主席，從局長的答覆，我看不到她急市民所急。
President judging from the Secretarys reply I cannot see her share the peoples urgent concern
但不要緊，大家都希望為市民做事，我嘗試循着局長的思路來想。
But never mind . We share the same aspiration to work for the people . Let me try to follow the Secretarys train of thought
主要是這方面的討論，以及專業人員之間的交流，希望可以提高大灣區的醫療水平。
The discussions were mainly focused on this aspect as well as on exchanges among professionals with a view to enhancing the health care standard in the Greater Bay Area
據悉，公立醫院醫生人手不足，令不少病人延誤就醫。
It is learnt that manpower shortage of doctors in public hospitals has caused delay in the treatment of quite a number of patients
例如，醫院管理局轄下專科門診新症輪候時間最長達3年10個月。
For instance the longest waiting time for new case booking at the specialist outpatient clinics under the Hospital Authority HA is as long as three years and ten months
主席，鑒於香港人口老化和公營醫療系統超出負荷，以致公營醫療系統醫生人手供應一直嚴重不足。
President owing to an ageing population and an over - burdened public health care system the shortfall in the supply of doctors has been serious in the public sector
食物及衞生局於今年3月設立了平台，與香港醫務委員會、香港醫學專科學院、香港醫學會、醫院管理局、本地兩間設有醫學院的大學和衞生署的代表共同商討增加醫生人手的可行方案。
The Food and Health Bureau set up a platform in March this year engaging representatives from the Medical Council of Hong Kong MCHK the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine HKAM the Hong Kong Medical Association the Hospital Authority HA the two local universities with medical schools and the Department of Health to discuss about practicable options to increase the supply of doctors
其中，醫委會在今年8月起將已通過執業資格試的非本地培訓專科醫生的評核期由6個月縮短為兩天。
As a result of these discussions MCHK has shortened the period of assessment for non - locally trained specialist doctors who have passed the Licensing Examination from six months to two days starting from August this year
我們預期此舉將可吸引更多合資格的非本地培訓專科醫生來港執業。
We expect that this will attract more qualified non - locally trained specialists to practise in Hong Kong
此外，為了進一步增加非本地培訓醫生來港在公營醫療系統服務的誘因，政府現正在不影響本地醫生接受專科培訓機會的前提下，探討更有效地為他們提供專科培訓。
To provide more incentive for non - locally trained doctors to serve in the public health care system in Hong Kong the Government is exploring more effective ways to provide specialist training for non - locally trained doctors without compromising specialist training opportunities for locally trained doctors
醫專轄下的相關專科學院及醫管局現正研究有關計劃的執行細節，期望能吸引更多非本地培訓醫生來港服務。
Relevant colleges under HKAM and HA are studying the implementation details with a view to attracting more non - locally trained doctors to serve in Hong Kong
政府會繼續密切留意情況，並與醫療業界的相關持份者和機構保持緊密溝通，探討其他增加醫生人手的措施。
The Government will continue to closely monitor the situation and maintain close communication with relevant stakeholders and organizations of the medical profession so as to explore other measures to increase the supply of doctors
就蔣麗芸議員所提出的質詢，我現答覆如下： 一 政府並沒有訂立醫療專業人員與人口比例的指標。
My reply to the question raised by Dr CHIANG Lai - wan is as follows 1 The Government has not set any target ratio between medical professionals and the population
就醫管局而言，因應每名病人的情況和需要，醫管局會提供不同種類和程度的服務，因此沒有規定醫療專業人員與病人的比例。
As for HA different types and levels of services are provided having regard to the conditions and needs of each patient . Therefore HA does not have any prescribed medical professional - to - patient ratio
然而，醫管局已制訂一套機制，就人力資源的需求作評估和規劃，以確保有足夠的醫療人手應付服務需要。
Nevertheless HA has established a mechanism for manpower assessment and planning to ensure that there are sufficient medical staff to meet service demand
醫管局會繼續監察人手情況，並在人手規劃方面作適當安排，以應付日益增加的服務需求。
HA will continue to keep in view the manpower situation and make appropriate arrangements in manpower planning to cope with the growing demand for health care services
二 醫管局會不時檢討及優化"特別退休後重聘計劃"的安排，挽留富經驗的醫療專業人才，以助培訓及知識傳承，並紓緩人手情況。
