很多院舍反映，它們不是不想增加人手比例，而是難於請人。
As reflected by many care homes rather than not willing to increase the staff - to - resident ratio they actually find it difficult to employ staff
但是，過往局方提供的青年護理服務啟航計劃，我們看到青年人即使在修讀課程後，很少人真正留在這個行業。
However from the Navigation Scheme for Young Persons in Care Services provided by the Bureau we see that even the young people have taken the study course only a few will really stay in this sector
他們可能以有關證書作為踏腳石，然後再修讀其他關於護理的證書課程，很少人留下做保健員或護理員。
They may take the certificate concerned as a stepping stone to study other nursing certificate courses and only a few will stay in the sector as health workers or personal care workers
我想知道，局方究竟是否有一些跟進的方向或計劃，令本地人手能夠留在這個行業或吸引新人手加入這個行業，否則問題便無法解決？
I would like to know whether the Bureau has any follow - up direction or plan so as to retain local manpower in the sector or attract new manpower to join this sector? . Otherwise the problem cannot be resolved
多謝劉議員提問。
I thank Dr LAU for raising this question
真正離開業界的人士，我想大約有兩成 多，不是劉議員想象中那麼多。
I think about 20 % of them have really left the sector which is not as high as imagined by Dr LAU
局方曾經承諾會增加院舍的透明度，局長剛才在回答時亦說過，其中包括將違規而被警告的安老院及殘疾人士院舍的紀錄公開，以增加阻嚇作用。
The Bureau at one time undertook to enhance the transparency of care homes including as mentioned by the Secretary just now in his answer making public a record on RCHEs and RCHDs which have been given warning for their irregularities so as to strengthen the deterrent effect
不過，當時他說這項建議要徵詢法律意見，再作具體落實的安排。
Nevertheless back then he said that legal advice needed to be sought for this proposal before putting in place some specific arrangements
此外，局長曾經承諾，會建立有關長期護理服務網頁，一站式提供安老服務的資料，包括服務表現。
Besides the Secretary has also undertaken to set up a website on long - term care services in order to provide a one - stop portal for elderly services information including service performance
當時他亦說會在2017年2月前推出，現在已是1月11日，我想問進展如何？
Back then he also said that this website would be launched before February 2017
多謝陳議員，他的記性相當好。
I thank Mr CHAN for his question . He has a good memory
我們沒有忘記這些承諾，其實正在處理中。
We have not forgotten these undertakings and are dealing with them
大家都知道，福利事務委員會主席邵家臻議員也知道，我們是很認真的，我們每個月討論的主打項目，就是院舍，此項目差不多是"主菜"，我們都很關心，所以我們不會"走數"。
As you all know and so does Mr SHIU Ka - chun Chairman of the Panel on Welfare Services we are very serious in this area . The major item or kind of main course of our discussion each month is care homes which are our main concern . We thus will not go back on our words
我們希望透過加強透明度、加強監管，加上立法會的關注，可以改變整個文化。
It is our hope that the overall culture can be changed through enhanced transparency strengthened regulation and the concern of the Legislative Council
我有信心可以向好的方面改變，只要有時間，我們一定可以改變文化。
I am confident that we can change for the better . Only if we have time we can surely change the culture
主席，局長在答覆中表示，會因應院舍違規事項的性質及嚴重程度，向院舍發出勸諭、警告或作出書面糾正指示，希望加以改善；局長亦表示會根據現時的《安老院條例》和《殘疾人士院舍條例》來進行有關工作。
President in the main reply the Secretary said that depending on the nature and severity of the irregularities the authorities will issue to the homes concerned advisory or warning letters or written directions requiring remedial measures to be taken in the hope that the services can be improved . The Secretary also said that they will handle the work concerned in accordance with the existing Residential Care Homes Ordinance and the Residential Care Homes Ordinance
但是，主席，我認為有關條例已經非常過時， 特別是有關標準根本不合時宜，如果根據有關準則來勸諭或警告院舍，我認為根本無效。
However President I think the Ordinances are already fairly out - dated and the criteria concerned are particularly untimely . If advisory or warning letters are issued to the homes on the basis of these criteria I think this will be to no avail
我想問局長，預算未來花多少時間進行所謂的查核工作，作為新法例的基礎？
May I ask the Secretary how much time will be spent in future on carrying out the so - called stocktaking exercise in order to provide a foundation for the review of the new legislation?
