議員對環境清潔非常關心，我們計劃新增專責執法小隊在全港不同區域加強執法力度，亦計劃於明年第一季開始試驗計劃，即是早前食物環境衞生署在棄置垃圾黑點安裝網絡攝錄機的試驗計劃推展至全港18區。
Members are very much concerned about environmental cleanliness . We plan to set up additional dedicated enforcement teams to step up law enforcement in different districts across the territory . We also have plans to begin in the first quarter of next year a pilot scheme which builds on a previous one under the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department by extending the installation of Internet Protocol cameras at hygiene blackspots to cover all the 18 districts
當然，我理解有議員提出希望可以使用更高科技的掃街車等，就此我們也會與時並進，希望可以考慮。
I certainly appreciate the wish of a certain Member to see the deployment of more high - tech street sweepers etc . We will keep ourselves up - to - date on this score and will hopefully take this into consideration
新農業政策方面，何俊賢議員作為業界議員，提出了很多寶貴意見。
As regards the New Agriculture Policy Mr Steven HO as a representative of the sector has made many valuable suggestions
我們會落實新農業政策，在籌備農業園第一期工程之餘，亦正籌備"農業優先區"顧問研究的招標工作，希望可以物色較大面積的優質農地。
We will implement the New Agriculture Policy . Apart from preparing for the Agricultural Park Phase 1 project we are also making preparations for the tendering of the consultancy study on designating Agricultural Priority Areas which hopefully would help identify larger pieces of high - quality agricultural land
漁業方面，我們已與相關部門完成檢討，以促進工廈空間使用作科技化和機械化的農業生產。
Insofar as the fisheries industry is concerned we have together with the relevant departments completed the review on promoting the technology - enabled and mechanized agricultural production by making use of spaces in industrial buildings
在促進動物福利方面，亦有多位議員非常關心。
The promotion of animal welfare is also an issue of enormous concern to many Members
我們繼去年修例加強規管動物買賣和繁育狗隻後，會進一步檢視現行與動物福利有關的法例，亦會研究在法例中引入對照顧動物的人士施加謹慎照顧和責任的概念。
Subsequent to last years amendments to the law which tightened the regulation of animal trading and dog breeding we will further study the existing legislation related to animal welfare and explore introducing in the legislation a concept of positive duty of care on animal keepers
我們會聚焦4個主要方向範疇，大力推展：第一，全力推動基層醫療健康；第二，持續改善公營醫療服務和設施；第三，完善公共衞生規管和推動醫療科技發展；及第四，積極推動中醫藥的發展。
Focusing our promotion efforts on four main areas we will first actively promote primary health care; second keep improving the health care services and facilities provided by the public sector; third enhance public health regulation and promote advancements in medical technology and forth proactively support the development of Chinese medicine
政府亦正積極籌備成立基層醫療發展督導委員會，以制訂發展藍圖、擬訂地區醫社合作的模式，以及在兩年內率先於葵青區設立以嶄新模式運作的地區康健中心，希望做好試點，將經驗逐步推展至其他地區。
The Government is also actively preparing for the establishment of a steering committee on primary health care with a view to formulating a development blueprint and drawing up a model for district - based medical - social collaboration . We will also set up a district health centre with a brand new operation mode in Kwai Tsing District within two years . By conducting the pilot scheme properly we hope to draw on the experience and progressively extend the scheme to other districts
大家都關心醫院管理局的醫療服務和改善服務質素，政府會投放足夠的資源和加強配套，持續改善公營醫療服務的設施和人手。
We are all similarly concerned about the health care services and the improvement of service quality of the Hospital Authority HA . Through the deployment of sufficient resources and the enhancement of supporting infrastructure the Government will keep improving the facilities and manpower of public health care services
多位議員關心我們在支援不常見疾病的工作，並給予我們意見。
Many Members expressed their concerns and gave us their views on our assistance to patients with uncommon diseases
我們會建議關愛基金援助項目可按個別病人的情況，資助合適病人參與個別藥廠的恩恤或特別用藥計劃。
