic on Lamma Island given the lack of healthcare workers to assist residents living on the remote island in times of need the Secretary said that there was a shortage of manpower
當有醫護人員想組織罷工或發起工業行動時，他們又說"做死人"，指責人手不夠。
When some healthcare workers wanted to organize a strike or initiate industrial action they said they were drowning in work and lashed out at the shortage of manpower
可是，今天，當張宇人提出議案，要求輸入海外醫生或境外醫生來港紓緩香港醫療人手的問題時，他們又否認香港醫生人手不足。
Yet today when Mr Tommy CHEUNG proposed the motion calling for the importation of overseas doctors or non - locally trained doctors to alleviate the shortage of healthcare manpower in Hong Kong they denied the shortage of doctors in Hong Kong
其實，在不同時候，官員或不同代表也會講不同的說話，對於醫療人手是否缺乏、究竟應否輸入人手，這件事有如幻覺，他們只會按情況說他們想說的話。
In fact at different times government officials or different representatives will say different things . Whether we are lacking healthcare manpower and whether manpower should be imported is like an illusion . They will only say what they want to say depending on the situation
可是，當中有數項事實是局長或醫院管理局必須面對的。
Nonetheless there are certain facts which the Secretary or the Hospital Authority HA must face squarely
如果香港醫療人手足夠，請問在牙科服務中，為何公營醫療只能為市民剝牙，而不可為他們鑲牙或補牙呢？
If there is sufficient healthcare manpower in Hong Kong why public dental services merely provide tooth extraction service but not crowning or fillings?
因此，我希望局長告訴我們，現時輪候時間長是由於醫療人手不足，還是醫管局的效率太低呢？
Hence I ask the Secretary to tell us whether the long waiting time at present should be attributed to shortage of healthcare manpower or the low efficiency of HA?
如果是醫管局效率低的話，我曾在2019年6月5日於本會動議一項改革醫管局的議案，為何政府隔了一年也不願意做呢？
If it is due to the low efficiency of HA why is the Government unwilling to act on the motion I moved on 5 June 2019 in this Council on reforming HA even after a year?
截至目前，沒有人願意承認香港醫療人手是否足夠，所以我希望局長回答我們，究竟醫療人手的情況為何，以及她打算如何處理。
So far no one is willing to acknowledge whether the healthcare manpower in Hong Kong is adequate . Therefore I implore the Secretary to tell us about the manpower situation of the healthcare sector and what she intends to do about it
就是要到2022年，即在明年才可以完成6年的全科培訓，而如果要等他們完成專科便要等到2029年。
It will be 2022 . They will complete their six - year medicine programme next year and we will have to wait until 2029 for them to complete the specialist programme
我們再看新加坡，他們在2004年因應人口老化啟動了一項計劃，就人口老化問題想辦法。
Let us look at the situation in Singapore again . In 2004 they launched a programme in response to the ageing population to find solutions to the problem of an ageing population
在2004年設立委員會後，在2006年便立即提出新政策，就着人口老化調整一些政策，包括增加醫護培訓及病床數目、吸納海外醫生，同時提出支援活躍老人的措施，現時已經準備就緒了。
After setting up a committee in 2004 new policies were promptly proposed in 2006 to adjust some policies in the light of the ageing population including increasing the number of healthcare training places and the number of beds and admitting overseas doctors while at the same time introducing measures to support the active elderly . The relevant initiatives are now ready for implementation
別人在2003年開始做，在2006年已經有政策，現在已經準備就緒。
They started in 2003 and came up with the relevant policies in 2006 . Now they are ready for implementation
與香港相比，新加坡的醫療體系的容量正在不斷擴充，以回應人口老化，而他們亦要面對醫護新一輪的退休潮。
In comparison with Hong Kong the capacity of the healthcare system of Singapore is constantly expanding in response to the ageing population . Besides they are facing another wave of retirement of healthcare workers
在2009年，香港人口較新加坡多40%，而香港當時的醫生數目較新加坡多60%，但時至今日，我們人口仍然較新加坡多30%，但我們的醫生人手已經不及新加坡。
In 2009 Hong Kongs population was 40 % larger than that of Singapore and had 60 % more doctors than Singapore at the time . Yet today when our population is still 30 % larger than that of Singapore the manpower of doctors in Hong Kong is lagging behind Singapore
面對香港人口老化，以及醫生人手不足越來越嚴重的問題，政府今時今日只表示會興建更多院舍。
In the face of the ageing population in Hong Kong and the increasing shortage of doctors the Government so far has merely indicated that more hospitals will be built
可是，對於醫院增加病床後，醫生究竟從何來的問題，我未見政府有任何實質措施。
Nonetheless regarding where the doctors will come from after the increase in hospital beds I have not seen any concrete measures implemented by the Government
因此，我認為張宇人議員今天提出的議案相當值得政府參考，亦希望大家可以協助香港渡過老年期的發展。
Hence I think the motion proposed by Mr Tommy CHEUNG today warrants the Governments consideration and I hope Members can help Hong Kong cope with the development of the ageing population
主席，經翻查資料後發現，這項議案原應去年6月討論，積壓了足足一年，現在才能在立法會會議上討論，反映過去數年，立 法會不斷出現"拉布"阻礙，議會受嚴重干擾，令很多民生問題一拖再拖。
