我早在2017年，本會討論檢討政府外判制度的議案時便提出建議，要求政府在外判服務合約中，訂明標準工時和超時工資的補償，作為政府推動保障標準工時的起點，但有關建議顯然不獲政府接納，我對此感到失望。
As early as 2017 during the motion debate of this Council on reviewing the government outsourcing system I proposed stipulating in the outsourcing service contracts the terms and conditions on standard working hours and compensation for overtime work as the starting point for the Government in promoting standard working hours . But to my disappointment my proposal was apparently not accepted by the Government
關於改善外判制度的檢討，施政報告表示，負責檢討的工作小組提出增加評審標書工資所佔的比重、設立約滿酬金和盡可能採用最少3年的合約安排。
In regard to the review on improving the outsourcing system according to the Policy Address the working group responsible for the review suggests increasing the weighting of wage level in tender evaluation providing a contractual gratuity and adopting service contracts with a minimum term of three years where situations permit
有傳媒在去年揭發了有政府部門不按政府採購政策辦事，例如食物環境衞生署有街市的保安合約由評分制改為價低者得 等。
It was disclosed by the media last year that some government departments did not follow the Governments procurement policy . For example the security contract of a market under the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department was awarded under the lowest bid wins arrangements instead of the scoring system
我期望政府在改善外判制度的同時，亦應加強監察，確保部門按政府的採購政策辦事。
I expect that the Government while improving the outsourcing system can also step up monitoring of government departments to make sure that they will follow the procurement policy
主席，政府在相關的施政綱領第72頁中表示，政府在明年4月起會有一系列改善持續進修基金的措施，鼓勵市民持續進修。
President on page 82 of the related Policy Agenda the Government says that a series of enhancement measures for the Continuing Education Fund will be implemented from April next year to encourage the public to pursue continuing learning
事實上，一再有調查指出，香港是全球工時最長的地方，香港每周平均工時達52小時。
In fact surveys after surveys have found that Hong Kong is the place with the longest hours in the world with an average of 52 working hours per week
工時過長，才是阻礙市民終身學習的主因。
The main factor that prevents our workers from engaging in lifelong learning is long working hours
至去年年底，全港不足兩成勞動人口參與持續進修基金，反應甚差，我認為政府在持續進修基金上小修小補，而不立法保障標準工時，不能有效達到僱員終身學習的目標。
As at the end of last year less than 20 % of the labour force in Hong Kong had participated in the training programmes under the Continuing Education Fund a rather poor response . In my opinion the goal of lifelong learning pursued by employees will not be able to be achieved effectively if the Government only focuses on minor fine tuning of the Continuing Education Fund without introducing legislation on standard working hours
主席，我在此必須稱讚特首繼去年的施政報告後，再以較大篇幅討論職安健政策。
President I have to commend the Chief Executive for raising occupational safety and health policy for discussion again in some rather long paragraphs following the Policy Address last year in which she did the same
今年施政報告表示，政府會研究透過私營醫療服務，為工傷僱員提供適時及有系統的復康服務。
According to the Policy Address this year the Government will look into the provision of timely and well coordinated rehabilitation services for injured workers through private medical services
我支持政府這項建議，希望政府能盡快公布方案供社會討論，落實措施。
I support this recommendation from the Government and hope that the Government can as soon as possible announce details of this proposal for public discussion and then implement the measures concerned
在職業安全方面，我歡迎施政報告的建議，勞工處會對高風險行業加強巡查執法和檢討相關罰則，加強阻嚇力。
On the front of occupational safety I welcome the recommendations in the Policy Address that regarding high risk industries the Labour Department will strengthen its efforts on inspection and enforcement and will review the penalties of relevant legislation to amplify their deterrent effect
但是，這些建議在去年施政報告已有提及，我希望能夠盡快成事。
These recommendations however were also found in the Policy Address last year . I hope that they can be implemented very soon
按勞工處公布的今年上半年工業意外個案，共有5,000多宗工傷意外和7宗死亡個案，數字較去年上半年略好，但這是否真實的工傷數字呢？
According to the data on industrial accidents released by the Labour Department in the first half of this year there were over 5 000 industrial injury cases and seven fatal industrial injury cases . The figures were slightly lower than those in the first half of last year but are they the real figures of industrial injuries?