大家也知道，我們沒有姑息任何一名持牌人，也沒有因為搬遷院舍十分困難而投鼠忌器。
As people are aware we are neither indulgent towards licence holders nor thwarted by difficulties to relocate the residents of care homes when necessary
議員剛才問我們的時間表和路線圖，事實上，我們在福利事務委員會會議上已多次討論，並承諾我們會在年中展開工作。
Mr LEUNG asked about our timetable and roadmap earlier . In fact this issue has been discussed many times in the meetings of the Panel on Welfare Services in which we have undertaken to commence work in the middle of this year
有關今早討論的大埔第9區公屋計劃，即使政府也承認需要重新研究是否應該加入濕貨街市。
Regarding the public housing developments in Area 9 of Tai Po discussed this morning even the Government admits that it is necessary to reconsider whether wet goods markets should be added to the plan
現時，網上已有2,000名市民聯署，指出現時的交通配套不足是與規劃有直接關係。
So far 2 000 members of the public have already signed up on the Internet saying that the present inadequacy of ancillary transport facilities is directly related to planning
郭議員剛才點名批評我的修正案。請容許我現在直接回應。
Mr KWOK named my amendment for criticisms a moment ago so please allow me to give a direct response now
我在修正案清楚要求貫徹"一國兩制"、維護香港"高度自治"。
My amendment explicitly asks for compliance with one country two systems and the safeguarding of a high degree of autonomy
主席，政府當時派出了政制及內地事務局局長林瑞麟前來回應。
President the Government at that time asked Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Stephen LAM to give a reply in this Council
這屆政府是否已經無心戀戰，還是他們根本不把立法會放在眼內呢？
Is it because the current - term Government has already given up altogether? . Or is it because it simply does not attach any importance to the Legislative Council?
主席，"振英5年，禍港不斷"。
President CYs five - year rule has brought endless harms to Hong Kong
梁振英在過去5年出任行政長官期間，政治撕裂的情況變本加厲。
Political feuds have worsened incessantly over the past five years with LEUNG Chun - ying as the Chief Executive
以梁振英為首的特區政府用人唯親，煽動香港市民互相批鬥。
The SAR Government led by LEUNG Chung - ying has adhered to cronyism doing everything to incite bitter struggles among Hong Kong people
在"梁振英模式"下，香港過去5年動盪不斷。
Under the LEUNG Chun - ying Model Hong Kong has seen endless turbulences over the past five years
究竟甚麼是"梁振英模式"呢？
What exactly is the LEUNG Chun - ying Model?
主席，郭偉强議員、張華峰議員剛才提到創新科技。
President Mr KWOK Wai - keung and Mr Christopher CHEUNG talked about innovative technologies just now
如果政府真的這麼重視創意工業，為甚麼當天沒有人支持向港視發牌呢？
If the Government really attaches so much importance to creative industries how come no one supported HKTVNs licence application at that time?
梁振英在西九規劃比賽擔任評判，漏報利益。
LEUNG Chun - ying omitted a declaration of interest in relation to his involvement as a member of the Jury in the West Kowloon Reclamation Concept Plan Competition
立法會引用了《立法會條例》成立專責委員會進行調查。當時的結論是梁振英有不可推卸的責任。
The Legislative Council established a select committee under the Legislative Council Ordinance to conduct an inquiry and the conclusion was that LEUNG Chun - ying had unshirkable responsibility
大家可能已經忘記了，但這件事反映了甚麼？
Members may have forgotten this incident already . But what can it reflect?