We propose that the assistance programme under the Community Care Fund should provide these patients according to their individual situations with subsidies to participate in compassionate programmes of individual pharmaceutical companies or special drugs treatments
醫管局亦會於今年上半年完成檢討關愛基金項目中病人藥費的分擔機制，紓緩病人面對的財政壓力。
HA will complete in the first half of 2018 the review of the patients co - payment mechanism under the Community Care Fund Programme with a view to alleviating the financial burden on patients
人手方面，政府除公布一項關於人手規劃和專業發展的報告外，我們亦會大力推行有關建議，包括考慮增加醫生、牙醫、護士和相關 專職醫療人員的政府資助大學學額；醫管局亦會聘請所有合資格的本地醫科畢業生，以增加其人手；醫管局亦會提升其醫療培訓系統，並加強轄下護士診所，擴充手術護理診所和增聘藥劑師。
As to manpower in addition to publishing a report on manpower planning and professional development the Government will vigorously take forward the relevant recommendations which include considering increasing the number of publicly - funded undergraduate places for training doctors dentists nurses and relevant allied health professionals as well as employing through HA all locally trained medical graduates with the required qualification so as to increase its manpower . HA will also enhance its medical training mechanism set up more nurse clinics expand perioperative nurse clinics as well as increase the number of pharmacists
就香港醫務委員會的組成，醫學界、病人組織及立法會議員大致達成共識，我們亦已提交修正案予法案委員會審議，希望配合立法會的審議及通過條例草案。
The medical sector patient groups and Members of the Legislative Council have generally reached a consensus on the composition of the Medical Council of Hong Kong MCHK . We have already submitted our amendment proposal to the relevant Bills Committee for scrutiny in the hope of supporting the scrutiny work of the Legislative Council and securing passage of the Bill
至於自願醫保計劃，亦有多位議員提及。
Many Members have mentioned the Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme
我們計劃在2018年落實自願醫保計劃，以及為購買相關產品的市民提供稅務扣減。
We plan to implement the scheme in 2018 and will offer tax incentives for members of the public who procure such health insurance products
為了進一步推動中醫藥的發展，食物及衞生局將會成立專責發展中醫藥政策的組別，亦積極籌備將軍澳選址的首間中醫醫院，並預期於明年上半年公布中醫醫院的定位和有關顧問研究的結果。
As a further boost the Food and Health Bureau will set up a dedicated unit to oversee Chinese medicine development and is actively planning for the first Chinese medicine hospital at a site in Tseung Kwan O . Moreover a report on the positioning of the Chinese medicine hospital and the results of relevant consultancy study is expected to be released in the first half of 2018
主席，我希望議員支持施政報告中提出的各項食物安全、市政服務及醫療衞生的措施。
It is my hope President that Members will support the various measures regarding food safety municipal services and health care set out in the Policy Address
由於時間關係，其他在施政報告提出的政策及議員的問題、意見，我們已在立法會事務委員會盡力解答。
Due to the time constraint we have tried our best to explain in the relevant panels of the Legislative Council other policy proposals in the Policy Address as well as answering Members questions and views
我們亦會繼續致力與立法會和廣大市民一同努力，希望完善香港的食物安全和醫療機制。
We will keep striving to work together with the Legislative Council and the public for the enhancement of food safety and the health care system of Hong Kong
主席，對於這份施政報告，撇除最具爭議的政治問題不談，我們對於由一位曾任社會福利署署長的前公務員出任特首，以及由一位在社福界極具經驗的教授級人馬出任局長，抱有非常高的期望，特別在安老方面。
President putting aside the most controversial political issues given that the Chief Executive is a former civil servant having served as the Director of Social Welfare and the Secretary is a professor richly experienced in the social welfare sector we have very high expectations on this Policy Address particularly in respect of elderly care
主席，面對"高齡海嘯"，在2033年，即還有16年，將有三分之一的香港人達至高齡，現屆政府究竟有何願景？
President in the face of the ageing tsunami in 2033 16 years from now one third of the Hong Kong population will have reached their old age . What actual vision does the Government have?
