這65個準夥伴包括以下3類： a 在2016年年底向經合組織表示有意與香港訂定自動交換資料安排的稅務管轄區； b 香港稅務協定夥伴當中已承諾實施自動交換資料安排的稅務管轄區；及 c 歐盟所有成員國。
The 65 prospective partners fall under the following three categories a jurisdictions which expressed an interest to OECD in late 2016 in conducting AEOI with Hong Kong; b Hong Kongs tax treaty partners which have committed to AEOI; and c all Member States of EU
《條例草案》如獲通過，所有財務機構由本年7月1日起，便有責任識辨該74個稅務管轄區的稅務居民所持有的帳戶，並就該等帳戶收集資料，由2018年起把所得資料交給稅務局。
Subject to the Bill being passed all financial institutes are obliged to identify and collect information on accounts of tax residents in these 74 jurisdictions from 1 July this year onwards and from 2018 onwards the information collected will be submitted to the Inland Revenue Department IRD
就擬議名單上的65個準夥伴而言，有關申報稅務管轄區仍須與香港另行訂定及啟動交換稅務資料的安排，香港才會與該申報稅務管轄區交換資料。
Regarding the 65 prospective jurisdictions on the proposed list the jurisdictions concerned still have to formulate and kick off the arrangement for exchanging information in taxation matters with Hong Kong separately before Hong Kong will exchange information with the jurisdictions
所有自動交換資料夥伴均須符合關於保障私隱、資料保密及正當使用所交換資料等規定。
All AEOI partners must comply with the requirements on privacy protection confidentiality of information and proper use of information exchanged and so on
我亦希望強調，對一般香港市民而言，如果他不是香港以外任何地區的稅務居民，香港的財務機構不會在這計劃下將他們的資料向稅務局申報，而轉交至香港以外的稅務機關。
I would like to stress that for the general public in Hong Kong if they are not tax residents of any region outside Hong Kong the financial institutes of Hong Kong will not submit their information to IRD for transfer to tax institutes outside Hong Kong under the scheme
主席，為使香港更有效落實自動交換資料的安排，減低香港被列為"不合作稅務管轄區"的風險，香港必須由本年7月1日起擴大香港的"申報稅務管轄區"名單。
President to enable Hong Kong to implement the AEOI arrangement more effectively and lower Hong Kongs risk of being listed as a non - cooperative tax jurisdiction Hong Kong must expand its list of reportable jurisdictions from 1 July onwards
由於時間緊迫，我懇請各位議員支持及盡早通過《條例草案》，當局亦會全力配合立法會的審議工作。
In view of the tight schedule I implore Honourable Members to support and pass the Bill expeditiously whereas the authorities will give full support to the Legislative Council in the scrutiny of the Bill
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：《2017年稅務條例草案》，予以二讀。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the Inland Revenue Amendment No . 3 Bill 2017 be read the Second time
代理主席，原本我沒有打算發言，但剛才聽到同事對於市民的狀況好像不太認識，我一定要透過這次發言跟大家說一說。
Deputy President I did not intend to speak originally but it seems that Honourable colleagues are not at all versed in the condition of the public so I must make a speech to tell everyone about it
我們工會一定要站在基層勞工的立場，為他們謀取基本福利。
We the trade unions must stand on the side of grass - roots workers and fight for their benefits
只不過是希望半斤八兩，可以為生，一個最基本的公義情況。
It is just the hope for half a catty meaning eight taels that people can make a living which is the most fundamental justice
剛才有些同事說漣漪效應很大，令到他們苦不堪言。
Some Honourable colleagues said just now that the ripple effect is significant and that they are suffering from it
主席，如果大家有留意以往的報道，便知道我們並不想漣漪效應這麼大，不是非要訂立最低工資不可。
President if Members have noted pervious reports they will know that we did not wish to see such a significant ripple effect and we did not demand nothing but minimum wage
反之，最低工資訂立後，我們看不到大規模裁員。
On the contrary we did not see any large - scale layoffs after the introduction of minimum wage
當然，租金增加一倍以上也非佔他們成本的最大部分，但是這個加幅為他們加添不少壓力。
Of course rent does not account for the largest share of their costs even after it has doubled but this increase did add a lot of pressure on them