這位特首在過去數年所豎立的這套施政模式，確實教人心寒。
This administration model established by this Chief Executive over the past few years really sends a chill down our spines
我們看得到的是，梁振英及特區政府均不願意聆聽民意。
We can see that LEUNG Chun - ying and the SAR Government are never willing to heed public opinions
梁振英很快便會成為歷史。
LEUNG Chun - ying will soon be history
主席，過去10年，我們看到整個特區政府的施政風格向西移，我指的是移向"西環"。
President we observe that over the past 10 years the entire SAR Government has turned westernized in its work in the sense that it has moved closer and closer to the Western District
中聯辦在香港的位置是一個聯絡辦公室。
The Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in the Hong Kong SAR is supposed to play the role of a liaison office only
我剛才說市民對於特區政府已經失去信心。
I have said that people have lost all trust in the SAR Government
當特區政府不聽香港人的聲音，凡事聽從"西環"的指揮，即使換上另一個人，對香港又有否幫助呢？
When the SAR pays no heed to the voices of Hong Kong people and listens only to the Western District can Hong Kong benefit in any way even if the Chief Executive is replaced?
香港是一個已發展的城市，我們需要有新的改革帶領社會向前走，令社會變得更公義。
Hong Kong is a developed city and we need new reforms to lead us forward and turn ourselves into a society with more justice
我們希望這個人真正能夠團結香港人。
We hope that the person can really unite all Hong Kong people
所以，我希望下一任特首真正有能力團結香港人，與香港人一起休養生息，不要再製造太多矛盾。
I therefore hope that the next Chief Executive can really unite all Hong Kong people and let them recuperate instead of stirring up any more conflicts
代理主席，很多聽障人士與正常人一樣，都是四肢健全，他們只不過是在聽覺和言語上存有障礙，以致未能與常人直接說話溝通，好像活在無聲世界中。
Deputy President many people with hearing impairment are as able - bodied as normal people except that they are unable to have direct spoken communications with normal people because of the barriers posed by their hearing and speech impairment . They are living in a world of silence
根據政府統計處於2015年出版的《香港的殘疾人士及長期病患者》報告，聽障人士數目自2007年的92,000人，上升至2013年的150,000人，不過，當中屬於完全聽障的大約只有10,000人。
According to the feature article entitled Persons with Disabilities and Chronic Diseases in Hong Kong released in 2015 by the Census and Statistics Department the number of people with hearing impairment increased from 92 000 in 2007 to 150 000 in 2013 . But only around 10 000 of these people have profound hearing loss
即使聽障人士數目不多，但我們絕對不能漠視他們的權益。
Despite the small number of people with hearing impairment we must not ignore their rights
今天討論的議案，提出規定電視新聞報道加入手語傳譯，這方面民建聯十分認同，因為可以幫助聽障人士在獲取新聞資訊時，除了依賴字幕外，也可以透過手語傳譯來接收信息，多一項輔助工具，相信可以幫助他們更容易理解信息，不至於與外界脫節，便於融入社會。
The motion under debate today proposes to require the provision of sign language interpretation for television news broadcasts . The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong strongly approves of this because apart from subtitles sign language interpretation will also help people with hearing impairment to receive messages when picking up news information . We believe that with the help of this additional assistive device they will find it easier to understand messages and integrate into society thus avoiding separation from the outside world
可是，現實情況是，香港合資格的手語傳譯員極為缺乏。香港獲正式註冊資格的手語翻譯員原來只有10多位，雖然坊間也有提供不同的手語翻譯課程，但質素缺乏監管和保證。
But the reality is that there is a severe shortage of qualified sign language interpreters in Hong Kong as there are just about a dozen sign language interpreters who are formally registered . There is a variety of sign language interpretation courses on offer in the market but there is no regulation and quality assurance
另一個重要的問題是，手語原來會因為不同種族、族群或居住在不同社區而有所不同。
Another big problem is that sign language varies by race ethnicity and the community in which a person lives
而聽障人士也並非完全依賴打手語來溝通，有些人會按不同程度的聽力而學習口語和唇語等與外界溝通。