2 HA reviews and enhances the arrangements for the Special Retired and Rehire Scheme from time to time to retain experienced medical professionals for the purposes of training and knowledge transfer as well as alleviating the manpower shortage
由2020-2021年度開始，重聘的醫療人員的聘用期將會由1年合約，延長多1年，合共兩年，以65歲為限。
Starting from 2020 - 2021 the contract period for rehired medical staff will be extended from one year to two years up to the age of 65
截至2019年10月底，醫管局內共有65名醫生在退休後獲重聘，繼續為醫管局各專科服務。
As at the end of October 2019 a total of 65 doctors have been rehired after retirement to continue their service in various HA specialties
三 自2011-2012年度起至今年11月1日，醫委會共批准54宗非本地培訓醫生以有限度註冊形式在醫管局工作。
3 From 2011 - 2012 to 1 November 2019 MCHK approved 54 limited registration applications for non - locally trained doctors to practise in HA
現時共有20人分別在麻醉科、急症科、心胸肺外科、家庭醫學、內科、神經外科、兒科、放射科及外科等人手短缺的部門工作。
Currently 20 non - locally trained doctors are serving in departments with manpower shortage including anaesthesia accident and emergency cardiothoracic surgery family medicine medicine neurosurgery paediatrics radiology and surgery
另外4名非本地培訓醫生亦將於本年第四季至明年第一季履新。
Four more non - locally trained doctors will assume office between the fourth quarter of this year and the first quarter of next year
所有有限度註冊計劃下的非本地培訓醫生，均是以恆常編制以外的空缺及政府額外資源聘請。
All posts held by non - locally trained doctors employed under the limited registration scheme are supernumerary posts created with additional government resources
隨着《2018年醫生註冊條例》實施後，有限度註冊的有效期和續期有效期已由不多於1年延長至不多於3年。
Following the implementation of the Medical Registration Amendment Ordinance 2018 the validity period and renewal period of limited registration have been extended from not exceeding one year to not exceeding three years
連同已推出的一系列改善措施，經有限度註冊計劃招聘的非本地培訓醫生預期會有所增加。
With this extension and other improvement measures the number of non - locally trained doctors recruited under the limited registration scheme is expected to increase
至於為非本地培訓醫生提供專科培訓方面，現時已有多個醫專轄下的專科學院接納非本地培訓醫生在港繼續其專科培訓，其中包括急症科、內科、家庭醫學、婦產科、眼科、兒科、精神科、社會醫學及病理學科。
As regards the provision of specialist training for non - locally trained doctors a number of colleges under HKAM including accident and emergency medicine family medicine obstetrics and gynaecology ophthalmology paediatrics psychiatry community medicine and pathology have admitted these doctors to continue their specialist training in Hong Kong
醫專及其轄下的相關專科學院現正討論及制訂有關執行細節。
HKAM and its relevant colleges are discussing and working out the implementation details
待確定有關執行細節後，醫管局會相應更新有限度註冊醫生的招聘條件，並向醫委會遞交有關的有限度註冊醫生申請，以作批准。
Upon finalization of the details HA will update the recruitment conditions of limited registration doctors accordingly and submit relevant limited registration applications to MCHK for approval
此外，為使於醫管局任職的非本地培訓醫生能按照所屬專科學院的要求輪調培訓，醫管局亦已取得 醫委會批准，可因應培訓及服務需要分派有限度註冊的非本地培訓醫生到公立醫院的不同部門工作。
Besides to enable the non - locally trained doctors working in HA to undergo trainee rotation as required by the relevant colleges under HKMA HA has obtained approval from MCHK to assign non - locally trained limited registration doctors to work in different departments of public hospitals in accordance with their training needs and service demand
醫管局將繼續透過有限度註冊形式招聘非本地培訓醫生，亦會繼續檢視和監察整體人手情況。
HA will continue to recruit non - locally trained doctors by way of limited registration and will keep reviewing and monitoring the overall manpower situation
我想追問主體質詢第三部分中關於"政府會否向醫管局及醫專增撥資源"的問題。
I wish to follow up part 3 of the main question which is related to whether the Government will allocate additional resources to HA and HKAM
請問政府暫時撤回這3間大學的撥款建議，會否影響香港的醫療人手及培訓工作？
Will the provisional withdrawal of the funding proposals of these three universities affect the health care manpower and training in Hong Kong?