President having looked through the relevant information I found that this motion should have been discussed in June last year . It has been delayed for a whole year before it can be discussed at this Legislative Council meeting . This reflects that over the past few years constant filibustering acts have seriously disrupted the operation of the Legislative Council and many livelihood issues have been delayed again and again
今天我們終於可以回復理性討論，我感到非常高興。
I am very pleased that we are finally able to resume rational discussion today
我今天提出修正案，並不是反對陸頌雄議員的議案，而是希望透過我的修訂，補充和豐富有關措施，以及提出民建聯的倡議。
I have proposed my amendment today not because I oppose Mr LUK Chung - hungs motion . Rather I hope to through my amendment supplement and enrich the relevant measures and bring forward the proposals of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB
因此，民建聯支持原議案。
For this reason DAB supports the original motion
就道路擠塞的老大難問題，過去一段時間也有不同的說法，綜合而言基本上有3方面。
Regarding the perennial problem of traffic congestion there have been different views over a period of time and they can be summarized in three aspects
舉例來說，政府剛於今天宣布落實青嶼幹線豁免收費，這個做法相當好，我們早年已作爭取，去年的施政報告才答應落實，今年便推行這個做法。
For example the Government has just announced the implementation of toll waiver for the Lantau Link today . This is a very good initiative that we have strived for over the years . The Government undertook to implement this initiative in the Policy Address only last year and this year action has already been taken
所以，我認為要處理好現時隧道擠塞的問題，調整收費或者索性取消收費是一個好做法。
For this reason I think that adjust the tolls or abolish them altogether is a good way to properly address traffic congestion at tunnels nowadays
所以，我希望政府能夠早日引入電子收費系統，同時應該適當地取消某些地區的收費，順便便利市民。
For this reason I hope that the Government can expeditiously introduce an electronic toll collection system and abolish toll collection in certain areas for the convenience of the public
事實上，香港大部分隧道也是早年興建，收了這麼多年錢，應該取消收費，讓市民減輕出入的成本。
In fact most tunnels in Hong Kong were built quite a number of years ago . Since money has been collected for so many years toll collection should be abolished to reduce the transport costs of the public
局長剛才私下提到香港有九成市民乘搭公共交通工具出行，但最大的問題不是有九成市民乘搭公共交通工具，而是有九成人乘搭公共交通工具後，香港仍然擠塞。
The Secretary has indicated in private just now that 90 % of people in Hong Kong take public transport in their journeys . However the biggest problem is not that 90 % of people take public transport but that Hong Kong still suffers traffic congestion even though 90 % of people take public transport
原因不是市民堅持要開車，現已有九成多人使用公共交通工具，比例難以再提高，主要原因是香港車輛的增長與道路的增長不成比例。
The reason is not that people insist on driving as some 90 % of people take public transport and the ratio can hardly be further raised . The major reason is that the growth of vehicles in Hong Kong is disproportionate to the growth of roads
在2003年，香港大概有52萬部車輛，2017年有76萬部，增幅是46%，年增長是3%。
The number of vehicles in Hong Kong was some 520 000 in 2003 and some 760 000 in 2017 an increase of 46 % or an annual increase of 3 %
車輛數目在2019年進一步增加至79萬部，僅私家車已有56萬部。
The number of vehicles further grew to some 790 000 in 2019 among which private vehicles already accounted for some 560 000
數字遠低於香港每年的車輛增長率，道路無法配合車輛的增長。
The figure is far lower than the annual growth rate of vehicles in Hong Kong . Roads are unable to cope with the growth of vehicles
再者，關於修改《香港規劃標準與準則》，我在本會曾提出一項議案，議案通過後，2014年曾作出修訂，此後便一直也再沒有修改。
In addition regarding amending the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines I once proposed a motion in this Council . Amendments were made in 2014 following the passage of the motion . No further amendments have since been made
我希望政府可以就香港市民的最新情況，妥善作出有關修訂。
I hope that the Government can make the relevant amendments properly in the light of the latest situation of Hong Kong people
主席，感謝張宇人議員動議這項"制訂輸入非本地培訓醫生的新機制"的議案。
President I thank Mr Tommy CHEUNG for moving this motion on Formulating a new mechanism for importing non - locally trained doctors
首先，我在此表揚公立醫院內的大部分醫生，他們十分敬業樂業，為香港市民提供一流的醫療服務。
To start with I would like to commend the majority of doctors in public hospitals for their dedication and commitment to providing first - class healthcare services to Hong Kong people
我有一位同事最近擺街站時遭受襲擊，他前往公立醫院求診，醫院的服務非常好，一切支援相當理想，但最不理想的是甚麼呢？
Recently a colleague of mine was attacked while manning a street booth . He went to a public hospital for treatment where he received excellent services and the support was pretty satisfactory . Yet what was the most undesirable?