Moreover people with hearing impairment do not rely solely on sign language for communication . Some of them will depending on their levels of hearing loss learn spoken language and lip - reading for communication with the outside world
舉例而言，當一個家庭中有聽障困難的成員，他們很自然便會自行創作一套簡單的家庭手語，或配合身體語言等來互相溝通，除了家人或相熟的親友外，外界是無法明白他們的對話的。
For instance a family with a member having hearing difficulty will naturally develop a simple set of sign language for its own use and may communicate with the help of body language as well . Apart from members or close relatives of the family no one from the outside world can understand their conversations
因此，我們認為要協助聽障人士融入社會，當務之急是要完善以下3項事情：第一，應該將現行不同類別、不同族群的手語統一和標準化，正如統一中文字一樣。
Therefore we maintain that if we are to help people with hearing impairment integrate into society the following three tasks must be done as a matter of urgency . First the different types of sign languages currently used by different ethnic groups should be standardized as in the case of the Chinese language
來自廣東和山東的人士，可以使用不同的方言和發音，但書寫的文字卻應該一致。
People from Guangdong and Shandong speak their respective dialects with different pronunciations but they all write the same Chinese characters
將手語標準化後，社會才能明白手語和動作的意思而不會混淆。
It is only when there is a standardized sign language that society can understand the meanings of signs and gestures without any confusion
第二，加強培訓手語人才的工作。
Second the training of sign language talents should be enhanced
我們建議當局投入更多資源，開設相關的培訓班，增加更多具有資歷的專業手語傳譯員，尤其是一些獲認可資歷的專業人員可以同時具有資格提供法律援助服務，使聽障人士遇到訴訟時，可即時獲得支援。
We advise the authorities to put in more resources for offering relevant training classes with a view to increasing the number of qualified professional sign language interpreters especially professionals with recognized qualifications enabling them to provide assistance in lawsuits . In this way people with hearing impairment can seek immediate support in case they get involved in any litigation
第三，加強宣傳和推廣，讓公眾對手語有普及的認識。
Third promotion and publicity should be stepped up so as to popularize the understanding of sign language among members of the public
香港電台曾經製作一個關於聾人生活的節目，當中的主角曾經這樣形容：手語世界是美麗的，例如形容一幅畫時，它可以描繪有多少棵樹，形狀是 怎樣，顏色是怎樣，可以把整幅picture show出來。
The Radio Television Hong Kong once produced a programme on the life of the deaf community . The main character remarked that the world in sign language is beautiful in the sense that when it comes to describing a painting for example sign language can detail the number shapes and colours of the painted trees . It can show the whole picture
我認為政府不應將推廣手語僅僅視為幫助聽障人士溝通的措施，反過來，打手語也可以成為說話以外的形象化溝通方式，將說話內容變得更立體。
I think the Government should not regard promoting sign language merely as a measure to assist people with hearing impairment in their communication . Instead it should recognize that spoken language aside sign language can also be a lively means of communication that makes messages much more vivid
今天香港人已經習慣做"低頭族"，經常利用智能電話書寫文字來與人聊天。
Nowadays many Hong Kong people are phubbers who chat with others by smartphone texting
記得有一套相關題材的微電影引言是這樣說："世界上最遙遠的距離，或許不是生與死的距離；也許是你站在我面前，卻聽不見我的聲音"。
I can remember the opening words of a certain micro movie on this issue Perhaps the widest distance apart is not the distance between life and death but that between you and me when you standing right before me hear me not . In contrast people with hearing impairment are very much focused when communicating in sign language
與聽障人士相比，他們打手語是全神貫注，用眼睛看着對方，察悉對方的表情和感受，似乎聽障人士之間的距離，較正常人之間的距離更為接近。
They will look at one another to read peoples facial expressions and feelings . It seems as though people with hearing impairment are closer with one another than normal people
最後，這次討論的議題是提出要落實手語成為香港官方語言，正如我剛才提及，現時手語未有統一的標準，專業的手語翻譯人才又極為缺乏，要令手語成為官方語言，在技術和執行上存在困難，因此，我們對議案只能投以棄權票。
