今天，我提出"力促市場健康競爭，制衡領展獨大局面"的議案，希望可以爭取各位議員的支持，促請競爭事務委員會就領展的經營和個別市政服務的提供展開研究，甚至全面調查領展有否違反《競爭條例》，同時希望政府正視因各區社區設施和服務不足、商品和零售店鋪選擇不多而影響居民日常生活的問題。
Today I have proposed the motion on Vigorously promoting healthy market competition to counteract the market dominance of Link REIT in a bid to seek Members support for urging the Competition Commission to commence a study on the operation of Link REIT and the provision of individual municipal services and even a comprehensive investigation into whether Link REIT has violated the Competition Ordinance . Meanwhile it is hoped that the Government will address squarely the problem of residents daily lives being affected by an inadequacy of district facilities and services and limited choices of goods and retail shops in various districts
透過推出短期措施，包括設立臨時墟市，為居民提供領展街市和商場以外的選擇，以及推出以地區為本的先導計劃，在有需要地區興建公眾街市，並邀請社企參與營運。
Through the introduction of short - term measures including setting up temporary bazaars residents will be provided with choices other than those markets and shopping arcades of Link REIT . Also it should introduce district - based pilot schemes for building public markets in districts in need and engage social enterprises in the operation
長遠則應研究在各區興建新型綜合市政大樓，以及改善和提升現有市政大廈的設施，為居民提供更全面、更切合居民需要的社區設施。
In the long run it should conduct studies on building new municipal services complexes in various districts and improve and enhance the facilities of existing municipal services buildings so as to provide residents with more comprehensive community facilities which will better suit their needs
同時希望政府全面檢視現有的地區行政模式，以提升行政效率和市民的生活水平。
It is also hoped that the Government will comprehensively review the existing district administration models to enhance administrative efficiency and peoples standard of living
代理主席，領展肩負獨特的背景和使命，服務超過70萬戶公屋居民。
Deputy President Link REIT has a unique background and mission serving more than 700 000 public housing households
在不少市民眼中，領展並非一般的商業機構。
In the eyes of the majority public Link REIT is not an ordinary commercial organization
現時領展的問題，主要是政府政策出現問題。
The current Link REIT issue is mainly attributed to problems in government policies
香港房屋委員會在2005年以極具爭議的條件將其大量零售和停車場設施分拆出售予當時的領匯房地產投資信託基金，即現在的領展，但出售契約不夠嚴謹，房委會和領匯的買賣契約附設限制性契諾。
The Hong Kong Housing Authority HA divested a large number of its retail and car parking facilities to The Link Real Estate Investment Trust currently known as Link REIT under highly controversial conditions at that time in 2005 . But the assignment deeds are not sufficiently stringent . The assignment deeds between HA and The Link REIT contain Restrictive Covenants
一般而言，商場鋪位和停車場設施不可分拆出售。
Generally speaking the commercial and car parking facilities shall not be disposed of except as a whole
不過，如果房委會在有關屋邨或屋苑已沒有持有任何物業權益，商場鋪位不可分拆出售的規定便無效；如果房委會在有關屋邨或屋苑已賣出任何住宅單位，停車場不可分拆出售的規定亦屬無效，即是容許領展將整棟物業出售，停車場則可"拆骨"出售，根本未能有效約束領展承擔和履行其社會責任。
However if HA no longer holds any proprietary interest in the relevant estate or court the restriction that the shopping centre shall not be disposed of except as a whole will no longer be effective . If HA has disposed of any residential units in the relevant estate or court the restriction that the car parking facilities shall not be disposed of except as a whole will no longer be effective either . In other words Link REIT is allowed to dispose of the properties as a whole while car parking facilities can be disposed of in parts