令人失望的是，我們在這份施政報告中，看不到太多着墨。
Disappointingly we did not see much coverage on this in this Policy Address
主席，上屆政府的最後一份財政預算案預留了300億元用作復康和安老，但現時這300億元究竟會如何運用？
President the last Budget of the last - term Government earmarked 30 billion for rehabilitation and elderly care services but how will this funding of 30 billion be used now? . We see little mention about it
主席，單以居家安老為例，綜合家居服務照顧隊由10多年前成立至今，65歲以上的人口已超過100萬，政府不但沒有按人口增加而作出轉變，增加人手和資助，現在實際情況甚至是只有60支照顧隊服務全香港。
Since the Integrated Home Care Service Teams were set up some 10 years ago the number of people aged over 65 has exceeded 1 million . Not only did the Government make no changes to increase manpower and resources corresponding to the growth in the population . In the present actual situation there are even only 60 teams serving the whole territory
換言之，平均每1萬人也沒有1隊人手支援。
In other words on average for every 10 000 people there is not even one team providing support
政府加碼推出服務券，錢跟人走，只是將長者推向私人市場，實際上未能解決政府資助安老服務嚴重不足的實況，這種情況根本不能應對人口老化的問題。
The Governments provision of additional vouchers on the principle of money - following - the - user will only push the elderly to the private market . In fact it cannot resolve the actual serious lack of elderly services subsidized by the Government . As such it cannot address the problems of population ageing at all
主席，我們自今年年初，接二連三看到很多慘劇，均牽涉長期病患者和照顧者未能面對相關的壓力，很多時候照顧者，不論是配偶或子女，也採用了最極端和最不幸的方法來處理問題。
President since the beginning of this year we have seen tragedies occur one after another all of which involved the failure of chronic patients and their carers to face the relevant pressure . Very often the carers be they the spouses or children used the most extreme and miserable approach to deal with their problems
主席，其實我們現時最需要的是哀傷輔導、紓緩治療和居家照顧服務，但我們的制度能否有效地提供相應的協助？
Actually President now what we need most is bereavement counselling palliative care and home care services but can our system effectively provide corresponding assistance?
還是實際上，我們的制度在處理問題時缺乏同理心和資源呢？
Or does our system in fact lack empathy and resources in handling such problems?
主席，我希望在此對局長說，多派數張服務券是不能打發這些社會問題的。
President here I wish to tell the Secretary that handing out a few more vouchers is unable to dismiss these social problems
而令人感到非常悲痛的是，剛巧在施政報告發表的10月，葵盛邨便有一名34歲的兒子，即使聘請了兩名外傭，亦無法應付照顧病母的壓力，弒母後自殺。
It is most heart - rending that in October the same month when the Policy Address was presented a man aged 34 and living in Kwai Shing Estate was unable to cope with the pressure of looking after his sick mother even though he had already employed two foreign domestic helpers . He committed suicide after murdering his mother
主席，很可惜的是，政府此時竟然提出輸入外勞。
Regrettably President the Government surprisingly proposes importation of labour at this juncture
我想問社區安老和照顧者所需要的支援，是否多聘請幾名外傭便可解決？
May I ask if the support required by elderly community care services and carers can be secured by employing a few more foreign domestic helpers?
我希望政府和局長能夠看清楚問題所在。
I hope the Government and the Secretary can see clearly where the problem lies
實際上，究竟我們的政府對安老有何概念？
In fact what concept does our Government hold about elderly care?
主席，老人家最終需要的，其實是一個健全、適切和可負擔的社會制度，這制度可讓香港人，不論是長者或照顧者，在身體和精神狀態步入老年而退化的時候，能夠得到具尊嚴的保障。
President what the elderly ultimately need is actually a sound appropriate and affordable social system which enables Hongkongers be they elderly people or carers to enjoy protection with dignity during physical and mental degeneration when they have stepped into old age . Birth ageing illness and death are the stages of life which everyone must go through
生老病死無人可免，但政府現時會提供甚麼安全網或制度？
But what safety net or system is the Government going to provide now?
其實，不論照顧者或受照顧者，其身體、心理、社交和心靈均需要適切、全面和可負擔的支援，而一切均應由制度入手。
In fact both carers and care recipients need appropriate comprehensive and affordable support for their physical psychological social and spiritual health . All these issues should be addressed by starting with the system
我注意到施政報告提及在家離世、社區照顧、紓緩治療等，這些都是我和公民黨希望看到能真正落實的措施。
I have noted that the Policy Address mentions dying in place community care palliative care etc . These are measures which the Civic Party and I hope can be genuinely implemented
最後，針對這項關乎每個香港人如何能做到生死兩相安的政策，主席，我有以下的政策建議。
To conclude on this policy concerning how every Hongkonger can face life and death in peace President I have the following policy recommendations
回顧自1970年代末，香港跟隨英國的醫療制度，曾是亞洲區紓緩治療的先鋒，但當天和我們同步發展的台灣、南韓、日本和新加坡，今天已全部超越我們。
Back then having followed the British health care system since the late 1970s Hong Kong was once the pioneer of palliative care in Asia . However Taiwan South Korea Japan and Singapore which started such development at the same time we did have all surpassed us today
同是華人社會，台灣更排行第六，冠絕亞洲。
Taiwan also a Chinese society even ranks sixth the highest in Asia
究竟香港應如何迎頭趕上？
After all how should Hong Kong rouse itself to catch up?