在本世紀初，英國經大型勞動人口調查後，整合了一個評估工傷意外的比率，提出每宗致命個案是由1,772宗超過兩天病假的工傷構成。
At the beginning of this century after conducting a large - scale survey on labour force the United Kingdom came up with a ratio in the assessment of industrial injuries and accidents that behind each fatal case there were 1 772 work injury cases with more than two days of sick leave
若以此評估今年上半年的工傷意外，7宗死亡個案的背後，應有12,404宗涉及兩天病假以上的工傷意外。
If we make an assessment of the industrial injuries and accidents in the first half of this year with this ratio we understand that behind these seven fatal cases 12 404 industrial injury cases with more than two days of sick leave should be involved
我相信現時的工傷意外申報遠遠未能反映實際情況，我要求政府應全面檢討工傷申報機制。
I believe that the existing system of reporting industrial injuries and accidents can hardly reflect the real situation and thus request that the Government should comprehensively review this system
主席，在關乎勞工的辯論環節中，我不能不提輸入人才和外勞政策。
President in the debate session concerning labour issues I cannot help but mention the subject of importation of talents and the labour importation policy
以輸入內地人才計劃為例，在2017-2018財政年度，獲批准來港工作的人士有12,740人，但有四成人沒有學士學位，三成人的月薪不足2萬元。
Take the Admission Scheme for Mainland Talents and Professionals as an example In the 2017 - 2018 financial year 12 740 people were approved to come to work in Hong Kong but among them 40 % were not degree holders and 30 % of them earned less than 20,000 per month
人才何價？
Are these talents worthwhile?
何以人才的每月收入不足2萬元？
Why some of these talents earn less than 20,000 per month?
施政報告提及政府在今年年中先後會推出科技人才入境計劃及人才清單，上述計劃及措施尚在推行初期，我不希望新措施重複所謂人才計劃的漏洞。
The Policy Address says that the Government introduced the Technology Talent Admission Scheme and the Talent List one after another in the middle of this year . The above scheme and measure were still in their preliminary stages of implementation and I do not want to see similar loopholes witnessed in the so - called talent schemes
施政報告重提擴大輸入外勞的建議，表示政府已經透過多項措施協助安老院舍增加人手，接下來需要處理的是何時及如何落實讓資助 安老及復康院舍輸入照顧員。
The Policy Address brings up again the proposal to extend the importation of labour . It says that the Government has been through a number of measures assisting the residential care homes for the elderly RCHEs in the employment of additional manpower . What it needs to do next is to determine when and how to implement the importation of carers in subsidized elderly service and rehabilitation service units
特首的言下之意，是已經決定為安老院舍輸入外勞。
What the Chief Executive implies is that she has already decided to import labour for RCHEs
事實上，所謂多項協助院舍增加人手，漏洞百出；例如去年的施政報告提出會提升資助院舍照顧員兩個薪級點，但實際上，仍然有不少資助院舍以低於社會福利署的起薪點水平來聘請照顧員。
In fact the various measures for increasing manpower in RCHEs are full of loopholes . For instance the Policy Address last year mentioned that the salaries of carers in these subsidized RCHEs would be increased by two pay points . But in reality many subsidized RCHEs are still employing carers at a level below the starting salary point set by the Social Welfare Department
對於輸入勞工，勞工界的立場很清楚，是必須確保本地僱員的工作機會及薪酬待遇不受影響。
Concerning the importation of labour the stance of the labour sector is very clear . The Government must make sure that the employment opportunities and remuneration of local employees will not be affected
勞工及福利局局長早前在立法會人力事務委員會的會議上回覆我，表示會進行調查以了解安老院舍薪酬待遇的改善情況。
In response to my question at the meeting of the Legislative Council Panel on Manpower earlier on the Secretary for Labour and Welfare said that a survey will be conducted to learn more about the improvement of remuneration in RCHEs
現時有關調查尚未完成，特首便一錘定音，要在資助院舍輸入照顧員，做法並不恰當。
But before the completion of the survey the Chief Executive has made a final decision to import some carers to work in subsidized RCHEs which is not an appropriate move
主席，冬季流感將至，儘管施政報告稱香港享有高質素的醫療服務，但實際上，香港醫療服務已極為緊張。
President the winter influenza season is approaching . Although the Policy Address says that Hong Kong has high quality health care services in reality the health care services in Hong Kong are very stretched
流感高峰期未到，急症室已瀕臨"爆煲"，有候診病人要等候十多二十小時，醫護人員也疲於奔命。
Before the onset of the winter influenza peak the accident and emergency departments in hospitals are so crowded that some patients need to wait for nearly 20 hours and the health care personnel are also exhausted
大家也重視醫護人手不足，我在此想特別指出，支援職系人員是整個醫療系統內最基層的員工，亦是最不受重視的員工。