以將軍澳厚德街市為例，在大半年前，有超過10間商鋪相繼結業。
Take Hau Tak Market in Tseung Kwan O as an example . More than half a year ago over 10 shops closed down one after another
據了解，主要因為領展大幅加租，最高達30%，令不少商戶無法繼續經營，亦令區內市民在無選擇的情況下被迫"捱貴餸"。
It is learnt that quite a number of traders were unable to continue their business mainly because of the significant rent increases up to 30 % levied by Link REIT and people in the districts had no choice but to fork out more for their food
此外，領展將街市商場的管理服務外判，製造不少問題。
Moreover the outsourcing of management of markets and shopping arcades by Link REIT has created a number of problems
今年2月，青衣長發街市的商戶因反對領展將街市外判予承辦商建華，決定罷市7天，而在建華於3月接管街市後，曾經參與罷市的商戶則全體不獲續租。
This February traders of Cheung Fat Market in Tsing Yi decided to launch a week - long strike to protest against outsourcing of the market to contractor Uni - China by Link REIT . And when Uni - China took over the market in March all traders who had participated in the strike were not offered a renewal of tenancy
外判商以垂直整合方式經營，讓旗下街市商鋪營運更具 經濟效益，原本無可厚非。
Basically there is nothing wrong for a contractor to adopt a vertical integration mode of business operation to achieve more cost - effective operation of commercial premises in its markets
但不少人批評，領展與外判商之間的角色重疊，對外判商旗下商鋪無牌經營視若無睹，更縱容外判商藉加租及操控街市零售價格等手段，迫走小商戶。
But quite a number of people have criticized the duplication of role between Link REIT and contractors . It has turned a blind eye to unlicensed commercial operation on premises under contractors and condoned them to drive away small traders by such tactics as raising rentals and manipulating market retail prices
我在此必須強調，"外判管理"不代表"外判責任"，領展在這方面責無旁貸，希望領展加強對外判商的監管，保障市民的合理權益。
I must stress here that the outsourcing of management is not tantamount to the outsourcing of responsibilities . Link REIT cannot evade its responsibilities in this regard . I hope Link REIT will step up monitoring of contractors and protect the legitimate rights and interests of members of the public
領展上市後已經多次出售資產，涉及多個商場和停車場。
Subsequent to its listing Link REIT has sold its assets on many occasions involving a number of shopping arcades and car parks
有居民表示，有拆售車位的售價高達90萬元，相信拆售車位為領展帶來非常可觀的利潤。
According to a resident the price of a parking space divested is as high as 900,000 . It is believed that the divestment of car parking facilities has brought substantial benefits to Link REIT
不過，我想問領展，在出售資產的同時，有否顧及居民和小商戶的權益和需要呢？
However I wish to ask Link REIT whether it has taken into account the right and interests as well as the needs of residents and small traders while selling its assets?
今年4月，領展將大埔運頭塘商場出售，新業主接手後隨即發出律師信，要求商場內6間小店在半年後離場。
This April Link REIT sold Wan Tau Tong Shopping Centre in Tai Po . Soon after the takeover the new landlord issued a lawyers letter to six small shops in the shopping centre and required them to move out half a year later
據報道，運頭塘商場租戶與領展及新業主簽訂的租約的其中一項條款列明，只要業主決定出售、重建或翻新物業等，只需給予租戶不少於6個月的通知便可終止合約。
It is reported that in the tenancy agreements signed between tenants of Wan Tau Tong Shopping Centre with Link REIT and the new landlord one of the terms provides that in case the landlord decides to sell redevelop or renovate the property etc . it is entitled to terminate the tenancies by serving tenants an advance notice of no less than six months
合約條款如此不平等，難怪連保安局局長黎棟國也要站出來伸張正義，簽名支持運頭塘商場的小商戶。