政府表示，醫院管理局已就紓緩治療服務制訂策略框架，這是正確的方向。
The Government indicated that the Hospital Authority HA has formulated a strategic service framework on palliative care . This is the right direction
諸如增加護士每年家訪次數和培訓安老院舍人員等措施，也是正確的。
Measures such as increasing the frequency of home visits by nurses each year and providing training for the staff of residential care homes for the elderly are also correct
接着我想談談在家離世。
Next I would like to speak on dying in place
主席，在房屋為豪宅價錢、"劏房"尺寸的香港，想做到在家離世，的確是奢談，因為手續相當複雜。
President in Hong Kong where residential flats are priced as luxury flats but small like subdivided units dying in place is indeed an extravagant hope because the formalities are rather complicated
而且很 多時候病人的家人會慣性地召喚救護車，將病人送院治理。
Moreover very often the patients family members will as a usual practice call an ambulance to send the patients to hospitals for treatment
不過，隨着公民教育的推廣，不少長者其實已簽署預設醫療指示，表明彌留之際不接受無效搶救，我們應在制度上盡力配合，例如公民黨在今年2月就安老服務計劃方案提倡政府訂定新例，在醫管局或消防處建立次級的救援車服務，讓那些已簽署預設醫療指示，希望自然離世的市民，不需要動輒召喚一般救護車，這樣便可以避免創傷性救護程序，亦可以尊重長者意願，更可以減低醫院病床的負擔。
However following the promotion of civic education many elderly people have actually signed an advance directive in relation to medical treatment stating their refusal to futile life - sustaining treatment when death is imminent . We should comply with their wishes by all means in the system . For example in February this year the Civic Party advocated that the Government should formulate new legislation on setting up a secondary ambulance service in HA or the Fire Services Department so that members of the public who have signed an advance directive and wish for a natural death need not call for the usual ambulance service at every turn thereby avoiding invasive rescue procedures
最後我亦想談談社區照顧。
In closing I would like to talk about community care
主席，有一種法律文件名為"持久授權書"，香港法律改革委員會曾於2008年和2011年分別在兩份報告中提及這文件，是在未來人口老化、認知障礙症患者急增前，值得我們大力推廣的工具。
President there is a legal document called an enduring power of attorney which was mentioned in two reports by the Law Reform Commission of Hong Kong in 2008 and 2011 respectively . It is an instrument worth our vigorous promotion before population ageing and the surge of dementia patients in the future
持久授權書容許授權人很多時候是患上長期病患的長者在他精神上仍有行為能力時，委任某人為獲授權人很多時候是其子女或親戚以便獲授權人日後在該名長者在精神上缺乏行為能力時，可以按照他之前決定的財務計劃或安排，為他選擇應走的路。
An enduring power of attorney allows a donor―very often an elderly person with chronic illnesses―to appoint someone as an attorney―very often his child or relative―when he still has the mental capacity so that when the elderly person becomes mentally incapacitated in future the attorney can choose for him the path he should take in accordance with the financial plans or arrangements he has decided beforehand
這些周詳的計劃可以大大減輕公共服務，以及家庭在照顧失智長者時的負擔，亦令長者可以按其預早計劃的意願，花更多時間留在熟悉的社區，而不是在院舍頤養天年。
Such thorough plans can greatly reduce the burden on public service and that on families looking after the demented elderly . The elderly can also follow their prior plan as they wish on spending more time in the community with which they are familiar rather than passing the rest of their lives in residential care homes
雖然今次施政報告沒有提及這項法律工具，但我希望在此建議局長考慮。
Although this time the Policy Address did not mention this legal instrument here I wish to suggest that the Secretary give it consideration
持久授權書畢竟是複雜的，因為涉及家人、醫生和律師的商討過程，但現時我們難以找到具經驗的老人科、紓緩科，甚至癌症專科醫生提供專業意見。
The enduring power of attorney nevertheless is complicated because it involves processes of negotiations among family members doctors and lawyers but now it is difficult for us to find experienced specialists in geriatrics palliative care and even oncology to offer professional advice
鑒於前線醫護人手壓力非常大，我建議政府參照當值律師服務的制度，設立當值顧問醫生服務，邀請具經驗的退休醫生，為有意訂立持久授權書的市民，尤其在關乎個人照顧、對晚期病況的理解及可選擇的醫護照顧選項等事宜上，提供適切和專業的醫學意見。
