其實這便要視乎當局怎樣計算，這個數字是建基於一個假設，即維持現時醫療服務的時間或容許變得更差，即約八成公立醫院的病人見醫生少於10分鐘，次緊急的急症輪候時間高達114分鐘，遠高於新加坡一倍以上。
In fact it depends on how the Administration does the calculation . This figure is based on the assumption that the current waiting time for healthcare services will remain the same or be allowed to get worse that is the consultation time for about 80 % of public hospital patients will last less than 10 minutes and the waiting time for semi - urgent patients will be as long as 114 minutes which is more than double of that in Singapore
至於專科的輪候時間，則有一成輪候骨科或眼科專科門診的新症病人，要輪候長達差不多兩年才可獲得第一次診症，而且時間越來越長，這是否市民可以接受的呢？
As for the waiting time for specialist services 10 % of new patients waiting for orthopaedics or ophthalmology specialist outpatient services have to wait nearly two years for their first consultation and the waiting time is getting longer and longer . Is this situation acceptable to the public?
香港需要增加大概3,400名醫生，才能趕上新加坡的比例，即每1,000人有2.4名醫生。
Hong Kong needs about 3 400 additional doctors to catch up with the ratio in Singapore which is 2.4 doctors for every 1 000 people
若有追上經濟合作與發展組織的水平，即每1,000人有3.4名醫生，我們便要增加10,000名醫生。
If we have to meet the standard set by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development OECD which is 3.4 doctors for every 1 000 people we will need 10 000 additional doctors
事實上，本港公共醫療體系頻臨崩潰，結構失衡加劇。
As a matter of fact the public healthcare system in Hong Kong is on the verge of collapse and its structural imbalance is aggravating
2017年香港的醫生整體人數中，少於一半任職公營醫療體系，但該界別卻為本港提供約九成的住院服務。
In 2017 only less than half 46 % of the doctors in Hong Kong worked in the public healthcare system yet the latter covered about 90 % of the inpatient services in Hong Kong
不過，最主要的成因要追溯到1996年9月起，原有6個選定英聯邦國家的海外受訓醫生可在香港免試執業的安排被取消，造成每年新增醫生大幅下降。
The main reason can be traced back to September 1996 when the arrangement permitting overseas - trained doctors from six selected Commonwealth countries to practise in Hong Kong examination - free was abolished resulting in a sharp decline in the new supply of doctors every year
本來在1990年至1995年間，香港藉此途徑年均 引入200名醫生，約佔每年新增醫生數目42%，但政策取消後，過去22年只有約457名海外受訓醫生獲准在香港執業，僅佔2018年年底香港整體醫生供應的3%。
An average of 200 doctors have been imported to Hong Kong annually through this channel from 1990 to 1995 accounting for about 42 % of the new supply of doctors every year . However after the abolition of the policy only 457 overseas - trained doctors have been permitted to practise in Hong Kong in the past 22 years accounting for merely 3 % of the total number of doctors in Hong Kong as at the end of 2018 . The number of overseas doctors has dropped sharply from 200 annually to some 200 in 10 years
由1年200位，變成10年才有200多位，海外醫生數字急劇下滑，造成本港醫生人手供應遠遠追不上香港人口增長及老化的需求。
Thus the supply of doctors has fallen far short of the demand arising from the growth and ageing of Hong Kongs population
自由黨看到上述問題多年，一直建議政府增加輸入海外醫生，近年更建議結合新加坡模式及現行的有限度註冊安排，准許畢業於全球著名大學醫學院的非本地註冊醫生，或在高水平的海外醫院執業的非本地註冊醫生，透過有限度註冊在本港公營醫療體系工作5年或以上後，其專科資格便可獲香港醫學專科學院承認，並可無須考試或實習，獲得正式註冊的資格。
The Liberal Party has noticed the above problems for years and has been suggesting that the Government should import more overseas doctors . In recent years we have proposed to combine the Singapore model and the existing limited registration so that the specialist qualifications of non - locally registered doctors who graduated from medical schools in world - renowned universities or have practised in highly qualified overseas hospitals may be recognized by the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine after having worked in Hong Kongs public healthcare system for five years or above and may be granted full registration without the need for examinations or internships