Seeing such inequitable contract terms no wonder Secretary for Security LAI Tung - kwok also came forward to put down his signature in support of the small traders of Wan Tau Tong Shopping Centre so as to seek justice for them
代理主席，近年不少商戶因不敵領展大幅加租而結業。
Deputy President in recent years quite a number of traders have closed down for they can hardly cope with the significant rent increases imposed by Link REIT
根據政府和領展在今年年中公布的數據，港島、九龍和新界區私人零售樓宇的平均租金均有明顯跌幅。
According to the figures released by the Government and Link REIT in the middle of this year the average rentals of private retail premises on Hong Kong Island in Kowloon and the New Territories have seen a significant drop among which Kowloon has witnessed the biggest drop at 30 %
其中以九龍區的跌幅最大，高達30%，但領展旗下物業的租金卻不跌反升，部分租金升幅更超過10%。
But the rentals of Link REIT properties have been rising rather than declining with some of them having even increased by more than 10 %
所以，我和不少市民均希望，競委會能夠就領展的商鋪營運進行研究，尤其是街市方面，探討如何能夠促進競爭，並向領展提出相關建議，讓市民能夠享有更佳的價格、更優質的產品，以及更多樣的選擇；有需要時，應該主動調查和研究領展有否違反《競爭條例》中的"第二行為守則"，即《競爭條例》第21條所指，擁有相當程度市場權勢的企業，不得濫用有關權勢損害競爭。
Hence quite a number of members of the public and I hope that the Commission can conduct a study on how Link REIT operates its shops especially those in markets explore ways to boost competition and make relevant recommendations to Link REIT so that members of the public may be offered better prices products of higher quality and wider choices . When necessary it should launch direct investigations and studies to see if Link REIT has violated the Second Conduct Rule as stated in section 21 of the Competition Ordinance that businesses with a substantial degree of market power are prohibited from abusing that power to harm competition
就市民對領展和社區設施的不滿，我在今年4月和5月，聯同新民黨的立法會議員和公民力量的區議員，先後約見了領展的管理層和政務司司長林鄭月娥，反映市民的不滿，並向司長遞交建議書，希望政府盡快規劃及落實興建新型綜合市政大樓。
In response to public discontent with Link REIT and community facilities in April and May this year I together with Legislative Council Members from the New Peoples Party and District Council DC members from the Civil Force met with the management of Link REIT and Chief Secretary for Administration Carrie LAM respectively and submitted proposals to the Chief Secretary hoping that the Government would expeditiously take forward the planning and construction of new municipal services complexes
我剛才也提到，領展問題的核心涉及深層次的地區行政管理問題。
Earlier on I also mentioned that the core of the Link REIT issue involves deep - rooted problems in district administration
在香港回歸以前，各區的食物衞生、街道清潔、文康設施和熟食中心等市政服務的管理，分別由市政局和區域市政局負責。
Prior to the reunification of Hong Kong the Urban Council and the Regional Council were respectively in charge of the management of such municipal services as food hygiene street cleansing cultural and recreational facilities and cooked food centres in various districts
隨着兩局解散，地區行政模式出現變化，相關地區服務的管理工作，分別改由 民政事務總署和區議會負責。
Subsequent to their dissolution the model of district administration models has undergone changes . The responsibility of managing the relevant district services has been transferred to the Home Affairs Department and DCs
區議會只是諮詢架構，缺乏實權，社區設施的規劃要依賴長期在"象牙塔"內的官員制訂，試問他們又如何可以切實理解地區的需要？
DCs are only a consultative framework with no real power . We have to rely on those public officers who have been staying in the ivory tower persistently to draw up planning for community facilities . I wonder how they can practically understand district needs?
又能否聽到市民的需求呢？
And can they hear the demands of members of the public?