The shortage of health care personnel is of concern to all of us . I would like to particularly point out here that supporting staff are at the most junior level in the entire health care system and are also given the least attention
他們長期工作繁重，有傳媒報道，平均每一位支援職系人員要面對15名病人，但薪酬與工作不成正比，以致流失率高企。
Their workload is constantly very heavy . According to a media report each staff member of the supporting grade has to deal with 15 patients . However since their salaries are not commensurate with the workload the wastage rate is very high
面對流感高峰期，政府在醫療衞生增撥資源的同時，不能忽略在最前線打拼的基層員工。
In the face of the winter influenza peak while the Government is allocating additional funds to health and medical services it cannot overlook the junior level staff who are working very hard on the frontline
我希望政府能增加前線員工的津貼，盡快填補編制人手的空缺和全面檢討支援職系的薪酬架構。
I hope that the Government can increase the allowances to frontline staff quickly fill the vacancies in staff establishment and holistically review the remuneration structure of supporting grades
主席，在施政報告公布後，整個社會都聚焦在動用5,000億元公帑進行的大填海計劃，即"明日大嶼"計劃。
President after the delivery of the Policy Address the focus of the entire community has been on Lantau Tomorrow the mega reclamation project which costs 500 billion public money
毫無疑問，這是個相對容易獲得土地的方案，在香港基建工程陸續完成之際，一個更大規模的基建計劃，將為建造業提供更多就業機會。
Without a doubt this proposal is a relatively easy way to obtain land . With the completion of infrastructure works in Hong Kong one after another an even larger infrastructure project is going to provide more job opportunities in the construction industry
作為勞工界代表，我理應支持政府的建議。
As a representative of the labour sector I am duty - bound to support the Governments proposal
在"明日大嶼"計劃公布後，社會議論紛紛，出現不少反對聲音，這些反對聲音不純是政治噪音，很多市民有可以理解的憂慮。
The announcement of the Lantau Tomorrow plan has triggered heated discussion in the community with many dissenting voices which are not pure political noise . Many people have some understandable worries
從宏觀來說，全球暖化導致海平面上升，填海造地要承擔的風險如何估算？
From a macro point of view global warming causes a rise in sea level . How should we estimate the risk associated with reclamation?
從微觀上看，在廣深港高速鐵路和港珠澳大橋通車後，"一小時生活圈"令香港腹地大增，發展空間很大，亦有言論認為政府應以更宏大的視野看待香港發展。
From a micro point of view after the commissioning of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL and the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge the hinterland of Hong Kong swells with the materialization of the one - hour living circle and we now have massive space for development . Some views hold that the Government should broaden its perspective further when considering Hong Kongs development
香港地少人多，如何面對人口增長？
Hong Kong is a small but densely populated city . How are we going to cope with population growth?
我在去年就施政報告的發言中，已指出幫助中港家庭團聚的單程證計劃，由1982年起實施至今，幾經演變，透過計劃來港的人口已超過140萬人。
In the speech I made last year on the Policy Address I pointed out that the One - Way Permit Scheme which to enables Mainland - HKSAR family reunion has undergone multiple many changes since its inauguration in 1982 with more than 1.4 million people having settled in Hong Kong through the scheme
計劃實施已超過30年，當初落實計劃的環境到今天已有翻天覆地的變化，無論從家庭團聚或人力資源發展的角度來看，計劃也有檢討的必要，特區政府的"明日大嶼"計劃亦提供機會，讓特區政府向中央政府提出檢討家庭團聚計劃。
There have been sea changes in the circumstances under which the scheme was introduced more than three decades ago necessitating a review both from the family reunion and the human resources development perspectives . The Governments Lantau Tomorrow provides a chance for the Special Administrative Region SAR Government to raise with the Central Government the need to review this family reunion scheme
主席，對大部分香港市民而言，5,000億元是天文數字。
President 500 billion is an astronomical number to the majority of Hong Kong people
儘管政府已經澄清，"明日大嶼"計劃並不是一筆過動用5,000億元，該筆費用是很長遠的開支，但要消除市民的疑慮並不容易。
Despite the Governments clarification that the 500 billion will not be spent in one go for the Lantau Tomorrow plan as it will be a long - term expenditure it is still not easy to dispel peoples concern
我不希望"明日大嶼"計劃的宏圖大計在社會撕裂出一道傷口。
I hope that the grand Lantau Tomorrow plan will not tear the community apart
"明日大嶼"計劃和已經完成的高鐵和港珠澳大橋不同，它完全是香港內部的規劃，我們應如何規劃大嶼山的發展，同時減輕社會的震盪，這是對特區政府智慧的考驗。
Unlike XRL and the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge this project falls entirely within the realm of our internal planning . How to plan the development of Lantau while minimizing its social repercussions will be a test of the wisdom of the SAR Government