若會，詳情為何；若否請局長小心回答3間大學的撥款是否並非必需，而是沒有需要的？
If so what are the details; if not―Secretary please answer carefully―are the funding proposals for the three universities non - essential and unnecessary?
在此期間，我們一直與3間大學保持緊密聯繫，向他們解釋最新的發展情況，以及了解大學是否有任何新安排，並向議員解說它們的最新安排。
In the meantime we have been maintaining close contact with the three universities to explain to them the latest development and to see if the universities have any new arrangements after which we would explain to Members the universities latest arrangements
我們期望能夠盡快將這3個項目重新加入財委會的議程，務求盡快獲得通過，使3間大學的教學設施工程得以順利展開。
We hope that these three items can be again put on the agenda of FC as soon as possible for approval at the earliest opportunity so as to enable the works projects of the teaching facilities of the three universities to be kick - started smoothly
主席，多謝張宇人議員的補充質詢。
President I thank Mr Tommy CHEUNG for his supplementary question
立法會主席、各位議員、各位市民： 今天我發表任內第五份施政報告，也是本屆香港特別行政區政府5年任期內的最後一份施政報告。
Mr President Honourable Members and fellow citizens Today I present the fifth Policy Address in my term of office which is also the last one of the current - term Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR Governments five - year tenure
儘管如此，我和我的團隊 非常重視這份施政報告；我親自主持了40場線上線下的諮詢會、出席直播、走進校園，接觸了超過3,500名來自不同界別的市民。
Despite this my team and I attach great importance to this Policy Address . I have personally chaired 40 online and offline consultation sessions attended live programmes and visited school campuses meeting with over 3 500 members of the public from different sectors of the community
我在籌備本年度的施政報告時，深感任重道遠。
In preparing for this years Policy Address I deeply felt that I was charged with a heavy responsibility
過去一年多，香港經歷了前所未有的多重打擊：因"修例風波"和其他反抗政權行為而發生的社會動亂、因新冠疫情肆虐而引致的經濟萎縮和失業率上升、因境外勢力干預而出現的危害國家安全行為。
In the past year or so Hong Kong has experienced multiple blows which are unprecedented the social unrest arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance and other anti - government acts; the shrinking economy and rising unemployment rate caused by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 COVID - 19 epidemic; and the acts that endangered national security due to interference by external forces
凡此種種，都嚴重損害特區的社會穩定、窒礙經濟發展、破壞香港的國際形象，社會付出了沉重代價。
All these have seriously undermined the social stability of the HKSAR impeded its economic development and tarnished its international image and for which our society has paid a high price
在這個環境下，市民焦慮不安，甚至對前景失去信心，是完全可以理解的；他們期望特區政府能做得更多、更好，是理所當然的。
Under such circumstances the worries and anxieties of the people and their loss of confidence in the future are entirely understandable . Naturally they will expect the HKSAR Government to do more and to do better
如何令香港早日走出困局、令市民恢復信心，是這份施政報告的首要目的。
As such the primary objective of this Policy Address is to look at ways to get Hong Kong out of the impasse and to restore peoples confidence as soon as possible
近年的"一帶一路"倡議和大灣區建設，更為香港提供無限機遇。當歐美經濟體正陷入深度衰退時，國家在全力遏制及嚴控疫情下，已重拾經濟增長。要為香港經濟重新出發注入動力，我們沒有理由捨近圖遠。
Benefiting from its proximity to the Mainland and the Central Governments long - standing support under the One Country Two Systems principle Hong Kongs economic development will be given new impetus
進一步促進私募基金的發展 為了鞏固香港作為亞洲領先的私募基金樞紐地位，我們會為在本港營運的私募基金所分發的附帶權益，在符合若干條件下，提供稅務 寬免。我們已就建議諮詢業界，並正擬備相關法例，目標是在短期內向立法會提交修訂條例草案。