今天的議案已經清楚指出，領展問題是地區行政的一部分，但民政事務局局長竟然沒有出席回應今天的議案和我們的發言，我在此表示遺憾。
The motion today has clearly pointed out that the Link REIT issue is a part of district administration but to our disappointment the Secretary for Home Affairs does not attend the meeting and respond to the motion and our speeches today . I express regrets at this
從前由兩局負責提供市政服務的模式，體現了地區自主的精神，決策當然可以貼近民情民意。
The previous models in which municipal services were provided by the two Municipal Councils manifested the spirit of district autonomy
事實上，社會上有不少聲音批評現有地區行政模式欠缺彈性和效率，未能切實、有效回應各社區的不同訴求。
Their policies could certainly better answer public opinions and sentiments . In fact there have been criticisms in society of the lack of flexibility and inefficiency in the existing model of district administration rendering it unable to respond to different aspirations in various communities practically and effectively
所以，政府有必要考慮需否檢討現時的地區行政模式，例如在規劃和管理新型綜合市政大樓方面，可以增強區議員的參與，確保規劃和各項服務的提供能夠更貼近區內市民的需要。
For this reason the Government has to consider whether a review of the existing district administration model is necessary . For example in respect of the planning and management of new municipal services complexes it may enhance the participation of DC members so as to ensure that the planning and provision of various services will better serve the needs of people in the districts
代理主席，完善社區規劃、提供良好的市政服務和提升市民的生活質素，是政府的基本責任。
Deputy President perfecting community planning providing good municipal services and enhancing peoples quality of life are the basic responsibilities of the Government
對於受影響的市民而言，實在相當諷刺。
How sarcastic it is to those members of the public affected
平情而論，領展接手管理房委會部分街市和商場後，在一定程度上為部分街市和商場帶來了新景象，例如不少街市加裝了冷氣，環境較以往乾淨及整齊，但卻同時因領展的營商手法而產生其他問題，包括大幅加租、月租車位變浮動車位及管理服務外判等，這些均是備受爭議和批評的。
To give the matter its fair deal after taking over the management of some of the markets and shopping arcades of HA Link REIT has revitalized them to a certain extent . For example air - conditioning systems have been installed in quite a number of markets and the environment has become cleaner and tidier than before . But at the same time the business practice of Link REIT has given rise to other problems including significant rent increases the replacement of monthly parking spaces with floating parking spaces and the outsourcing of management which have led to widespread controversies and criticisms
林鄭月娥司長曾經形容領展是需要處理的"3座大山"之一，我希望領 展能夠認真審視應否改變現時以利潤掛帥的營商模式，更加關顧居民的需要，以有否達到其訂下"服務社群並提升其生活質素"的抱負為依歸。
Chief Secretary Carrie LAM has once described Link REIT as one of the Three Mountains to tackle . I hope Link REIT can seriously examine whether it should change its current profit - oriented mode of operation care more about the needs of residents and adhere to achieving its vision of serving and enhancing the lives of those around us
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：容海恩議員動議的議案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Ms YUNG Hoi - yan be passed
有5位議員要就這項議案動議修正案。
Five Members will move amendments to this motion
本會現在就議案及5項修正案進行合併辯論。
This Council will now proceed to a joint debate on the motion and the five amendments
我會依次請要動議修正案的邵家輝議員、尹兆堅議員、柯創盛議員、張超雄議員及郭家麒議員發言；但他們在現階段不可動議修正案。
I will call upon Members who will move the amendments to speak in the following order Mr SHIU Ka - fai Mr Andrew WAN Mr Wilson OR Dr Fernando CHEUNG and Dr KWOK Ka - ki; but they may not move the amendments at this stage
主席，今天有5位議員就我的議案提出修正案，不過我只會支持柯創盛議員及尹兆堅議員的修正案。
President five Members have proposed amendments to my motion but I will only support the amendments by Mr Wilson OR and Mr Andrew WAN