自由黨更建議，相關人士其後可自由選擇在本港公營或私營醫療市場執業。
The Liberal Party also suggests that they should be free to choose to practise in the public or private healthcare markets in Hong Kong afterwards
我理解大家對輸入非本地培訓醫生的方法各有看法，未必與自由黨的方案一樣，但我們也是持開放的態度，原則就是正如今天的原議案所述，制訂一個新機制，可輸入有經驗及質素的非本地培訓醫生，以紓緩公營醫療系統醫生不足的情況，並有效回應本港人口老化所產生的醫療服務需求。
I understand that Members have different views on ways to import non - locally trained doctors which may not be the same as the proposal of the Liberal Party but we remain open - minded . As stated in todays original motion the principle is to formulate a new mechanism for importing experienced and quality non - locally trained doctors to alleviate the shortage of doctors in the public healthcare system and respond to the demand for healthcare services arising from the ageing population in Hong Kong
主席，以免試方式引入海外醫生並非新鮮事，除了新加坡，澳洲和英國亦早已實行。
President examination - free admission of overseas doctors is nothing new at all . It has been implemented for a long time in Australia and the United Kingdom in addition to Singapore
新加坡及澳洲更有超過30年的免試經驗。
Examination - free admission has more than 30 years of history in Singapore and Australia
去年5月，我委託了立法會秘書處資料研究組深入研究新加坡及澳洲的情況，證明免試切實可行，我在此感謝立法會秘書處。
In May last year I commissioned the Research Office of the Legislative Council Secretariat to conduct an in - depth study on the situations in Singapore and Australia . The study indicated that examination - free admission is actually feasible . Here I would like to thank the Legislative Council Secretariat
須知道很多先進地方也因為人口老化而面對醫療人手不足的挑戰。
We should know that many advanced places are also being challenged by the shortage of healthcare manpower in the face of the ageing population
研究顯示，經濟合作與發展組織的海外受訓醫生總數在8年間增加了37%，反映先進地方對海外醫生的需求殷切。
Studies indicate that the total number of overseas - trained doctors in OECD countries has increased by 37 % in eight years showing a strong demand for overseas doctors in advanced places
部分成員國的海外受訓醫生比例更高，例如新西蘭34%、挪威40%、澳洲33%、英國28%及美國25%。
The ratios of overseas - trained doctors in some member countries are even higher . For example they account for 34 % in New Zealand 40 % in Norway 33 % in Australia 28 % in the United Kingdom and 25 % in the United States
其實，最大的關注是質素有否保證。
In fact the major concern is whether quality can be assured
新加坡及澳洲的例子告訴我們，當地並沒有因為引入免試制度而拉低了醫療質素。
The examples of Singapore and Australia demonstrated that the introduction of examination - free admission did not lower the quality of local healthcare
新加坡醫藥理事會在1990年至2017年期間接獲的投訴數字，介乎每1,000名醫生8宗至17宗，變化不大，意味聘用更多海外受訓醫生對新加坡的醫療服務質素影響輕微。
From 1990 to 2017 the Singapore Medical Council received 8 to 17 complaints per 1 000 doctors . The figure remained stable indicating that employing more overseas - trained doctors had minimal impact on the quality of healthcare services in Singapore
的確，在澳洲來自某些發展地方的海外受訓醫生據報接獲的投訴較澳洲當地醫生為多，但整體而言，在2010年至2017年間，投訴醫生的整體數字介乎每1,000名執業醫生有54宗至82宗投訴，未見與海外受訓醫生數目上升有直接關係。
Indeed overseas - trained doctors from some developing places reportedly have received more complaints than local doctors in Australia . But overall complaints lodged against all doctors ranged from 54 to 82 cases per 1 000 practising doctors from 2010 to 2017 bearing no direct relationship with the rising number of overseas - trained doctors
無論如何，我們要討論的不應限於是否容許免試，而是如何制訂一個免試機制，確保免試醫生的質素獲得保證，機制的設計才是最重要的。
In any case our discussion should not be limited to whether or not exemptions are allowed but how to formulate an examination - free mechanism to ensure the quality of doctors exempted from examinations . The design of the mechanism is of paramount importance