In addition to the measures rolled out earlier such as tax concessions facilitation of property purchase support for young entrepreneurs cross - boundary remittance of science and technology funding and liberalisation of legal and construction professional services further measures to be introduced shortly include permitting the use of Hong Kong - registered drugs and common medical devices in designated Hong Kong - owned healthcare institutions in the Mainland cities of the GBA relaxing the limitation on exporting Mainland human genetic resources to Hong Kong for research purposes facilitating Hong Kong private cars travelling to Guangdong via the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge HZMB and expediting the implementation of the cross - boundary wealth management connect scheme
支援旅遊業 旅遊業是香港四大支柱行業之一，從業員人數接近26萬。自2019年下半年起，本港旅遊業受到連番打擊，跨境人流幾近停頓，業務近乎冰封。
- On improving the infrastructure of land boundary control points between Hong Kong and Shenzhen the Central Government supports the deepening of co - operation between Hong Kong and Shenzhen the enhancement of the Lok Ma ChauHuanggang control point and the implementation of co - location arrangements at the new Huanggang control point in Shenzhen so as to release over 20 hectares of land at the Hong Kong control point for other uses
投資推廣署將與各政策局、特區政府經貿辦和各推動創科、金融和文化發展的機構合作，採取策略性方法在全球大力宣傳香港為高質素人才提供的便利措施和發展機遇，重點吸納香港在各個範疇所需的人才。青年發展 青年是一個多元的組群，他們有不同的人生目標。
The HKSAR Government will strengthen its communication and interface with relevant Central ministries and the Guangdong Provincial Government and set up task forces to take forward various initiatives
代理主席，過去數年，由於房屋供求緊張及持續超低利率的環境，本港樓價上升，泡沫風險高企。
Deputy President in the past few years due to tight housing demand - supply balance and the continued ultra - low interest rates environment local property prices have been on the rise with heightened risk of a bubble
為應對供求失衡的情況，特區政府一方面致力透過多管齊下措施增加房屋供應；同時，政府亦推出多輪需求管理措施，以減少外來需求、短期炒賣需求和投 資需求。
To address the demand - supply imbalance the Government has been striving to increase housing supply through multi - pronged measures . At the same time the Government has introduced several rounds of demand - side management measures to suppress external demand short - term speculations and investment demand
就葉劉淑儀議員質詢的各部分，在諮詢財經事務及庫務局和稅務局後，現綜合答覆如下： 一 外來需求方面，我們在2012年10月推出買家印花稅。
Having consulted the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau and the Inland Revenue Department IRD I set out my consolidated reply to various parts of the question raised by Mrs Regina IP as follows 1 Regarding external demand the Government introduced the Buyers Stamp Duty BSD in October 2012
除非買家是代表自己行事的香港永久性居民，否則須繳付15%的買家印花稅。
Unless the buyer is a Hong Kong permanent resident HKPR acting on hisher own behalf the residential property transaction concerned is subject to BSD at 15 %
代理主席，毫無疑問，不論是限購，還是開徵新增印花稅，均屬需求管理措施。
Deputy President there is no doubt that purchase restrictions and new stamp duties are both demand - side management measures
開徵新增印花稅有其好處，就是能為庫房帶來龐大收益。
The advantage of introducing new stamp duties is that it can bring in substantial revenue to the public coffers
從局長所述的數字可見，此措施具成效，我能理解政府為何認為無須推出其他需求管理措施。
As evident from the figures cited by the Secretary the measure has been effective . I can thus understand why the Government does not consider it necessary to introduce other demand - side management measures
不過，我想問局長，既然大部分買家屬首次置業，局長有否進行調查，以了解這些買家究竟是"靠父幹"，抑或在其家人沒有違法的情況下"借人頭"？
However given that most of the buyers are first - time buyers may I ask the Secretary whether surveys have been conducted to see if these buyers have hinged on fathers deed or have given their identities to family members for home purchase without breaking the law?