主席，在交通運輸方面，施政報告提出數項政策紓緩交通擠塞的問題，包括三隧分流，擠塞徵費等措施。
President on transportation the Policy Address puts forth several policies to alleviate congestion including such measures as the re - distribution of traffic among the three cross - harbour tunnels and congestion charging
施政綱領亦提到在2019年上半年就電子道路收費先導計劃諮詢持份者的意見。
It is also proposed in the policy agenda that stakeholders will be consulted in the first half of 2019 with regard to the Electronic Road Pricing Pilot Scheme
我期望政府就上述政策為車輛訂定收費水平時，能夠以公平原則看待不同的公共交通工具及商業車輛。
I hope the Government will adhere to the principle of fairness when formulating fees for various means of public transport and commercial vehicles in relation to the policies above
運輸及房屋局局長早前表示，稍後會在立法會交通事務委員會交代三隧分流的詳細方案，但即使是流量相對較少的西區海底隧道，現時交通也很繁忙。
The Secretary for Transport and Housing said earlier that a detailed proposal on the re - distribution of traffic among the three cross - harbour tunnels will be presented to the Legislative Council Panel on Transport later . While traffic flow at the Western Harbour Crossing is said to be low relatively the volume of traffic is in fact rather heavy at present
有職業司機向我反映，憂慮如果三隧分流後，可能出現紅磡海底隧道和東區海底隧道的交通稍微紓緩，但西區海底隧道嚴重擠塞的狀況，結果弄巧成拙。
Some professional drivers relayed to me their worry that the traffic re - distribution measure might result in a slight improvement in the traffic conditions at the Cross Harbour Tunnel and the Eastern Harbour Crossing but a serious congestion at the Western Harbour Crossing which is counterproductive
三隧分流涉及修改法例，一些數字的模擬推算可能與事實有很大的差距，我希望政府能提出一些試行方案，讓事實證明三隧分流的成效。
Given the re - distribution of traffic among the three cross - harbour tunnels involves legislative amendment the simulation model projections of certain figures may deviate a lot from the reality I hope the Government will put forward some pilot plans as to prove with facts the effectiveness of the re - distribution of traffic among the three cross - harbour tunnels
主席，施政報告亦提出其他交通政策，例如增加商用車輛的泊位。
President the Policy Address has also put forth other transport policies such as increasing the provision of parking spaces for commercial vehicles
就此，從業員除了關注晚間長時間停泊車位不足，亦關注泊位的地點、上落客貨位置不足等問題。
In this regard apart from inadequate supply of long - hour night parking spaces trade practitioners have expressed concern about issues such as the location of parking spaces and the inadequate provision of loadingunloading areas
施政報告亦提出淘汰歐盟IV期柴 油商用車。
The Policy Address has also proposed the phasing out of Euro IV diesel commercial vehicles
從環保角度而言，逐步淘汰柴油車輛不可避免，但政府必須考慮更換引擎對職業司機的影響。
While the phase - out of diesel vehicle is inevitable due to environmental consideration the Government must carefully consider the ramifications of engine changes for professional drivers
上述的各項交通運輸政策對業界有直接影響，我希望當局在推出政策時，能夠仔細聆聽從業員的聲音。
The various aforementioned transport policies will have a direct bearing on the sector I hope the authorities can carefully listen to practitioners voices when rolling them out
代理主席，本港住屋問題嚴峻，由董建華時代已開始，歷屆政府均表示非常重視房屋問題，因此每年的施政報告也一定少不了房屋這部分。
Deputy President the housing problem in Hong Kong has been serious . Since the era of TUNG Chee - hwa all the previous Governments said that great importance was attached to housing problem housing has become an essential part of the policy address every year
根據香港房屋委員會最新的2018-2019年度至2022-2023年度的公營房屋建設計劃數字，每一年度的出租公屋及資助出售公屋的建屋量，均低於《長遠房屋策略》中未來10年期每年公營房屋建屋量的平均數28,000個單位，其中2022-2023年度總建屋量，更只有14,400個單位，僅及《長策》目標的一半。
According to the latest forecasts of the Hong Kong Housing Authority HAs Public Housing Construction Programme PHCP for the period 2018 - 2019 to 2022 - 2023 the production of public rental housing PRH units and subsidized sale flats SSFs each year is less than the average annual public housing production of 28 000 units for the ten - year period in the Long Term Housing Strategy LTHS with the total production for 2022 - 2023 being only 14 400 units attaining just half of the LTHSs target
代理主席，就房屋供應不足問題，我們知道興建房屋需要長時間。
Deputy President in respect of the shortage in housing supply we know that housing construction takes a long time
最重要的是，政府是否應該為目前住在一些不太理想的居住環境的市民提供一些援助，或制訂一些政策以解決他們面對的問題呢？
Most importantly should the Government provide some assistance to the people who currently live in unsatisfactory living conditions or formulate policies to solve the problem they face?