至於澳洲則按一般註冊及專科註冊兩個類別分開處理。
In Australia registrations are categorized into general registration and specialist registration
至於已持有海外專科資格的海外受訓醫生，則直接由澳洲相關專科醫院評核，只要確實與澳洲有相關的資格相符，則須受1年的同業覆檢及2年的監督執業，並接受進一步的評核，便有資格獲推薦授予專科註冊資格。
Overseas - trained doctors already having overseas specialist qualifications are assessed by relevant specialist colleges in Australia directly to ensure that the qualifications are comparable to that in Australia . They may be recommended for specialist registration subject to either one - year peer review period or a two - year supervised practice with further assessments
從上述兩地的經驗可見，機制主要有兩個基本元素：第一是設定一個與本地醫療水平相符的引入範圍；第二則以監督為本，在指定時間內須在監督下執業，表現理想才有資格申請正式註冊。
As can be observed from the experience in the two places the mechanism consists of two basic elements first setting a scope of admission comparable to the local healthcare level; and second imposing supervision - based mechanism that requires satisfactory performance in practice under supervision for a specified period of time in order to be eligible for full registration
這足以證明免試不等於犧牲質素。
This well demonstrates that examination - free admission does not necessarily sacrifice quality . In fact many supplementary measures can be added
其實，還有很多附加措施可以加設，例如新加坡政府承諾優先由當地醫科畢業生出任新設的醫務職位，而海外受訓醫生只會擔當輔助角色；特設獎勵計劃，鼓勵新加坡學生在海外醫學院畢業後回國執業；以及澳洲規定服務10年才可以私家執業，偏遠和嚴重欠缺人手的地方則除外。
For example the Singaporean Government has pledged to give priority to local medical graduates for new medical positions with overseas - trained doctors playing a supporting role only . Besides there are incentive schemes to encourage Singaporeans students to return to their home country for practice upon graduation from overseas medical schools . In Australia 10 years of service are required for doctors to turn to private practice except in remote and severely under - staffed places
主席，考試制度有其限制，特別是本港醫務委員會的執業資格試備受批評，由於考試項目涵蓋本地5年醫科課程，故一般只有利於初出茅廬或是剛於醫學院畢業的學生，因為他們記憶猶新，反而不少海外專科醫生往往擁有多年執業經驗，但與專科無關的知識或許早已生疏，要求他們重新溫習並應考本地醫科課程內容實在有違常理，強人所難，而且亦大大減低他們來港工作的意欲。
President the examination system has its limitations . The Licensing Examination of the Medical Council of Hong Kong MCHK in particular has attracted a lot of criticisms because the examination covers the syllabus of the five - year local medicine programme and thus is more favourable to new doctors or fresh medical graduates who have a fresh memory . Contrarily many overseas specialist doctors have many years of practice experience but have become unfamiliar with knowledge unrelated to their specialist areas
現時的醫生執業資格試由專業知識考試、醫學英語技能水平測驗及臨床考試3部分組成，但其考核內容艱深，範圍廣泛，單單是第一部分的專業知識考試便涵蓋本地5年醫科課程的所有知識，包括內科、外科、兒科、精神科及醫學倫理等。
The current Licensing Examination comprises three parts namely the Examination in Professional Knowledge the Proficiency Test in Medical English and the Clinical Examination . The contents are very difficult and broad . The first part the Examination in Professional Knowledge alone covers the entire syllabus of the five - year local medicine programme including medicine surgery paediatrics psychiatry medical ethics etc
然而，不少海外專科醫生往往擁有多年執業經驗，但與專科無關的知識或早已生疏，要求他們重新溫習並應考本地醫科課程的內容是有違常理，強人所難。
While many overseas specialist doctors often have rich practice experience they may have become unfamiliar with knowledge unrelated to their specialist areas . It is unreasonable to ask them to study and sit the examination for local medicine programmes
實際上，作為"入場券"第一部分專業知識考試及格率長期低下，近5年來維持在11%至34%。
As a matter of fact the pass rate of Part I of the Examination in Professional Knowledge as an admission ticket has remained very low ranging from 11 % to 34 % in the past five years