資金來源方面，香港金融管理局最近指出，買家可能是靠父母的積蓄資助、靠父母把物業加按，或利用地產商提供的按揭買樓。
Regarding the source of funding as recently pointed out by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority some buyers may be financed by their parents savings by proceeds obtained from topping up the mortgages of their parents properties or by the mortgage loans provided by developers
在此情況下，樓市泡沫會不斷擴大。
As such the housing bubble keeps growing
局長有否與金融機構進行研究，預早考慮應對措施以防樓市泡沫爆破，避免已經置業的人士承受極大痛苦？
Have the Secretary and financial institutions conducted studies to take precautions against the burst of the housing bubble so as to spare home owners from immense suffering?
該等街市在夏天時頗為悶熱，令顧客卻步，以致租戶經營困難甚至需結業，令相關街市的空置率上升。
Those markets are hot and stuffy during summer which turns away customers . As a result the tenants have difficulties in doing businesses or even have to close down their businesses causing a rise in the vacancy rates of the markets concerned
行政長官在剛發表的《施政報告》中提出，"政府會投放資源提升現有公眾街市的環境，包括加快安裝冷氣"。
In the Policy Address delivered by her recently the Chief Executive indicated that the Government will allocate resources to improve the environment of existing public markets
代理主席，行政長官已在其10月發表的2017年施政報告提出，會全面檢視現有的公眾街市，有系統地制訂具體措施改善設施和投放資源提升現有公眾街市的環境，包括加快安裝冷氣。
Deputy President in the 2017 Policy Address delivered in October the Chief Executive stated that the Government would conduct a comprehensive review of existing public markets formulate specific improvement measures for the facilities in a systematic manner and allocate resources to improve the environment of existing public markets including expediting the retrofitting of air - conditioning systems
為推展上述的工作，政府將成立一支專責隊伍。
The Government will form a dedicated team to take forward the above work
就邵家輝議員各部分的質詢，我答覆如下： 一 公眾街市的租用情況受到很多不同因素影響，例如附近售賣同類貨品的零售點的競爭、區內人口變化等。
My reply to the various parts of the question raised by Mr SHIU Ka - fai is as follows 1 The occupancy of public markets is influenced by many factors such as competition from retail outlets selling similar commodities in the vicinity and demographic changes in the district
截至今年9月30日，在99個公眾街市中，扣除因將進行整合或改善工程而未有出租的空置攤檔，已經和尚未裝設空調系統的街市的空置率同為約2%。
As at 30 September 2017 among the 99 public markets excluding the stalls which are vacant due to upcoming consolidation or improvement works the vacancy rates of markets with and without air - conditioning systems are both about 2 %
食物環境衞生署一直致力改善公眾街市的環境，以吸引人流及改善攤檔的經營條件。
The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department FEHD has been seeking to improve the environment of public markets in order to attract patronage and improve the operating conditions of stalls
食環署亦恆常舉辦推廣活動，以吸引人流和加快出租檔位。
FEHD also conducts promotional activities regularly to attract patronage and with a view to promoting the letting of market stalls
二 政府一直都有為公眾街市進行改善工程，從而改善營運環境。
2 The Government has been implementing various improvement works in public markets to improve the operating environment
食環署除進行街市的例行保養外，還會在今個財政年度起，於8個公眾街市進行改善工程。
In addition to regular maintenance and daily management of markets FEHD will carry out improvement works in eight public markets in this financial year
視乎情況，改善工程包括安裝載貨升降機、改善通風、電力系統和消防設備，以及翻新外牆和廁所等。