張宇人議員指出過往很多例子，香港的醫生是否有保護主義，變成排擠外來的醫生呢？
Mr Tommy CHEUNG cited a bunch of past examples . Do doctors in Hong Kong adopt protectionism such that they would edge out overseas doctors?
事實上，人手是不足的。
Insufficient manpower is a matter of fact
第二，政府無故把權力拱手相讓，為何自己有權也不去做，只是交給醫務委員會呢？
Second the Government has given away its power for no reason . Why has it not handled the matter even though it has the power to do so but just handed it over to the Medical Council of Hong Kong MCHK instead?
如果醫委會能夠寬鬆處理，不要設立那麼多關卡，在打開大門之後，仍保留很多中門未開，在打開中門之後，後面又有很多小門還未打開，這些一層一層的關卡，根本只是人為障礙。
If MCHK can be more lenient in handling this matter and do not put up so many barriers―there are many doors remain in the middle although the main door has been opened and there are still many small doors behind after opening the middle doors . These layers and layers of barriers are merely man - made obstacles
我有位朋友，是一名漁民，居於長洲，他兩個膝蓋也不妥，輪候了3年其中一個膝蓋才能接受手術，然後要再輪候3年才做另一個膝蓋的手術，接着他就離世。
I had a friend who was a fisherman and lived in Cheung Chau . He had problems on both knees . He had to wait for three years for one of his knees to be operated on and then he had to wait for another three years for the operation on the other knee
他們在此爭取他們的政治利益，這便是他們 最大的前提，而這亦延伸至香港的醫療系統，包括上次的政治罷工，對嗎？
They were drumming up their political advantages here . That has been their biggest premise which they have extended to the healthcare system of Hong Kong including the previous political strike right?
因此，延至今天，大家對內地醫療水平的問題仍是一知半解，屬於非常片面的程度。
Therefore up until now people still only have a sketchy knowledge of the healthcare standards in the Mainland which is extremely one - sided
然而，懂得說普通話的人，又或是說其他地區方言而不懂英語的人又有多少呢？
However how many people who can speak Putonghua or other dialects but do not speak English?