首先，邵家輝議員的修正案開首就指出本港零售業總銷售額下跌，而零售商鋪的租金卻持續高企，但不少商界人士對我說，由於市道轉差，商鋪租金已經回落不少。
First of all Mr SHIU Ka - fais amendment points out right from the outset that despite the drop of the value of total retail sales retail shop rentals have been persistently high . However some members of the business sector have told me that as retail sales have worsened retail shop rentals have seen a significant drop
我在之前的發言亦舉出了新界私人零售樓宇租金回落的數據，反映現時商鋪的租金已經有一定程度的下調，而並非邵議員所說般持續高企。
In my previous speech I cited statistics of the decline in rentals of private retail properties in the New Territories indicating a certain extent of downward adjustment in prevalent rentals of shop premises which are not persistently high as Mr SHIU suggested
此外，他要求香港房屋委員會和香港房屋協會研究改劃其轄下部分屋邨及屋苑的低層空間作零售業用途，並以較低的租金租予小商戶。
Moreover he requests the Hong Kong Housing Authority and the Hong Kong Housing Society to study the re - assignment of spaces on the lower floors in some of their housing estates or courts for retail purposes and let such spaces to small shop operators at relatively low rentals
我對此是不認同的，因為有關的安排明顯只照顧零售業，忽略了居民在教育及社福等其他方面的需要。
I do not agree with it as such arrangements obviously only cater for the retail industry at the expense of residents needs for education social welfare etc
邵議員亦將我建議設立的"臨時墟市"改為"假日墟市"，對於有關的修正，我及新民黨都不能夠認同，因為假日墟市只可以在假日運作，但不少居民希望看到的並不是只在假日才設立的墟市，反而是每天早上及晚上都可以前往閒逛的墟市，好像深水埗、旺角、天水圍、西灣河等多區都有的天光墟。
Mr SHIU has also changed the temporary bazaars in my proposal to holiday bazaars . Both the New Peoples Party and I cannot agree with such an amendment because holiday bazaars can only operate on holidays . Yet what many residents want is not bazaars to be set up just on holidays but ones that they can go visit in the morning and evening every day such as dawn bazaars in districts such as Sham Shui Po Mong Kok Tin Shiu Wai and Sai Wan Ho
每天都有很多市民前往這些墟市閒逛，漸漸就會變成習慣，即使沒有購物，邊閒逛邊與街坊閒聊都會覺得很寫意。
Every day many people take a cozy stroll at these bazaars gradually getting into a habit . Even without making any purchases it is enjoyable for them to chat with fellow residents during the stroll
不過，無論是哪種形式的回購或回購的對象是誰，我認為現階段都不可行，亦看不到我們有條件進行回購。
Nonetheless regardless of how or from whom to make such a buy - back I neither think it is feasible at the current stage nor do I see the conditions to do so
所以，對於回購的建議，我是有保留的。
Therefore I have reservations about these buy - back proposals
事實上，因為很多人投資領展，如果政府真的要進行回購的話，從市場角度來看，肯定會以天價出售，即使真的回購了，亦會繼續面對長遠的管理問題，而這些問題一天未解決，一天都不是回購的好時機。
In fact given the large number of Link REIT investors if the Government really wants to buy it back from the market perspective the selling price will definitely rise sky - high . Even if it is bought back the Government has to continue dealing with long - term management problems . So long as these problems are not solved it is not an opportune time to buy back Link REIT
所以，回購未必能夠有效解決領展的問題。
For this reason a buy - back may not be the most effective way to solve the Link REIT problems
主席，對於尹兆堅議員的修正案，雖然我最終是會支持的，但我對於他刪除了原議案批評"領展罔顧基層市民的負擔能力及生活需要，導致他們的生活百上加斤"的部分，我是不滿意的。
President though I will eventually support Mr Andrew WANs amendment I am not satisfied with his deletion of the statement Link REIT has ignored the affordability and living necessities of grass - roots people thereby aggravating the burden on their livelihood in my original motion
然而，考慮到有關的修正案在理念上與我提出的原議案接近，所以我會支持尹議員的修正案。
However considering that his amendment is similar to my original motion in principle I will support Mr WANs amendment
此外，我亦想回應一下柯議員的修正案。