第二，食材對於市民的影響十分大，之前如果大家有留意，一些基本食材，例如糖，數年前只是數十元一斤一大袋，但現在已經過百元，大家有沒有留意這個加幅最終是由市民負擔。
Second the price of foodstuff has a great impact on the public . The price of some basic foodstuff such as sugar has increased from several tens of dollars to over a hundred dollars a catty . The price increase will ultimately be borne by the public
工聯會曾進行一個兩餸一湯的調查，我們煮一些基本餸菜，一碟菜心炒牛肉、梅菜蒸鯇魚及薯仔蕃茄湯，這種日常餸菜。
The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions once conducted a survey on the price of two dishes and one soup . We made some basic home - cooking dishes a stir - fried vegetable with beef a steamed fish with preserved cabbage and a potato and tomato soup
現在對於提供食物給基層店鋪或市民，政府沒有提供協助，任由自由市場壓榨市民。
The Government currently does not offer any assistance in respect of food provision to grass - roots shops or people but instead simply lets the free market exploit the people
外國經濟學家Adam SMITH提出，要用隱形之手去調控市場。
Foreign economist Adam SMITH proposed using the invisible hand to regulate the market
但是，香港這個市場很奇怪，這隻隱形之手只會壓榨市民、壓榨員工。
However the Hong Kong market is a strange one where the invisible hand will only exploit the people and the employees
問題是工作量增加了很多，現在的工作量是以往的一又三分之一、一又三分之二，才能保住職位。
But their workload has increased enormously . To retain ones job ones workload has increased by one third or two thirds compared to that in the past
我們要有獅子山精神，但不可以透過壓榨員工、不向市民及員工提供最基本的保障而得來。
We should have the Lion Rock Spirit but it should be achieved not through exploitation of employees and non - provision of basic protection to the people and the employees
現在市面上如何壓榨工人呢？
How are employees exploited?
一些洗碗工人以前有定額薪金，現在洗碗工人工資2萬多元，市民可能會覺得最低工資導致洗碗都有2萬多元工資。
Before some dishwashers used to receive a fixed salary . Now their salary is some 20,000 which the public may think is a result of the minimum wage
因此，我們希望提倡獅子山精神的同時，也要為市民提供最基本的保障，而最低工資正正就是這個保障，提升市民的基本保障。
Therefore while advocating the Lion Rock Spirit we hope basic protection is provided to the people and the minimum wage is precisely that safeguard that can enhance the basic protection of the people
每年通脹物價都增加，但是礙於兩年一檢，隔年才可以調升最低工資，令基層市民的薪金無法追上通脹，這正是為何我們提出一年一檢。
Prices increase with inflation annually but due to the biennial review the minimum wage can be adjusted only the next year so the salary of grass roots can never catch up with inflation . This is exactly why we propose that the review be conducted once every year
我現在請勞工及福利局局長發言。
I now call upon the Secretary for Labour and Welfare to speak
主席，關於九龍東醫療服務的背景，剛才柯議員已經提及，我不再在此贅述，唯獨就九龍東醫院聯網所獲得的醫療資源分配的問題，我希望談一談。
President the background of the healthcare services in Kowloon East was already mentioned by Mr OR just now . I am not going to dwell on it any further except for the problem of the allocation of healthcare resources for the Kowloon East Cluster KEC which I wish to talk about here
眾所周知，香港醫院管理局在醫療聯網的資源分配上，有自己的一套機制，但在過去一段時間，社會上很多人，包括過去或現時在公營醫療系統內服務的醫生均指出，醫療聯網的資源分配不均。
As we all know the Hong Kong Hospital Authority HA has its own mechanism for distribution of resources among the hospital clusters . However over the past period many people in the community including doctors who served in the public healthcare system in the past or who are doing so now have pointed out the uneven distribution of resources among the hospital clusters
根據政府當局提供的人口推算數字，2016年九龍東聯網的人口高達112萬，在7個醫院聯網中排行第四，而在長者人口方面，共有17萬名長者居於九龍東聯網的服務範圍內，在7個聯網中排行第三。
According to the population projections provided by the Administration in 2016 the population in KEC reached 1.12 million ranking the fourth among the seven hospital clusters . Regarding the elderly population 170 000 elderly people in total lived in the service area of KEC ranking the third among the seven clusters