從這方面來看，內地人才來港也有優勢。
In this respect Mainland talents and professionals who have come to Hong Kong do have their edge . Let me cite an example
其實，每年也有很多從內地來港的市民需要這部分的服務。
In fact every year a lot of people coming to Hong Kong from the Mainland need such services
何俊賢議員，請立即停止發言。
Mr Steven HO please stop speaking immediately
主席，我感謝24位發言的同事，我們終於可以在議會認真討論民生議題。
President I would like to thank the 24 Members who have spoken . We can finally discuss livelihood issues seriously in the legislature
其實，我覺得他是在火上加油、見死不救、草菅人命。
In fact I think that he is pouring oil on a flame leaving one in the lurch or showing scant regard for human life
醫護人手不足是不爭的事實，但老實說，現在大家都看到，他只是不斷把民生問題政治化。
The shortage of healthcare manpower is an indisputable fact . Frankly speaking however we can all see that he is incessantly politicizing livelihood issues
主席，我希望政府認真聆聽我們同事的發言，不要一直重提舊有一套的做法來回應。
President I hope that the Government will seriously listen to the speeches of Members and refrain from repeating the old way in its reply
多謝大家支持我動議的議案。
Thank you for supporting the motion moved by me
代理主席，過去10年，本港車輛登記數目每天平均增加3%，遠高於全港道路總長度只有不足1%的增長，可行駛的道路未能配合車輛的增長，導致本港的道路交通擠塞問題越趨嚴重。
Deputy President in the past 10 years the number of registered vehicles has increased by an average of 3 % per year which was way higher than the 1 % increase of the total length of roads in Hong Kong . The increase of drivable roads has not been able to keep up with the growth of the number of vehicles leading to the worsening traffic congestion in Hong Kong
政府在紓緩道路交通擠塞方面的工作令人失望，香港成為塞車之城，無疑大大增加市民的出行時間。
The Governments effort in alleviating traffic congestion is disappointing . Hong Kong has become a city of traffic jams and travel time has increased significantly
如果時間是金錢，香港人每天便因浪費時間在塞車之上而損失不少金錢。
If time is money Hong Kong people is losing a lot of money by wasting time on traffic congestion
由於塞車為香港帶來巨大的社會成本、經濟成本及環保成本，政府不能不正視。
As traffic congestion has incurred huge social economic and environmental costs to Hong Kong the Government cannot turn a blind eye to it at all
近年，私家車數目增加，除了因為新發展市鎮人口增加及區內的交通服務未能滿足市民需求，導致市民寧願買車代步，但我不得不藉此機會表達，私家車數目增加的原因之一，是政府打擊"白牌車"欠缺力度，令車主心存僥幸，利用其私家車從事非法載客取酬的違法活動，有多次被發現安排以沒有出租許可證的私家車接載市民的召車平台，更豪言他們在市場上有14,000名活躍司機。
The increase in the number of private cars in recent years can be attributed to the population growth in newly developed towns and the failure of transport services to meet the needs of local residents . As a result people would rather purchase cars for transportation . However I must take this opportunity to point out that another reason for the increase in the number of private cars is the Governments inadequacy in combating illegal car hire service
若政府能夠果斷地取締這些"白牌車"，道路上最低限度可以減少1萬多輛車行走。
At least 10 000 vehicles can be reduced on the road if the Government decisively bans illegal car hire service
若這1萬多輛"白牌車"等同的士般運作，實際在道路增加的車輛數目是數以十萬計。
If these some 10 000 cars for illegal car hire service operate just like taxis there are actually hundreds of thousands of additional cars on the road
代理主席，私家車一直被指是造成塞車的元兇，因為私家車的登記數目在過去10年快速增長，每年平均增長率為3.8%。
Deputy President private cars have always been accused of being the culprit of traffic congestion due to its rapid growth rate of 3.8 % annually in the past decade
政府曾透過增加車輛首次登記稅及牌照年費，藉此增加養車成本以減低私家車數目增長，但只是短暫收效。
The Government has tried to reduce the growth of private cars by raising the First Registration Tax and Annual Licence Fee in order to increase the costs of maintaining a car but the effect was short - lived
至於限制泊車位供應，最終私家車數目仍然有增無減，泊車位不足，反而加劇商用車輛的泊車問題，亦增加車輛在路上繞圈尋找泊位及違泊，導致道路交通擠塞的問題越趨嚴重。
The number of private cars kept on rising despite the limited supply of parking spaces . On the contrary the shortage of parking spaces has aggravated the parking problem faced by commercial vehicles and increased the number of cars searching for parking spaces on the road and parked illegally which has made traffic congestion even worse
易志明議員在上星期審議有關新一代路旁停車收費錶的法案時提到，現時全港有近80萬部車輛，但泊車位的數量遠低於車輛的數目。
In scrutinizing the bill on the new generation of on - street parking meters last week Mr Frankie YICK mentioned that there are currently 800 000 vehicles in Hong Kong but the number of parking spaces is way fewer than the number of vehicles