Moreover I would like to give a response in respect of Mr ORs amendment
原議案建議推出以地區為本的先導計劃，我相信柯議員都認同這個方向，所以他在修正案中明確指出了數個領展獨大的地區。
My original motion proposes the introduction of district - based pilot schemes . I believe Mr OR approves of such a direction so that in his amendment he pinpoints a few areas where Link REIT has achieved dominance
據了解，其中天水圍及東涌更是重災區，很值得大家關注。
It is learnt that among them Tin Shui Wai and Tung Chung are the worst cases giving us a cause for concern
因此，我會支持柯議員的修正案。
Therefore I will support Mr ORs amendment
香港醫務委員會的職能，包括就所接獲對註冊醫生的投訴，按既定機制展開紀律程序。
The functions of the Medical Council of Hong Kong MCHK include instituting in accordance with the established mechanism disciplinary proceedings in respect of complaints received against registered medical practitioners
然而，有不少市民指出，醫委會處理投訴的效率多年來一直為人詬病，而部分市民更抱有醫委會處理投訴時"醫醫相衛"的觀感。
However quite a number of members of the public have pointed out that the efficiency of MCHK in handling complaints has all along been a subject of criticism over the years and some members of the public even perceive that doctors harbour each other in the handling of complaints by MCHK
鑒於社會上要求改革醫委會的聲音日漸高漲，政府於本年3月向本會提交《2016年醫生註冊條例草案》。
Given that the voice calling for a reform of MCHK has become increasingly louder in society the Government introduced the Medical Registration Amendment Bill 2016 into this Council in March this year
該條例草案引起廣泛爭議，並隨着上屆立法會會期於本年7月中止而失效。
The Bill has aroused widespread controversies and lapsed upon the expiry of the previous term of Legislative Council LegCo in July this year
有市民擔心醫委會改革遙遙無期。
Some members of the public are worried that reform of MCHK has been put off indefinitely
主席，我就麥美娟議員所提的質詢的3個部分，答覆如下： 一 2011年至2015年，香港醫務委員會於該年接獲的投訴個案數字分別為461宗、480宗、452宗、624宗，以及493宗。
President my reply to the three parts of the question raised by Ms Alice MAK is as follows 1 In 2011 to 2015 the Medical Council of Hong Kong MCHK received 461 480 452 624 and 493 complaint cases respectively
現時總積壓個案數目約為960宗，於初步偵訊委員會初步考慮、偵委會及研訊階段的積壓個案數目分別約為600宗、260宗及95宗。
Currently there is a backlog of about 960 cases of which about 600 cases are at the pre - preliminary investigation stage 260 at the Preliminary Investigation Committee PIC stage and 95 at the inquiry stage
二 2011年至2015年，偵委會處理的投訴個案及醫委會召開的紀律研訊的每年詳細個案數字載於附件。
2 In 2011 to 2015 the number of complaint cases handled by PIC and the number of inquiries conducted by MCHK in each of the past five years are detailed at Annex
就2015年而言，經偵委會初步考慮的個案中屬瑣碎無聊或毫無根據而被駁回的個案共149宗。
As for 2015 149 cases were dismissed after the pre - preliminary investigation stage as they were considered frivolous or groundless
偵委會會議於2015年共處理129宗個案，當中57宗轉呈醫委會召開研訊、35宗屬輕微罪行而無須就該等個案召開研訊、1宗轉交健康事務委員會進行聆訊及36宗被駁回。
A total of 129 cases were handled at PIC meetings in 2015 of which 57 cases were referred to MCHK for inquiry 35 considered minor offences with no need for inquiry one referred to the Health Committee for hearing and 36 cases dismissed
三 政府十分關注醫委會的運作，尤其是個案積壓嚴重，投訴處理程序需時長的問題。
3 The Government has great concern over the operation of MCHK especially the backlog of cases and the prolonged time required for handling complaints
現時積壓個案的數目已達960宗。
The number of backlog cases has reached 960
由於個案積壓，排期紀律研訊所需時間進一步惡化，由28個月增加至約36個月。
Due to the backlog of cases the time required for scheduling an inquiry has further aggravated having increased from 28 months to about 36 months
此外，偵委會因應法庭判案改變運作模式亦加長了偵委會階段的處理時間。
Besides the mode of operation of PIC has been changed in response to a court judgment resulting in yet longer time for the PIC stage