Given the enormous pressure on the frontline health care staff I suggest that the Government draw reference from the Duty Lawyer Service system and set up a duty consultant service . It can invite experienced retired doctors to offer appropriate and professional medical advice to members of the public who intend to draw up an enduring power of attorney especially on matters relating to personal care interpretation of illness at an advanced stage and available options of health care
這制度既能活用退休醫療專業人才，又能提供清晰、透明，以及大眾可以負擔的醫學顧問服務，長遠而言，政府、社福機構、醫療系統和市民均可得益。
Such a system can let retired medical professionals give play to their expertise . It can also provide clear transparent and affordable medical advisory services to the public . In the long term the Government social welfare organizations the health care system and members of the public will stand to benefit
主席，在這次發言結束前，我希望再次以最大的誠意提醒局長，其實安老扶弱並非福利，而是市民的權利。
Before closing my speech in this session President I wish to remind the Secretary once again with my greatest sincerity that care for the elderly and the disadvantaged is not a welfare benefit
我希望現屆政府能夠提供保障，令每位市民可以安心，並且有尊嚴地享受晚年，落葉歸根，這才是文明和負責任的政府的所有施政應抱持的初心和基本態度。
It is the peoples right . I hope the current - term Government will provide protection so that every member of the public can enjoy their twilight years in their home town with dignity and free from worries . This is the original intention and basic attitude which should be held by a civilized and responsible government in its entire administration
大家也知道，行政長官較早前接受一份報章訪問時說，現時公屋有76萬多個單位，多興建4萬個單位便足夠了，令外界認為她提出一個"公屋封頂論"，引 起很大迴響。
As we all know when interviewed by a newspaper some time ago the Chief Executive said that there are now some 760 000 public rental housing PRH units and that the production of an additional 40 000 units would be sufficient . This led the community into thinking that she had proposed to cap the production of PRH units thus arousing considerable reverberations
上月底，行政長官已澄清她並非為興建公屋定下指標，80萬個單位亦非一個極限，令社會感到比較安心。
At the end of last month the Chief Executive clarified that she did not intend to set a target for the production of PRH units and that 800 000 PRH units was not a ceiling at all . This has made the community feel relieved relatively
我們的國家領導人把房屋的概念說得很清楚，首先是要滿足基本的住屋需要，不是用作炒賣。
Our state leader has made very clear the concept of housing which is to satisfy the basic housing needs before all else not to be used for speculation
我相信這個概念亦是香港政府多年來的基本施政方針。
I believe this concept ties in with the basic policy objective of the Hong Kong Government over the years
自從上世紀50年代石硤尾大火後，港英政府開始興建公屋，便是要滿足市民最基本的需要。
Since the Shek Kip Mei fire in the 1950s of the last century the British - Hong Kong Government launched the production of public housing precisely with the objective of meeting the most fundamental needs of the people
當時興建的公屋是比較簡陋的"清水房"，因為目標是讓災民或最基層的市民有瓦遮頭；但今時今日，隨着我們的生活水平不斷提高，市民對居住房屋的期望相應提高，公屋已不是純粹為了讓市民有瓦遮頭，而是要讓市民活得有尊嚴及有一定的生活質素。
The public housing units developed at the time were the more rudimentary type of plain flats because the objective was to provide the fire victims or the grass - roots people with a roof over their heads . But nowadays as our living standard continues to improve the public expectation for housing has become higher accordingly . Public housing is provided not purely for the people to have a roof over their heads but for the people to live with dignity and a certain degree of quality
代理主席，你和我也曾參觀一些新型的公屋，也知道這些公屋的質素相當不錯。
Deputy President you and I have visited some new PRH units and got to learn that the quality of these PRH units is quite good
興建公屋毫無疑問是穩定香港社會的一個非常重要的因素，正正是因為有大量公屋，才能讓香港在面對多次經濟衰退時，社會也沒有出現真正的亂子，這一點非常重要。
The production of PRH units is no doubt a vitally important factor contributing to the stability of our society in Hong Kong and it is precisely because of a considerable proportion of public housing that there have not been real troubles in society during a number of economic recessions weathered by Hong Kong before
對於政府的房屋政策，雖然特首說施政要有新思維和新風格，但由於房屋如此重要，我認為政府實在不應隨便更改對房屋政策的說法或概念。