在泊車位不足下，政府還先後拆卸兩個位於中環美利道及尖沙咀中間道的多層停車場，而位於油麻地的多層停車場亦正分階段停止使用，令區內泊車位不足的問題加劇。
Despite the shortage of parking spaces the Government has still demolished the multi - storey car parks on Murray Road in Central and on Middle Road in Tsim Sha Tsui . Meanwhile the multi - storey car park in Yau Ma Tei is also being phased out thus aggravating the shortage of parking spaces in the area
為減少車輛在路上繞圈尋找泊位及違泊，政府應鼓勵私營停車場營辦商開放空置泊車位的實時資訊，提升泊車位使用的效率，多方面增加泊車位的供應，包括推出更多"專地專用"的臨時商用停車場，加 快開闢可供商用車輛在晚上停泊的路旁泊車位，全面允許小巴於晚上停泊在小巴站內，以及讓學童保姆車在晚上停放於相關學校內。
In order to reduce the number of vehicles searching for parking spaces and illegally parked on the road the Government should encourage private car park operators to release real - time information on vacant parking spaces improve the efficiency of parking spaces utilization and increase the supply of parking spaces by various means including providing more temporary commercial car parks on land dedicated for that purpose accelerate the provision of more night - time on - street parking spaces for commercial vehicles allow minibuses to park at minibus terminus at night and allow nanny vans to park in the relevant schools at night
除此之外，當局應鼓勵市民使用公共交通工具，強化公共交通工具的接駁，提高易達度。
In addition the Government should encourage the public to use public transport enhance public transport connections and improve accessibility
因此，自由黨建議政府應考慮設"公交專線"，放寬的士及小巴的上落客點。其次，當局要設置更多泊車轉乘設施，讓市民停泊車輛於市區以外的停車場，再轉乘公交到達目的地，減輕市中心的道路負荷。為紓緩交通擠塞的問題，政府正展開擠塞徵費的研究，讓載客率較高的車輛在使用政府收費隧道及道路時享有優惠收費，希望有關優惠收費能同時讓具經濟貢獻的貨車受惠。
For this reason the Liberal Party suggests that the Government should consider setting up dedicated lanes for public transport and relax the restrictions on pick updrop - off points for taxis and minibuses
代理主席，香港難以求醫，已經是社會上的重大問題。
Deputy President the difficulty in getting medical treatment in Hong Kong has been a major problem in society
公營醫院經常大排長龍，病人苦不堪言，即使看到醫生，也只有很短的診治時間，肯定無法接受深入的治療。
There are always long queues at public hospitals leaving patients miserable . Even if they can see a doctor they only have a very short consultation and so there is no way they can receive in - depth treatment
專科門診新症往往要輪候一兩年，而前線醫生更做到"有氣冇掟抖"，香港醫生不足是大家的共識，亦有清晰的數據支持。
New cases for specialist outpatient services often have to wait for one to two years and frontline doctors are even rushed off their feet . There is a consensus that Hong Kong faces a shortage of doctors which is also supported by clear statistics
張宇人議員剛才已經談及很多比例問題，我不再重複，總之簡單而言，香港的醫生比率十分低，如果要追上新加坡或南韓水平，最少差三四千名醫生。
Since Mr Tommy CHEUNG has already talked about many issues relating to the ratio just now I am not going to repeat them . In a nutshell the ratio of doctors in Hong Kong is very low . To catch up with the level in Singapore or South Korea a shortfall of at least 3 000 to 4 000 doctors will have to be met
將來，香港的醫療需求更加大。
In the future there will be an even greater healthcare demand in Hong Kong
根據政府統計處的統計，65歲以上人口會由2016年的116萬人上升到2036年的237萬人，令醫療需求急劇增加。
According to the statistics of the Census and Statistics Department the population aged 65 and above will grow from 1.16 million in 2016 to 2.37 million in 2036 leading to a drastic increase in the healthcare demand
另一方面，政府已預留3,000億元籌備第二個十年醫院發展計劃，興建更多醫院，包括重建瑪麗醫院、屯門醫院， 在伊利沙伯醫院現址興建新的醫院，以及擴建北大嶼山醫院等，估計將額外提供4,000張病床。
On the other hand the Government has earmarked HK300 billion for the second 10 - year Hospital Development Plan to construct more hospitals including redeveloping the Queen Mary Hospital and the Tuen Mun Hospital constructing a new hospital at the current site of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and expanding the North Lantau Hospital and it is estimated that an addition of 4 000 beds will be provided
不過，即使有新床位，如果醫生不足，也是得物無所用。
However even if new beds are available they will be useless if there are insufficient doctors
所以，從多方面來看，香港真的十分需要更多醫生。
Therefore judging from various perspectives Hong Kong is really in dire need of more doctors
政府雖然已經加緊培訓醫生，每年醫科生學額達500個，但醫院管理局每年都流失近400名醫生，大部分轉職至私營醫療體系，再加上醫生也會退休，結果醫生人手始終無法滿足醫療需求。