Lastly the motion topic under discussion is about making sign language an official language of Hong Kong . As I have mentioned just now given that sign language has yet to be standardized and with a severe shortage of professional sign language interpreters there are still technical and operational difficulties to overcome before sign language can be made an official language . Hence I can only abstain from voting
我想分享一宗我在社區處理過的個案，用一個故事來說明，手語在社會上其實是有很實際的需要的，而對於失聰人士來說，手語也是很重要的權利。
I wish to share a case that I have dealt with in my constituency and use that story to illustrate that there is a practical need for sign language in society . Besides sign language is also an important right of the deaf
這宗個案的主角是社區內一位聾啞人士，他是一位拾荒者。
The person involved in this case was a deaf - mute a scavenger in my constituency
他經常把社會覺得是垃圾的東西收集起來，擺放在街上某處。
He collected things that people consider garbage and stored them at roadside
直到我們開始介入事件，社署便開始找手語翻譯員協助，才明白原來他拾荒的原因，部分是來自對於父親的寄託，而部分是因為他需要維持生計。
It was not until we intervened that SWD found a sign language interpreter to help . Eventually the reason why he collected scraps was unveiled . It was partly because of a mental projection of his regard about his father and partly because he had to support the sustenance of himself
最初，他以為政府部門針對他，要搶走他的個人物品， 直到手語翻譯員來到，他才知道自己對社區帶來多大的滋擾和障礙，情況其後有所改善。
At the beginning he thought that government departments were targeting him and robbing personal items from him . Later on he started to realize the nuisance and obstruction he had caused in the community after the appearance of sign language interpreter
本來情況已經有所改善，收集的物品已經受到控制，越來越少，不再阻塞道路。
At first the situation was improved and the items being collected were under control . Less and less scraps were piled up and no roads were obstructed anymore
但是，有一天他故態復萌，突然把所有東西都擺放出來。
However one day his problem relapsed . All of a sudden he put back all the things on the sidewalk
沒有的，只有一些社福機構才會提供，並且只有50多人而已。
No only some welfare organizations will do that and there are just more than 50 of them
所以，我們難以想象，他們要受過甚麼專業訓練才能得到認可呢？
For that reason it is difficult for us to imagine what kind of professional training should they obtain before they are given the due recognition?
社會其實是有進步的，剛才也有議員提到，在議員極力爭取下，立法會便有提供手語翻譯服務；我們看到某些電視節目，一些資訊和新聞節目也有手語翻譯服務，但仍然只是少數。
There is actually progress in society . Just now some Members have mentioned that the Legislative Council finally provides sign language service after they have striven for such service . If we turn on the television we can see that there are some sign language interpretations in certain information and news programmes but there is not that much
況且，如果這並非一套政策，現時有，日後社會風氣不同，沒有太多人記得他們，又會突然變成沒有。
Besides if it is a tentative arrangement and no policy is put in place properly then if the overall social climate changes drastically in future no one will remember them and hence this arrangement will vanish
由於這項政策並沒有延續性，如果沒有官方肯定，更不會有此政策，而電視節目所提供的翻譯服務亦不是標準的要求。
Since this policy has no continuity thus no such policy will be put in place in future if there is no official recognition . Furthermore the provision of sign language interpretation service by television stations is not a standard requirement
手語是失聰人士尤其是先天失聰的人士最先接觸的語言，也是他們最自然的一種語言。
Sign language is the first language that the deaf learn and it is also the most natural language to them
有人說過，社會如何對待弱勢人士，如何對待社會上的小眾，正好反映出社會的文明程度：究竟我們的社會是否文明？
Some people say that the way a society treats the underprivileged and the disadvantaged minority can reflect the degree of civilization in society and if our society is civilized
究竟政府是否用文明的方式來對待和接受使用手語溝通的人士？
Whether the Government actually adopts a civilized way to treat and accept people who use sign language as a means of communication?