This is very important . With regard to the housing policy of the Government despite the Chief Executives vows to adopt a new mindset and a new style in policy administration given the great importance of housing I think the Government indeed should not casually make changes to its statement or concept on the housing policy
房屋政策一定要有長時期的穩定性，即要有一致性及可預測性，不能忽然是扶貧，忽然是以置業為本，這是非常大的轉變，究竟背後有何理據？
The housing policy must have lasting stability that is it must have consistency and predictability . It cannot suddenly aim to alleviate poverty and then suddenly be oriented towards home ownership . This is a most major change
我希望陳帆局長可以代特首解釋清楚。
What is the rationale behind it? . I hope that Secretary Frank CHAN can explain it clearly on behalf of the Chief Executive
這位部長級官員指出，他的目標是一定要為市民提供可以負擔兼具質素的房屋。
This ministerial official pointed out that his objective is definitely to provide the people with affordable housing of quality
我希望這亦是陳局長的工作目標。
I hope this is also a work objective of Secretary Frank CHAN
如果政府手上有大量"貨源"，即有土地儲備，是可以達致這個願景，因為政府可以調控市場，但現在政府面對最大的問題是手上沒有"貨源"。
This vision would be realizable if the Government has an abundant source of supply that is an abundant land reserve with which the Government could then control the market . But the biggest problem faced by the Government now is the shortage of supply
行政長官最近在一次對商界的演說中亦已承認這一點，她說政府沒有land bank，最大的土地來源應該是新界，她甚至指出地產商在新界擁有土地，只要看看這些公司的年度報告便知道它們有大量土地儲備。
The Chief Executive already admitted this point when she made a speech to the business sector recently . She said that the Government had no land bank and that the biggest source of land supply should be in the New Territories . She even said that the real estate developers had land in the New Territories and that one needed only to take a look at the annual reports of these corporations to learn that they had a huge reserve of land
在政府手上沒有"貨源"的情況下，實在難以塑造房屋市場的階梯。
Given the shortage of supply on the part of the Government it is indeed difficult to create a ladder for the housing market
現時我們的房價高企，目前的房價更是歷史新高，並且在數天前，陳德霖總裁出席立法會會議時已向我們明言，利息將向上攀升並正常化。
Now our property prices are soaring with the current property prices hitting a record high . What is more a few days ago when he attended a meeting in the Legislative Council Chief Executive Norman CHAN told us expressly that the interest rate would rise and normalize
由於全球利息也會正常化，歐美"縮表"，並且在地緣政局不穩定的情況下，政府鼓勵市民置業，我認為是非常危險的，所以請政府三思。
Given expected normalization of the global interest rates the balance sheet shrink in Europe and the United States and unstable geopolitical conditions I think it is very dangerous for the Government to encourage the public to buy properties and therefore I urge the Government to think twice
我認同意剛才發言的麥美娟議員的說法，政府的房屋政策的確應該一如既往地以提供公屋作為首要目標，接着是"居屋"，然後才到私人房產市場。
I share the view of Ms Alice MAK who spoke earlier on . The housing policy of the Government indeed should make the provision of PRH units its primary objective just as it has been doing before followed by HOS flats and the private property market should only come next
房屋政策其實越簡單、越易明白、越穩定、越一致便越好，無謂令市場有不必要的猜想。
In fact the simpler the more easily understandable the more stable and the more consistent the housing policy is the better for this can pre - empt unnecessary speculation in the market
行政長官多次提出希望透過綠表置居計劃鼓勵公屋住戶或輪候人士購買公屋，因為政府未能及時興建樓宇，希望透過公屋的輪轉縮短輪候時間。
The Chief Executive has repeatedly encouraged PRH tenants or applicants on the PRH Waiting List to purchase PRH units through the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme GSH because the Government cannot provide housing units in time and so it is hoped that the waiting time for PRH units can be shortened through the turnover of PRH units
局長也多次說過，我們的10年建屋計劃是興建公屋280,000戶，他預計只能興建236,000戶，輪候時間達到4年7個月。
As the Secretary has said many times while our 10 - year housing production target is to develop 280 000 PRH units he estimated that only 236 000 can be provided and the waiting time will increase to four years and seven months