而自1996年醫委會開辦執業資格試後，第一部分考試的及格率最高為2013年的36%。
Since MCHK introduced the Licensing Examination in 1996 the highest pass rate for Part I was 36 % in 2013
新機制是有必要的，因為單靠現有的考試制度難以滿足本港的需求，公共醫療系統壓力"爆煲"，瀕臨崩潰邊緣，我們必須打破保護主義的壁壘，改善私強公弱的醫療體系，為日漸老化的香港社會做準備，否則將成為民生福祉的一大隱患。
A new mechanism is necessary because the existing examination system alone cannot meet the demands in Hong Kong and pushes the public healthcare system to the verge of collapse . We must break down the barriers of protectionism and improve the healthcare system comprising a strong private sector and weak public sector in preparation for the ageing Hong Kong society . Otherwise it will become a major hidden risk to the well - being of the people
我懇請各位同事支持我的"制訂輸入非本地培訓醫生的新機制"議案。
I implore Honourable colleagues to support my motion on Formulating a new mechanism for importing non - locally trained doctors
主席，我發言支持張宇人議員的議案。
President I rise to speak in support of Mr Tommy CHEUNGs motion
在過去一段很長時間，我和很多民建聯的同事均提出過，應該設立更有效的機制，引入海外的合資格醫生來香港提供服務，以紓緩醫生短缺問題，這是應該要做的工作。
The issue has all along been a cause of complaint . Over a long period of time in the past a number of colleagues from the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong and I have proposed that a more efficient mechanism should be put in place for bringing in qualified overseas doctors to provide services in Hong Kong in order to alleviate the shortage of doctors
代理主席，就海外醫生在一些其他地區所佔的比例，我們翻看資料，包括立法會秘書處就這項議題所做的研究顯示，2016年澳洲引入海外醫生佔醫生總人數的比例為33%，而新西蘭則為42%。
Deputy President in respect of the ratio of overseas doctors in some other places we have looked up some information including the research conducted by the Legislative Council Secretariat on this subject which shows that overseas doctors accounted for 33 % of the total number of doctors in Australia and 42 % in New Zealand in 2016
所以，我們看到，引入非本地醫生以紓緩本地醫生人手短缺的問題，其實並非新鮮事。
We can thus see that the introduction of non - local doctors to alleviate the shortage of local doctors is nothing new
但是，從數字來看，目前單靠本地醫生或本地醫學院日後培訓出來的畢業生，似乎難以應付將來會出現的短缺。
However based on the figures local doctors and future graduates of local medical schools seem hardly sufficient to cope with the shortage in the future
根據統計，現時新加坡每1,000人口便有2.4名醫生，已經較香港為高，原因是當地除了訓練本地醫生外，對於引入非本地醫生到新加坡工作比較積極。
According to statistics there are 2.4 doctors per 1 000 people in Singapore which is higher than that in Hong Kong . The reason is that in addition to training local doctors Singapore is more proactive in importing non - local doctors
在海外認可的醫學院畢業但未有臨床經驗的醫生，亦可以選擇在新加坡進行臨時註冊，在公立醫院實習一年後便有機會取得全面的執業資格。
Doctors graduated from recognized overseas medical schools without clinical experience may first practise under temporary registration in Singapore and then obtain full registration after completion of a one - year internship in public hospitals
主席，我首先感謝陸頌雄議員今天提出"紓緩道路交通擠塞"的議案，以及陳恒鑌議員提出修正案。
President first of all I would like to thank Mr LUK Chung - hung for moving the motion on Alleviating road traffic congestion today and Mr CHAN Han - pan for his amendment
主席，關於香港道路交通擠塞的問題，我認為歸因於特區政府對於處理道路的安排，時至今日依然是抱持着"有人才會建路"的態度。
President regarding the problem of road traffic congestion in Hong Kong I think it is resulted from the SAR Governments arrangements in handling roads as even nowadays it still adopts the attitude of only when there are people will roads be built
大家想想這個概念，當政府有大型發展，建造了很多房屋後，基本上政府要待有人遷入後，看到有人流及需求，才會建造適當的道路或鐵路配套。