如不盡快修例改善醫委會運作，根據醫委會秘書處最新推測，一宗個案由收到投訴直至進行紀律研訊平均需時72個月。
According to the latest estimate by the MCHK Secretariat it will take an average of 72 months to handle a case starting from receipt of a complaint to the conduct of disciplinary inquiry unless legislative amendment to improve the operation of MCHK is introduced as soon as possible
政府已向醫委會額外撥款620萬元，加強秘書處的人手支援，並為在醫委會初步偵訊階段協助進行調查工作的專家提供酬金，盡量以行政方法改善投訴處理。
The Government has provided an additional funding of 6.2 million to strengthen the manpower support for the MCHK Secretariat and to give honorarium to experts who provide assistance at the preliminary investigation stage with a view to improving complaint handling through administrative means as far as possible
現時醫委會處理投訴的時間長，秘書處的效率並非主因，而是因為《醫生註冊條例》的限制，造成瓶頸，包括： i 只可成立一個偵委會； 現時醫委會只有4名業外委員。
The long time taken by MCHK to handle complaints owes less to the efficiency of the MCHK Secretariat but mainly to the bottlenecks under the Medical Registration Ordinance MRO including i Only one PIC can be formed; ii There are four lay Council members in MCHK
受現行法例所限，要徹底加快偵委會的調查及紀律研訊的工作，必須修改《醫生註冊條例》，才可大幅縮減醫委會處理投訴所需的時間。
Given the constraints of the existing legislation it is necessary to amend MRO in order to expedite PIC investigations and disciplinary inquiries . The time required by MCHK for handling complaints could then be substantially shortened
政府已成立有關修訂《醫生註冊條例》的三方平台，為改善醫委會的運作提供平台，以促進醫生、代表病人權益及消費者權益的人士和立法會議員就醫委會運作的了解及溝通，並就修例建議提出意見和討論。
The Government has set up a Tripartite Platform on Amendments to MRO which aims to provide a platform to promote understanding and communication among doctors persons representing patients and consumers interests and Members of the Legislative Council on improving the operation of MCHK as well as to offer views and deliberate on amendment proposals to MRO
三方平台剛於11月15日進行第一次會議。
The Tripartite Platform held its first meeting on 15 November
會議上，與會者討論事項包括醫委會的組成、投訴調查和紀律研訊機制的現況，以及上屆立法會議員和社會人士就《2016年醫生註冊條例草案》提出的主要議題及關注。
Matters discussed at the meeting include the composition of MCHK the current situation of its complaint investigation and disciplinary inquiry mechanism as well as major issues and concerns raised by the previous - term Legislative Council Members and the general public over the Medical Registration Amendment Bill 2016
會議亦討論三方平台的工作計劃，並同意在未來3個月每月舉行一次會議。
Members also discussed the work plan of the Platform and agreed to meet once a month in the next three months
平台下月的會議將繼續討論投訴調查和紀律研訊機制，並參考其他地方的相關機制，而隨後分別在明年1月和2月舉行的兩次會議則會討論有關修訂《醫生註冊條例》的可行建議。
The Platform will continue to discuss the complaint investigation and disciplinary inquiry mechanism at the meeting next month taking reference of the relevant mechanisms of other jurisdictions . Members will then discuss possible amendment proposals to MRO at the two meetings in January and February next year . President there is a pressing need to amend MRO
主席，修訂《醫生註冊條例》刻不容緩，因此，政府計劃於明年上半年盡早向立法會再次提交《醫生註冊條例草案》。
The Government plans to re - introduce the Medical Registration Amendment Bill into the Legislative Council as soon as possible in the first half of next year
所以，政府認為若要徹底改善醫委會的運作效率，並大幅改善現時處理投訴的等候時間，便必須修訂《醫生註冊條例》。
Hence the Government considers it necessary to amend MRO in order to thoroughly improve the operational efficiency of MCHK and substantially improve the current waiting time for handling complaints
我相信透過這個三方平台，大家可以坐下來，由政府和醫委會秘書處提供相關資料，進行實在的討論。
I believe that through this Tripartite Platform we can sit down together and the Government and the MCHK Secretariat will provide relevant information for conducting practical discussions