Although the Government has stepped up the training of doctors by offering 500 places for medical students each year the Hospital Authority HA is losing nearly 400 doctors each year most of whom have switched to the private healthcare system . This coupled with the fact that doctors will retire the supply of doctors is still unable to meet the healthcare demand
而且，這些醫科生畢業之後，仍需要經過長時間培訓，累積足夠經驗才能夠獨當一面。
Besides those medical graduates need to undergo a long period of training and accumulate sufficient experience to be able to work independently
所以，即使數量上可以填補流失的醫生，但實際上，在質素上也不大可能取代到有經驗的醫生。
Therefore even if they can fill the vacancies of departed doctors in terms of quantity they are in practice unlikely to replace experienced doctors in terms of quality
香港醫務委員會去年曾經討論豁免海外專科醫生實習安排的方案，雖然受盡社會批評，但最終只是通過一項十分保守的方案，即是海外醫生以有限度註冊的方式在醫管局、衞生署或大學醫學院任職3年，通過執業資格試後便可以正式註冊。
Last year the Medical Council of Hong Kong MCHK discussed the proposal to exempt the internship arrangement of overseas specialists . Despite a barrage of criticisms in society only a very conservative proposal was passed eventually that is overseas doctors may obtain full registration as long as they have worked in HA the Department of Health or medical schools of universities under limited registration for three years and have passed the Licensing Examination
這個方案基本上沒有甚麼吸引力。
This proposal basically holds little appeal
一名海外專科醫生要在公營醫院工作3年，還要通過執業資格試，真是相當荒謬，因為他其實已工作3年，但竟然要他回頭考執業資格試。
It is indeed quite absurd to require an overseas specialist not only to work in public hospitals for three years but also to pass the Licensing Examination . This is because despite having worked for three years already he is asked to take a step backward and sit for the Licensing Examination
醫委會以"專業自主"為理由，實際是專業的保護主義，目的是拒絕開放醫生的執業大門，令海外醫生知難而退。
MCHK used professional autonomy as a justification but in fact it was all about professional protectionism which is aimed at refusing to open the door for doctors to practise so that overseas doctors will be deterred from doing so by the difficulties they face
不過，我想提醒大家，這不僅是專業界別的問題，更是全港市民福祉的問題。
However I would like to remind Members that this is not just about the professional sector but also about the well - being of all the people of Hong Kong
全港市民的福祉，一定比界別利益重要；醫學界不能夠只顧界別利益，而漠視全港市民的利益。
The well - being of the Hong Kong people is definitely more important than the interests of the sector . The medical sector cannot just care about its interests and disregard the well - being of our people
醫學界既然講求專業自主，就必須負上專業責任，包括讓全港市民得到適當的醫療服務。
Since the medical sector emphasizes professional autonomy it must shoulder its professional responsibilities including ensuring that all Hong Kong people receive appropriate healthcare services
現在醫生人手短缺，衍生了大量問題，醫學界如果無法解決問題，便請聆聽一下我們的意見。
The current shortage of doctors has given rise to a lot of problems . If the medical sector fails to resolve the problems it should listen to our views
其實，我們可借鏡很多成功的例子，例如新加坡模式，他們將全球頂尖的醫學院納入認可名單，讓其畢業生可以免試到新加坡執業，而新加坡已經落實有關制度10多年，從未發生問題，現在依然施行，名單中的醫學院均達世界頂尖水平，其畢業生水平相信不會比香港遜色。
In fact we can learn from many successful examples such as the Singapore Model under which the worlds leading medical schools are included in its recognized list and their graduates are allowed to have examination - free practice in Singapore . Such a system has been implemented in Singapore for over a decade without any problem and is still in force today . Since the medical schools on the list are all of the worlds top standards it is believed that the standards of their graduates are not inferior to those in Hong Kong
如果要有足夠保證，也可以效法新加坡的做法，即是海外醫生要先到公營醫院在監察下行醫，經過一段時間之後，才批准他們私人執業，這樣便可以保證萬無一失。
If we want to have sufficient assurance we can also follow the practice of Singapore that is overseas doctors have to practise medicine under supervision in public hospitals for a certain period of time before they are allowed to practise privately . This can assure that nothing will go wrong
有人說這個建議等於中門大開，但新加坡已向大家證明，這個制度既可擴展，亦可收緊。
Some people say that this suggestion is tantamount to leaving the door wide open . Nevertheless Singapore has proved that this system can be expanded or tightened