政府是否承認這是他們的權利，讓他們與社會的主流可以共存？
Whether the Government recognizes it is their right so that they can co - exist with the mainstream society?
這全是要政府帶頭做的。
The Government should take the lead to do all of these
所以，我希望藉着今天的議員議案，讓政府反省一下，究竟我們帶領社會走向哪種文明程度。
Therefore I hope todays Members motion will make the Government to reflect on itself and to examine to what degree of civilization is it leading us to
主席，當局在2015年6月展開研究，探討仿效法國巴黎的拉德芳斯商業區、日本東京的地下街等，在尖沙咀西、金鐘/灣仔、銅鑼灣及跑馬地4個策略性地區內發展地下空間的可行性，以改善地面交通、增加社區設施和土地，以及紓緩擁擠的行人環境。
President the authorities launched a study in June 2015 to examine the feasibility of modelling after the business district of La Défense in Paris France and the underground streets in Tokyo Japan etc . to develop underground space in four Strategic Urban Areas SUAs namely Tsim Sha Tsui West AdmiraltyWan Chai Causeway Bay and Happy Valley with a view to improving road traffic providing more community facilities and land as well as alleviating the overcrowded pedestrian environment
當局已勾劃出初步規劃概念，並於去年11月展開為期3個月的"城市地下空間發展：策略性地區先導研究"第一階段公眾參與活動。
The authorities have drawn up the preliminary planning concepts and launched in November last year a three - month Stage 1 Public Engagement for the Pilot Study on Underground Space Development in Selected Strategic Urban Areas
香港地少人多，已發展的市區地方經常出現大量人流和車流，導致街道環境非常擠迫，往往出現水泄不通情況。
Hong Kong is a small city with a dense population . The streets in the developed urban areas are often clogged with heavy pedestrian and vehicular flow
由於密集的都市布局，令有關問題難以解決，大大限制了市區的可持續發展，亦未能滿足社會的需求。
The compact urban layout makes it hard to resolve the congestion problem and meet the demands of the community . It also imposes severe constraints on the sustainable development of urban areas
地下空間是隱藏的土地資源，如能有系統地加以運用，可締造新的機遇，以應付各種社區及商業設施需求及緩解市區因地面空間不足所引致的交通、環境等問題。
Underground space is a hidden land resource . If we can use it systematically it can bring new opportunities to meet various needs of social and commercial facilities as well as to address various issues including traffic environmental and so on due to inadequate at - grade space in urban areas
政府於2015年6月開展"城市地下空間發展：策略性地區先導研究"，揀選了銅鑼灣、跑馬地、金鐘/灣仔及尖沙咀西4個策略性地區作研究。
The Government commenced in June 2015 a Pilot Study on Underground Space Development in Selected Strategic Urban Areas the Study which has selected Causeway Bay Happy Valley AdmiraltyWan Chai and Tsim Sha Tsui West as four strategic urban areas SUAs for study
研究內容包括以下3點： i 探討在這些地區發展地下空間的機遇和合適性、須考慮的因素、當區的需要及可能用途等； 為這4個地區制訂地下空間總綱圖；以及 為具發展潛力的地下空間建議概念性的發展方案。
The scope of the Study includes the following three aspects i identify the opportunities suitability and considerations for developing the underground space in these areas the needs of local communities as well as possible uses of locations with potential for underground space development; ii formulate Underground Master Plans for these four areas; and iii develop conceptual development schemes for the potential underground space development
我們於去年11月展開了第一階段公眾參與，亦已諮詢灣仔和油尖旺區議會，以及城市規劃委員會和海濱事務委員會，並舉辦了3場專題小組會議與不同持份者探討相關議題。