整體人口及長者人口數目與聯網所獲分配的資源不成正比，自然會造成服務的落差，因為一個聯網獲得多少撥款，某程度上會影響該聯網內的醫護人手供應。
If the resources allocated to the clusters are disproportionate to the overall population and the elderly population it is only natural that a gap will arise in the provision of services because to a certain extent the amount of funding received by a cluster will affect the supply of healthcare manpower in that cluster
護士和其他專職醫療人員的比例亦出現同樣的情況，在九龍東聯網內，上述3類醫護專業人員的比例的確是全港最低，確實拖了全港的後腿。
There are similar situations in the ratios of nurses and other allied health staff . In KEC the ratios of the three types of healthcare professionals mentioned just now were in fact the lowest in Hong Kong thus really dragging down the whole territory
資源不足引致的人手問題，同時對區內不少醫療服務的質量造成影響。
The manpower problem caused by insufficient resources has at the same time affected the quality of quite many healthcare services in the region
即使醫生工作得多辛苦，質素有多高，但他們只有一雙手，人手問題自然引申到原議案提及的一連串專科門診輪候時間的問題。
No matter how hard the doctors work and how high the quality of their work is each of them has only two hands . The manpower problem has certainly led to the series of problems related to the waiting time for specialist outpatient services
當中我特別想指出，九龍東的全關節置換手術的輪候時間長期居高不下。
Among them I especially wish to point out that the waiting time for total joint replacement surgery in Kowloon East has remained high for a long period
根據醫管局的數字，九龍東聯網的全關節置換手術的輪候時間是74個月，即超過6年，這數字遠高於醫管局整體聯網的數字，即53個月。
According to the figures of HA the waiting time for total joint replacement surgery in KEC is 74 months exceeding six years . This figure is far higher than the average of all the clusters in HA which is 53 months
如果情況較差，要留院兩個星期，只須支付1,400元；若情況較好，只須留院1個星期，則僅須支付700元。
If his condition is poor and he needs hospitalization for two weeks he will have to pay only 1,400 . If his condition is fine and he needs hospitalization for just a week he will have to pay only 700
金額相差這麼大，市民必定會留在公營醫院接受服 務。
Given such an enormous difference in the amount members of the public will certainly stay in a public hospital to receive the service
我們認為這正正反映資源分配不均的問題，除了影響前線醫療服務外，亦影響了長者所需的醫療服務的質素。
In our view this precisely reflects the problem of uneven distribution of resources . Apart from impacting the frontline healthcare services it has also affected the quality of the healthcare services needed by the elderly
此外，我亦建議當局應盡快在九龍東聯網內選址設立關節置換中心，縮短區內關節置換手術的輪候時間，讓九龍東的市民，特別是那些經常要上山下山的長者，可以盡快處理退化性關節炎等勞損病症，減少他們所受的煎熬。
Moreover I have proposed that the authorities expeditiously identify a site in KEC for setting up a Joint Replacement Centre to shorten the waiting time for joint replacement surgery in the region so that the people in Kowloon East especially the elderly people who often need to trudge up and down the hills can have their strain disorders such as degenerative joint disease treated as soon as possible thus reducing their suffering
關於人口老化的問題，我想指出，當局有必要正視基層醫療的重要性，盡快做好長遠的基層醫療規劃工作，在社區設立更多基層醫療設施，分擔前線公營醫院的服務壓力。
Regarding population ageing I would like to point out that it is essential for the authorities to acknowledge the importance of primary healthcare expeditiously conduct proper long - term primary healthcare planning and set up more primary healthcare facilities in the community to share the pressure on the services of public hospitals in the front line
九龍東是多山少平地的地方，沒有足夠地方興建大型全科醫院。
Kowloon East is a place with more hills than flat land . There is not sufficient space for the construction of a large general hospital
我建議政府增設社區健康中心或流動醫療車，為區內街坊提供一站式基層醫療服務；更重要的是，除了可以為醫療服務作出分流外，這些基層醫療設施亦能在社區內接觸更多潛在醫療服務使用者，透過健康教育和檢查，促進市民健康，從源頭減少病人數目。