Let us think about this concept . After the Government has taken forward some large - scale development projects in which many housing units are built it will construct suitable roads or ancillary railway facilities when people have moved in and it sees the flow of people and the demand
但如此一來，往往會造成市民最終要受苦。
Yet in this way people often have to suffer in the end
相反，應該是"有路才有人"，因為政府應該打通所有交通配套，先預備好，然後才讓市民遷入，這樣便可免卻居民承受交通擠塞之苦。
On the contrary roads should be constructed before there are people because the Government should build all ancillary transport facilities and make preparations before allowing people to move in so that residents will not have to suffer from traffic congestion
我覺得問題的癥結在此。
I think this is the crux of the problem
不過，由我以前擔任區議員至今，我不斷問及東涌東站，即是因應東涌東填海區的人口增加而興建的一個港鐵站，究竟何時才會建成呢？
However up to the present since I served as a member of the District Council I have kept asking about Tung Chung East Station which is an MTR station constructed to cope with the population growth in the Tung Chung East reclamation area . When will it be commissioned?
是在2029年。
In 2029
大家計算一下，2024年將有數萬人遷入這個新地區，還未計算持續增加的人口，但要到2029年，相隔足足5年，那個港鐵站才會出現。
Let us do some calculations . Tens of thousands of people will move into this new area in 2024 coupled with the continuous increase in population which has not yet been taken into account but the MTR station will not be commissioned until 2029 which is five years later
那些新增的人口或原本的人口增長，便要一直等待，"等到頸都長"也等不到那個港鐵站落成，試問他們怎會感到滿意呢？
The new population or growth in the existing population will have to wait all along and people will have to wait frustratingly long before the commissioning of the MTR station . How will they be satisfied?
為何政府的思維一定是要有足夠的人口，才會去做某件事呢？
Why must the Government think that there should be enough population before it will do something?
相反，政府應該先處理好交通配套，待設施齊全後，才讓市民遷到那裏，其實這樣做才對。
Instead the Government should first properly deal with the ancillary transport facilities and let people move into the area only after all these facilities are ready . In fact this is the right approach to take
不過，這樣仍然未足夠，由新界西接駁到市區的交通始終不足夠。
Nevertheless this is still not enough . The transport connection between New Territories West and the urban areas is insufficient after all
其實我們也曾向局長建議，例如應否興建一條由屯門至荃灣的所謂"屯荃鐵路"，他也聽過我們說了很多次吧。
In fact we have also proposed to the Secretary for example whether the so - called Tuen Mun to Tsuen Wan Link should be constructed to connect Tuen Mun and Tsuen Wan . He should have heard us mention this many times
其實這是可行的，我們亦有向他提供方案，但在政府的角度而言，他們又可能覺得沒有足夠的人流，或者他們經評估後認為不適合，於是沒有推行。
This is in fact feasible and we have also put forward some proposals to him . However from the Governments perspective they may think there is insufficient people flow or they find it not suitable after assessment so they have not implemented it
相反，當局卻就中部水域人工島制訂了整個鐵路配套安排，但今天很多同事亦說過，這也要等到人工島落成，然後才會有鐵路。
On the contrary the authorities have drawn up an overall plan in respect of the ancillary railway arrangements for the artificial islands in Central Waters . But rightly as many Honourable Members said today the railway would only be available upon completion of the artificial islands
老實說，這樣又會令現時那些居民"等到頸都長"。
To be honest in this way the existing residents still have to wait frustratingly long
但很可惜，我聽不到政府有適當的回應，看看局長今天會否帶些好消息給我吧，我真的希望他能夠做到這些比較簡單的事情。
But unfortunately I have not heard any proper response by the Government . Let us see if the Secretary will bring me some good news today . I really hope he can do these relatively simple things
即使他們的數字正確，是否代表不可以多做一步，讓市民有多些選擇，或者做得更好，讓大家可以舒服一點呢？
Even if their figures are correct does it mean that they cannot take a step further to give the public more choices or to do a better job so that people can feel more comfortable?