We launched the Stage 1 Public Engagement PE1 in November 2016 . We consulted the District Councils of Wan Chai and Yau Tsim Mong as well as the Town Planning Board and Harbourfront Commission . We also held three focus group meetings to discuss relevant topics with various stakeholders
此外，我們正在不同地點舉行巡迴展覽，並開設專題網站，方便收集公眾意見和向公眾發放資訊。
In addition we organized roving exhibitions and established a dedicated website to collect views from the general public and disseminate information to them
待完成第一階段公眾參與後，我們會根據收集到的意見，着手擬備地下空間發展的概念方案，然後會就這些概念方案，進行包括土力、結構、消防安全、財務可行性、業權，以及對附近環境的影響等不同範疇的初步技術評估。
On completing the PE1 exercise we will develop conceptual schemes for underground space development with due consideration of the views received . Preliminary technical assessments on different aspects of these conceptual schemes including geotechnicalstructural constraints fire safety financial viability land ownership and impact on the surrounding environment will then be undertaken
我們會根據技術評估的結果，再就有關地下空間發展項目的初步發展時間及成本等進行估算。
Based on the findings of these technical assessments we will make projections for the preliminary development schedules and costs for the underground space development projects
預計相關工作可於2018年年初大致完成，之後我們會就有關的概念方案展開第二階段公眾參與。
We anticipate that these tasks should be substantially completed by early 2018 . After that we will launch the Stage 2 Public Engagement for the relevant conceptual schemes
總的來說，請恕我們在現階段未能提供林議員所需的詳細資料。
To sum up we cannot provide the information requested by Mr LAM for the time being
三 主席，至於啟德發展區內兩條已規劃的地下購物街，按"啟德分區計劃大綱核准圖"，它們全長約1,500米，分別連接九龍城和新蒲崗，以及沙中線的土瓜灣站和啟德站。
3 President as for the two planned underground shopping streets in the Kai Tak Development KTD according to the approved Kai Tak Outline Zoning Plan they are about 1 500 m long linking with Kowloon City and San Po Kong respectively and connecting to To Kwa Wan Station and Kai Tak Station of the MTR Shatin to Central Link
興建中的沙中線啟德站與土瓜灣站亦已預留接駁位置，以連接這兩條地下購物街。
We have already reserved connection points at these two MTR stations currently under construction for connecting with the underground shopping streets
由於這兩條地下購物街的主要部分將會相連或途經多塊發展用地，我們計劃把地下購物街與毗鄰的發展用地一併發展，並會要求發展商把其項目的部分零售樓面面積與地下購物街相連，以產生協同效益，提供舒適及具吸引力的購物及步行環境。
Since the major parts of these two underground shopping streets will adjoin or run alongside various development sites we plan to develop the two streets and their adjacent development sites together . To achieve synergy effect and provide a comfortable and attractive shopping and walking environment we will require the developers to arrange part of the retail floor area of their development sites to connect with the underground shopping streets
為方便市民日後使用地下購物街，我們將在地下購物街內設置24小時的無障礙行人通道和走廊。
In future barrier - free pedestrian walkwayscorridors will be available round the clock at the underground shopping streets for ease of access by the general public
我們計劃按相關發展用地的賣地時間表，分階段推展啟德發展區內的地下購物街，並透過適當的賣地條款，要求發展商興建、管理及營運與其發展用地相連的地下購物街。
To tie in with the land sale programmes of the development sites concerned we plan to implement the underground shopping streets in KTD in stages . Suitable land sale conditions will be imposed to require the developers to build manage and operate the underground shopping streets connected with their development sites