I suggest that the Government put in place additional community health centres or mobile clinics to provide the local residents with one - stop primary healthcare services . More importantly apart from doing triage for healthcare services these primary healthcare facilities can also get into contact with more potential users of healthcare services in the community and promote public health through health education and check - ups thereby reducing the number of patients at source
我相信很多同事亦曾向高局長提及，規劃是十分重要的，尤其是我們希望在油塘設置的醫療中心，現在尚待符合有關人口的關卡，便可以興建。
I believe many Honourable colleagues have also mentioned to Secretary Dr KO that planning is very important . In particular the healthcare centre which we wish to be set up in Yau Tong is yet to be constructed now pending the population requirement to be met
我希望有關規劃能預視這項目，及早覓地，盡快興建。
I hope the relevant planning can envisage this project and identify a site in a timely manner for its expeditious construction
最後，我想就原議案提及的一些醫院重建和擴建計劃表示支持，但我必須在此對啟德醫院的興建進度表達強烈關注。
In closing I wish to express my support for the redevelopment and expansion projects of some hospitals mentioned in the original motion but here I must express my strong concern for the progress of construction of the Kai Tak Hospital
我們過去一直期望啟德醫院落成後，可以處理區內服務滯後的問題，但自政府為興建啟德醫院所作的策略性研究開展後，其落成時間一拖再拖，由當初所說的2020年前後，變為2024年前後。
All along we have expected the Kai Tak Hospital to deal with the lag in the provision of services in the region upon its completion . However since the Governments strategic study on the construction of the Kai Tak Hospital commenced its completion time has been repeatedly postponed being revised from around 2020 as originally stated to around 2024
我擔心的是，在現時的計劃下，啟德醫院要到2024年才可落成，其間 有六七年時間，香港兒童醫院會因為沒有足夠支援而只能提供有限度的服務，變成得物無所用；同時，九龍東的整體醫療服務壓力亦無法有效紓緩。
My worry is that under the present plan the Kai Tak Hospital will not be completed until 2024 presenting a time gap of six or seven years during which the Hong Kong Childrens Hospital without sufficient support will only be able to provide limited services and thus rendered useless . At the same time it will also be unable to effectively relieve the pressure on healthcare services in Kowloon East overall
因此，我們希望政府當局可以採取更積極的態度，確保啟德醫院可以如期落成，並同時盡快為九龍東各區的基層醫療服務作出完整規劃，避免區內的醫療服務一直落後於實際需求，錯過為應付人口老化作出準備的最後機會。
Hence we hope the Administration can adopt a more proactive attitude to ensure that the Kai Tak Hospital can be completed on schedule and at the same time expeditiously conduct thorough planning for primary healthcare services in various districts in Kowloon East to prevent the healthcare services from persistently lagging behind the actual demands in the districts and avoid missing the final opportunity of preparing for population ageing
主席，我動議修正柯創盛議員的議案。
President I move that Mr Wilson ORs motion be amended
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：何啟明議員就柯創盛議員議案動議的修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the amendment moved by Mr HO Kai - ming to Mr Wilson ORs motion be passed
議員已獲通知，由於何啟明議員的修正案獲得通過，陳沛然議員已撤回他的修正案。
Members have already been informed as Mr HO Kai - mings amendment has been passed Dr Pierre CHAN has withdrawn his amendment
代理主席，柯創盛議員今天提出要求改善九龍東醫療服務的議案，民主黨是絕對支持的，我們亦支持其他相關的修正案。
Deputy President today Mr Wilson OR has proposed a motion urging for the urgent improvement of public healthcare services in Kowloon East . The Democratic Party fully supports this motion as well as other relevant amendments
代理主席，有關香港公共醫療服務的問題，絕對不是九龍東一個區所面對的問題，作為北區區議員，我認為北區醫院的服務亦存在很 大問題。
Deputy President Kowloon East is not the only district in Hong Kong facing public healthcare service problems . As a District Council Member of the North District I think there are many problems with the services of the North District Hospital too