最後，我亦想說，屯門至赤鱲角連接路即將通車，我亦曾多次向局長表示，我擔心迴旋處的設計有問題，相反方向的車輛可能會造成擠塞或構成安全問題，我希望他會密切留意此事。
One last point I would like to make is that while TM - CLKL will soon be commissioned I have expressed to the Secretary repeatedly my worries about the problems with the design of the roundabout there . Vehicles in the opposite direction may cause congestion or pose safety problems
此外，皇珠路稍後亦有機會出現擠塞，我希望他會認真考慮將它擴闊，以處理這個情況，並且有一些後備方案，以解決屯門的交通擠塞問題。
I hope he will pay close attention to this matter . In addition as there is also a possibility of traffic congestion on Wong Chu Road later on I hope he will seriously consider widening the road to deal with the situation and there should be some backup plans to tackle the traffic congestion problem in Tuen Mun
主席，我非常感謝張宇人議員提出的議案，表達了對本港醫生人手問題的關注，以及提出一些可解決人手問題的建議。
President I am very grateful to Mr Tommy CHEUNG for moving this motion expressing his concern about the manpower problem of doctors in Hong Kong and putting forward some suggestions for solving the manpower problem
事實上，政府與各位議員一樣，為現時本港醫生人手不足的嚴峻情況而很着急，我們亦正努力循多方面挽留醫生和增加人手於公營醫療系統服務。
In fact like all Members the Government is very anxious about the acute shortage of doctors in Hong Kong nowadays and we are making every effort to retain doctors and increase manpower in the public healthcare system through various means
在處理醫生人手問題方面，我想從3方面着墨解說一下政府的各項措施，分別是"本地供應"、"醫管局措施"以及"醫委會措施"。
In addressing the manpower problem of doctors I would like to elaborate on various measures of the Government in three areas namely local supply HAs initiatives and MCHKs initiatives
首先，在"本地供應"方面，過去10年，政府已大幅增加大學教育資助委員 會資助的醫科生培訓學額，增幅達九成。
First in respect of local supply the Government has substantially increased the medical training places funded by the University Grants Committee UGC over the past decade representing an increase of 90 %
政府亦會繼續增加本地培訓醫療專業人員的學額，並在資源上全力配合。
The Government will also continue to increase the training places for local healthcare professionals and will provide all resources needed
在2019-2022教資會3年期內，政府已每年增加60個醫科生的資助培訓學額。
In the 2019 - 2022 UGC triennium the Government has increased the funded medical training places by 60 per annum
此外，為確保醫療人手的長遠穩定供應，政府正進行新一輪人力推算工作，預期於今年年底或明年年初完成。
Besides to ensure a steady supply of healthcare manpower in the long run the Government is conducting a new round of manpower projection exercise which is expected to be completed by end of this year or early next year
政府會視乎人力推算工作的結果，考慮是否進一步增加下一個教資會3年期的醫科培訓學額。
Depending on the results of the manpower projection exercise the Government will consider whether to further increase the number of medical training places in the next UGC triennium
此外，我們會在醫院管理局推行一系列措施。
In addition we will implement a series of measures in the Hospital Authority HA
醫管局會聘請所有合資格的本地醫科畢業生，給予他們一份長達9年的合約，並提供相關專科培訓，預計未來5年將會有合共超過2,000名醫科畢業生成為註冊醫生。
HA will recruit all qualified local medical graduates and offer them a nine - year contract with relevant specialist training . It is expected that in the next five years a total of over 2 000 medical graduates will become registered doctors
另一方面，醫管局會研究優化特別退休後重聘計劃，鼓勵更多資深醫生在退休後以合約形式繼續為醫管局服務直至65歲，亦會為現職醫生提供更多晉升及培訓機會，以及改善工作環境，藉着種種措施挽留人才。