自上屆梁振英政府開始，我們已不斷地討論一個重要問題，便是會否實行租務管制，以幫助現時住在"劏房"的市民。
Since the previous - term LEUNG Chun - yings Government we have been conducting continuous discussions on an important issue ie . whether tenancy control should be introduced to help the people who are now living in the subdivided units
身為建制派的前立法會主席曾鈺成也表示，這項計劃實在是一項出自密室的計劃，他也看不過眼，所以作出批評。
Why should we do this? . Even Jasper TSANG a member of the pro - establishment camp and the former President of the Legislative Council regarded it as a plan originated in secrecy which was more than he could bear he subsequently voiced criticism
因此，我認為現在最迫切的，不是討論未來填海興建人工島的問題。
Therefore I think the most urgent thing to do now is not to discuss the reclamation of an artificial island for the future
我們看到政府如真的這樣做，無論是效益和建屋速度都遠較人工島計劃為佳。
We believe that if the Government moves in this direction the efficiency and speed of housing construction will be far better than those on the artificial island plan
我認為現在的政府不應該這樣，政府應該面對現實，多些考慮市民目前的處境，多加解決燃眉之急的問題。
I think that the current - term Government should not act this way . The Government should face the reality and care more about the current situations of the people and do more to meet their pressing needs
政府可否加重力度，運用自己的官地，多興建臨時或過渡性房屋，以解決長時間輪候公屋的居民的需要呢？
Can the Government make extra efforts to build more temporary or transitional housing on Government land to meet the needs of the residents who have been waiting for public housing for too long?
所以，代理主席，我一方面極力反對"明日大嶼"計劃，同時希望政府多着眼目前中短期的房屋需要，而不僅是着重投放這麼多資源作長遠發展。
Therefore Deputy President while I strongly oppose the Lantau Tomorrow Vision plan I hope that the Government will pay more attention to the short - and medium - term housing needs at present instead of merely focusing on putting in so many resources for long - term development
例如，這兩個新建議的街市，我們看不到會設置熟食中心。
One example is that the two proposed new markets as we can see will not have cooked food centres . Another example is that the market to be built in Tin Shui Wai can actually bring convenience to people living in certain parts of Tin Shui Wai only
又例如天水圍街市，它其實只能夠方便某部分居民，天水圍北的居民完全未能受惠，因為對他們來說，這個街市太遠，他們寧願乘搭輕鐵前往元朗的大橋街市，也不會前往這個新街市；而且，這個新街市亦沒有大家期待的熟食中心等配套設施。
Those who live in Tin Shui Wai North are unable to benefit from this market because it is too far away for them . They would rather take the Light Rail Transit to Tai Kiu Market in Yuen Long than going to this new market . What is worse ancillary facilities like the much - anticipated cooked food centre is nowhere to be found in this new market
政府自以為構思很厲害，公布後會獲得大眾的掌聲，但很可惜，由於政府並不理解地區的情況，亦未能了解民意，故此，即便是很厲害的構思，對街坊來說也並非最好。
The Government was smug about its self - proclaimed brilliant idea thinking that it would be applauded by the public upon announcement . Regrettably the truth is that the Government simply failed to understand the local condition as well as the views of the public thus unable to produce the most desirable outcome in the eyes of the local residents no matter how brilliant the idea is
溝通的問題不單在這兩個選址上顯示出來。
Communication problems however have been exposed not only by the two selected locations
經查詢後，我們始知原來因為要進行街市現 代化，所有公眾街市的檔位暫停招標，但食環署卻沒有向外公布。
Upon enquiry we learnt that all auctions of public market stalls were suspended for the implementation of market modernization but FEHD had made no public announcement about it
這種沒有時間表、沒有具體規劃又跟地區及社會缺乏溝通的做法，令興建新街市，這本是我們該拍掌歡迎的一件好事變成政府滿以為很厲害，但對市民來說卻不是最好的事。
There is simply no timetable or concrete planning . Nor does it have sufficient communication with the districts and society . Handling the matter in such a way FEHD has turned the building of new markets―something which should have been welcomed and applauded―into what the Government considers brilliant but the public think otherwise