The scope of works may include installation of goods lift improvement of ventilation electricity and fire services installations and refurbishment of external walls and toilets etc
同時，食環署正跟進先前顧問所建議於6個公眾街市的改善工程。
Besides FEHD has been following up on the improvement works for the six public markets previously recommended by a consultant
當中，駱克道街市的改善工程已於本年第二季展開，並預計於2019年第四季完 成。
The improvement works for Lockhart Road Market commenced in the second quarter of 2017 for completion in the fourth quarter of 2019
雙鳳街街市的改善工程則預計於明年第二季開展，明年第四季完成。
The improvement works for Sheung Fung Street Market are expected to commence in the second quarter of 2018 for completion in the fourth quarter of the same year
上述各項工程的預計費用超過6,000萬元。
The estimated cost of all these works exceeds 60 million
此外，我們計劃分階段更換老化的扶手電梯和升降機。
In addition we have plans to replace in phases the aged escalators and lifts
英國保守黨一名曾公開評論香港人權問題的成員早前計劃訪港。
Earlier on a member of the Conservative Party of the United Kingdom UK who had made open comments on Hong Kongs human right issues planned a visit to Hong Kong
據報，有中國駐英國大使館人員就訪港一事曾向他發出警告，而他已向有關人士保證，是次訪港屬私人性質而他將不會在港期間作公開發言。
It was reported that some personnel from the Chinese embassy in UK had warned him against his visit to Hong Kong and he assured such personnel that his visit to Hong Kong would be of a private nature and that he would not make any public speech during his stay in Hong Kong
然而，該人於上月11日抵港後仍被拒入境。
However that person was still refused entry upon his arrival in Hong Kong on the 11 of last month
英國外交大臣對拒絕該人入境一事表示關注，並指出香港的高度自治、自由及權利對保障香港的生活方式極為重要及應獲得尊重。
The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of UK has expressed concern over the refusal of that persons entry and pointed out that Hong Kongs high degree of autonomy and its freedoms and rights are central to safeguarding Hong Kongs way of life and should be respected
政府至今未有就拒絕該名外國公民入境一事作詳細交代。
So far the Government has not given a detailed account on its refusal of entry of that foreign national
在案發翌日，中國外交部發言人華春瑩回應BenedictROGERS被拒入境事件時對記者說："你說的這個人赴港是否有意干預特區內部事務、干預香港司法獨立，他自己非常清楚。
On the day following the incident HUA Chunying a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China MFA responded to a reporters inquiry about the refusal of entry of Benedict ROGERS and said As to whether the person you mentioned arrived in Hong Kong with the intention to interfere in the internal affairs and judicial independence of HKSAR he knows that well enough himself
"華春瑩更表示這是中國內政......
HUA Chunying further said that this is an internal affair of China
我想問局長，既定程序是否包括入境處收到外交部的指令，甚至由外交部繞過特首和保安局局長局長，你可以告訴大家你事前是否知悉此事直接向入境處下旨，須拒絕中國政府認為來港目的有可疑的人士入境？
May I ask the Secretary whether the prevailing procedures include ImmD receiving directions from MFA or even MFA bypassing the Chief Executive and the Secretary for Security―Secretary you can tell Members whether you knew this before the incident―and directly ordering ImmD to refuse entry of any person who in the Chinese Governments view has a doubtful purpose of visit?
局長在主體答覆第三段提及的"既定政策及程序"，是否包括由中國外交部向特區政府下達指令，甚至繞過特首和局長向入境處下達指令？
Do the prevailing policies and procedures mentioned by the Secretary in the third paragraph of the main reply include MFA giving directions to the HKSAR Government or even bypassing the Chief Executive and the Secretary to give directions to ImmD?