On the other hand HA will explore the enhancement of the Special Retired and Rehire Scheme with a view to encouraging more experienced doctors to continue serving in HA on contract terms upon retirement until the age of 65 . It will also provide serving doctors with more promotion and training opportunities as well as an improved working environment so as to retain talents through various measures
我們明白單靠本地供應及挽留人才並不足夠，需要同時考慮不同措施以鼓勵非本地培訓醫生來港在公營醫療機構執業，我們需要外援。
We understand that it is not enough to solely rely on local supply and retention of talents and that we have to also consider different measures to encourage non - locally trained doctors to come to practise in Hong Kongs public healthcare sector . We need outside help
過去數年，香港醫務委員會已推行多項改善措施和新措施，協助合資格的非本地培訓醫生在本港取得正式註冊，包括自2014年起將執業資格試的考試次數由每年一次增至每年兩次，以及修訂執業資格試的若干豁免要求。
Over the past few years the Medical Council of Hong Kong MCHK has introduced various improvement measures and new measures to help qualified non - locally trained doctors obtain full registration in Hong Kong including increasing the frequency of the Licensing Examination from once to twice a year starting from 2014 and revising certain exemption requirements for the Licensing Examination
此外，在2018年3月通過的《2018年醫生註冊條例》已將有限度註冊的有效期和續期有效期由不多於1年延長至不多於3年，加上醫管局已優化有限度註冊醫生的晉升機會，相信會吸引更多合資格的非本地培訓醫生願意來港服務。
Moreover the Medical Registration Amendment Ordinance 2018 passed in March 2018 has extended the validity period and renewal period of limited registration from not exceeding one year to not exceeding three years; coupled with HAs enhancement of the promotion opportunities for doctors with limited registration it is believed that more qualified non - locally trained doctors will be willing to serve in Hong Kong
過去兩年，我亦曾出訪英國及澳洲，鼓勵更多合資格的非本地培訓醫生來港執業，當地的留學生反應非常正面。
In the past two years I have also visited the United Kingdom and Australia to encourage more qualified non - locally trained doctors to practise in Hong Kong and students from Hong Kong responded very positively
政府會繼續積極聯同駐外經濟貿易辦事處在海外推廣和宣傳有限度註冊安排。
The Government will continue to work proactively with the Economic and Trade Offices outside Hong Kong to promote and publicize the limited registration arrangement in overseas countries
食物及衞生局於2019年3月設立一個平台，邀請醫生業界的主要持份者，包括醫委會、香港醫學專科學院、香港醫學會、兩間醫學院、衞生署和醫管局的代表一起集思廣益，共同商討各個增加醫生人 手的可行方法。
The Food and Health Bureau set up a platform in March 2019 and invited major stakeholders of the medical sector including the representatives from MCHK the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine the Hong Kong Medical Association two medical schools the Department of Health and HA to draw on collective wisdom and discuss various feasible means to increase the manpower of doctors
我們會繼續利用這個平台跟進其他增加醫生人手的方法。
We will continue to utilize this platform to follow up on other means of increasing the manpower of doctors
主席，政府認同要繼續積極探討不同的做法，以紓緩公營醫療系統醫生人手不足的問題。
President the Government concurs that it should continue to actively explore different approaches to alleviate the manpower shortage of doctors in the public healthcare system
我希望先聽取議員的意見，然後在總結發言時作進一步回應。
I would like to listen to Members views before giving a further response in my concluding remarks
首先，我很感謝張宇人議員提出"制訂輸入非本地培訓醫生的新機制"議案。
First I would like to thank Mr Tommy CHEUNG for proposing the motion on Formulating a new mechanism for importing non - locally trained doctors