既然康健中心是為了預防市民患病，我們希望康健中心可以加入例如預防中風的心房顫動篩查這類服務，減少市民因患病到醫院求診的需要。
As DHC is set up for the prevention of diseases we hope that services such as atrial fibrillation screening which is for the prevention of stroke can be added to the array of services provided by DHC thereby reducing peoples need to seek medical attention in hospitals due to illnesses
此外，在發展基層醫療方面，我們希望局長不要只停留在發展康健中心，而是就整個基層醫療作出規劃，特別是人手規劃，那是非常重要的。
Furthermore in respect of primary health care development we hope that the Secretary will go further than only establishing DHC and formulate an overall plan for primary health care especially manpower planning which is of great importance
我們希望政府長遠能增加醫護人手，而且，不要忽略在醫院管理局內一大群前線支援職系的員工。
It is our hope that the Government will increase health care manpower in the long run and will not neglect the frontline supporting staff in the Hospital Authority HA
我認為要多管齊下，一方面，政府應增加牙科醫護人手的培訓，讓我們有足夠的牙醫；另外，在公營醫療方面，如果政府不能夠大力發展的話，便應考慮向長者提供長者牙科券。
So I think the Government should make multi - pronged efforts . On the one hand it should increase the training places for dental care personnel so that there will be sufficient dentists; and on the other hand it should consider introducing elderly dental care vouchers if it is unable to vigorously develop dental services in the public health care sector
我們很高興，政府一直都有接納我們這份政策綱領中的建議，包括已成立了一個由政務司司長統籌的少數族裔督導委員會；另外亦會加強傳譯服務。
We are glad that the Government has been receptive to our proposals in this policy agenda . For example the Ethnic Minorities Steering Committee has been set up under the coordination of the Chief Secretary for Administration; and interpretation service will be enhanced
同時，由於小朋友首次接觸社會及接受教育是由幼稚園開始，故此，我們認為政府應繼續推動幼稚園以中文作為第二語言的課程，鼓勵幼稚園增聘多一些教師及聘用少數族裔教學助理，為非華語學童提供一個學習中文的優質環境。
Meanwhile since kindergarten is where children first come into contact with society and begin their education we think the Government should keep promoting the curriculum of teaching Chinese language as a second language in kindergartens . Kindergartens should also be encouraged to employ more teachers and take on people of ethnic minorities as teaching assistant so as to provide NCS students with a quality environment for learning Chinese language
在醫療衞生方面，我們在未來1年會繼續在6個主要的政策範疇聚焦工作和投放資源，包括全力推動基層醫療健康服務；加強疾病防控；積極發展中醫藥；強化醫療服務；確保醫療系統能夠可持續發展；以及不斷完善公共衞生規管。
On medical services and health we will in the forthcoming year continue to focus on six major policy areas and allocate resources to them . These include sparing no efforts to promote primary health care services promoting disease preventioncontrol proactively developing Chinese medicine strengthening health care services ensuring the sustainable development of health care system and continuously enhancing the regulation of public health
多位議員很關心基層醫療健康服務及其在香港的發展，並提出了很多寶貴意見。
Many Members are highly concerned about primary health care services and its development in Hong Kong . They have provided a lot of valuable comments in this regard
基層醫療是整個醫療系統的第一層。
Primary health care is the first level of care in the entire health care system
我們需要於社區內提供全面和協調各界的基層醫療服務，從而希望提升公眾健康的水平，扭轉目前以治療為主的醫療服務，減少不必要地使用醫院服務。
It is necessary for us to provide within the community primary health care services that are comprehensive and coordinate with various sectors with the view of enhancing the level of public health shifting the current focus of health care services away from providing treatment and reducing the unnecessary use of hospital services