我相信我們的入境政策是對事不對人，亦不會打壓任何國家或個人。
I believe our immigration policy is concerned with facts without targeting any particular person and does not seek to oppress any country or individual
我們的入境政策應為來港營商及旅遊的人士提供便利，但也不能太過寬鬆，因為正如大家早前所見，有些人免簽證入境香港後，聲稱在所屬國家遭受虐待而提出免遣返聲請，因而導致出現"假難民"問題。
While our immigration policy should bring convenience to people visiting Hong Kong for business or pleasure it cannot be too lax . I am saying this because as we saw earlier after some people entered Hong Kong visa - free they claimed that they had been maltreated in their countries and so lodged non - refoulement claims thus resulting in the problem of bogus refugees
鑒於香港是一個自由開放的城市，政府可否告知我們，為預防恐怖分子對香港發動襲擊而採取的行動為何？
Given that Hong Kong is a free and open city can the Government inform us of the precautions taken to protect Hong Kong against terrorist attacks?
由政府制訂並適用於外傭的《標準僱傭合約》訂明，當外傭"生病或受傷，無論是否因受僱而引致，僱主須提供免費醫療，包括診症、住院費用及牙科急診"。有外傭僱主團體指出，外傭在非工作日可自由外出進行其喜歡的活動。僱主無權阻止外傭在惡劣天氣下外出，亦無權干預外傭進行高危活動。
The Standard Employment Contract SEC applicable to foreign domestic helpers FDHs which was drawn up by the Government provides that in the event that an FDH is ill or suffers personal injury [regardless of whether this arises out of employment] the Employer shall provide free medical treatment to the [h]elper
勞工處沒有備存個別僱主為外傭投購保險的詳細承保範圍，更沒有僱主投購的保險產品是否包含與工作無關的承保範圍等資料。標準僱傭合約第9a項的規定，是體現僱主在僱用外傭來港為其住所提供家務服務期間，外傭不會因未能負擔醫療費用而未能接受治療或延誤治療疾病或傷患。即使外傭需要使用公共醫療服務，僱主亦必須承擔有關費用而不應依賴公帑填補。
President Clause 9a of the Standard Employment Contract SEC for foreign domestic helpers FDHs requires that in the event that an FDH is ill or suffers from personal injury during the period of employment irrespective of whether it is attributable to work the employer shall provide free medical treatment to FDH
實際上，保險市場現正提供多種為外傭而設的綜合保險產品，除了提供基本的勞保外，也提供額外的保障，包括住院及手術、門診、牙科等醫療開支。
Free medical treatment includes medical consultation maintenance in hospital and emergency dental treatment
代理主席，自2012年政府開徵多項印花稅及實施收緊按揭的措施後，住宅物業的交易宗數由2012年的91000多宗，下降至2016年的62000多宗，跌幅為24%。
Deputy President after the Governments introduction of various stamp duties and measures to tighten mortgage loans since 2012 the number of residential property transactions fell from over 91 000 in 2012 to some 62 000 in 2016 representing a decrease of 24 %
但是，同期的住宅按揭未償還貸款餘額由8,683億元，上升至11,187億元，升幅為28%。
However the amount of outstanding residential mortgage loans in the same period increased by 28 % from 868.3 billion to 1,118.7 billion
因此，從當局提供的附件可見，在2016年，無論是一手或二手住宅物業交易，外地個人買家的比例均有回升跡象。
Therefore from the annex provided by the Administration we can see that the respective proportions of non - local individual buyers in primary and secondary residential property transactions in 2016 have showed signs of bouncing back
針對這個趨勢，政府會否制訂指標，每當此比例升至某一水平，便再次出招管理外地買家的需求？
Given this trend will the Government set a threshold to take measures to suppress the demand of non - local buyers when the proportion of non - local individual buyers exceeds a certain level?
正因如此，無論是外地公司或本地公司，凡購買住宅物業均須繳付印花稅。
That is why both non - local and local companies are subject to the payment of extra stamp duties in residential property transactions
此外，對於外地個人買家，因為他們購買住宅並非"本地人本地用"，所以政府也要求他們繳付印花稅。
In addition non - local individual buyers are also required to pay extra stamp duties as they do not buy residential properties for occupation as in the case of local people