醫院管理局的人員曾向我們反映，香港醫生嚴重短缺，尤其是在北區這些地方。
I have been told by staff of the Hospital Authority HA that there is an acute shortage of doctors in Hong Kong particularly in areas like North District
縱使很多醫生願意"捱義氣"加班，前往不同的醫院幫忙，例如是九龍東聯網的醫院，但是北區這麼偏遠的地區，他們很多時也選擇不去，結果整個北區醫院均缺乏醫生。
Though many doctors are willing to work overtime to help out at different hospitals like hospitals in the Kowloon East Cluster KEC they usually do not choose to work in remote districts like the North District . As a result there is a general shortage of doctors in hospitals in the North District
我相信這不單是北區或其他區分面對的問題，九龍東的聯網也可能面對類似的問題。
I believe not only the North District and other districts encounter this problem KEC may also encounter a similar problem
回歸前，在英聯邦地區取得相關執業資格的醫生，比較容易回港執業，但回歸後，難度大增。
Before the reunification it was easier for doctors who had obtained the qualification for practice in Commonwealth regions to return to Hong Kong for practice . Yet after the reunification it has become much more difficult
我們看看有關數字，通過考試和實習合格的人數，在回歸前，平均每年有49個牌照，但回歸後，每年只有9.7個牌照。
We may look at the relevant figures . Before the reunification 49 licences on average were issued each year to doctors passing the examination and internship training . Yet after the reunification only 9.7 licences are issued each year
這些執業考試受到很多海外或香港境外醫科學生詬病，認為考試的內容太難。
These licensing examinations are criticized by many medical students overseas and outside Hong Kong for being too difficult
他們曾經給我一個例子，就是考試竟然要考香港的職安健法例，但他們在海外讀醫並不會讀到這些法例，這實在令他們面對很大的困難。
They have told me one example to illustrate their point . The examination covers questions related to legislation on occupational health and safety in Hong Kong . Since they studied medicine overseas they had not studied these laws and this posts a tall challenge to them
此外，有些醫科學生向我投訴，香港這些執業試的考試時間只會在考試前兩三天才通知他們，他們要在英國即時乘的士到機場購買機票返港，回港後連時差還未適應便立即要應付壓力如此沉重的專業考試。
Moreover some medical students have complained to me about the arrangement of these licensing examinations in Hong Kong . Since they are given an advance notice of only two or three days prior to the examination they have to take a taxi to the airport in the United Kingdom to get a ticket to return to Hong Kong . Upon arrival they have to sit for these professional examinations immediately under tremendous pressure even before they have adjusted to the jet lag
有很多港人在海外的子女，尤其是在英聯邦國家的，在取得當地的專業執業資格後，為甚麼不可以比較容易回港執業，以增加香港的醫生供應，從而令九龍東聯網，以至全香港各聯網的醫生供應量增加呢？
Many children of the people of Hong Kong who are studying overseas particularly in Commonwealth countries have obtained the qualification for local practice why can the authorities not make their practice in Hong Kong easier so as to increase the supply of doctors in Hong Kong as a whole thereby increasing the supply of doctors in KEC and other clusters in the territory?
正如剛才多位同事所說，很多醫療服務現在的輪候時間也越來越長，尤其是專科服務，往往要輪候一兩年。
As many Honourable colleagues have said earlier the waiting time for various healthcare services particularly specialist services is becoming increasingly long which often takes a year or two
我女兒早前因為意外，在學校撞破額頭要到急症室輪候，我陪她一起等，等了3小時又3小時，越輪越長，因為越來越多急症送到醫院，最後我放棄輪候。
Some time ago my daughter had a cut in her forehead after a bump at school and had to seek treatment at the AE department so I accompanied her in the wait for treatment . We had waited for three hours and then another three hours yet the queue only grew longer as more and more emergency cases were sent to the hospital . In the end I gave up waiting
可惜，我不是"譚Sir"，不能排"快隊"。
Regrettably I am not Sir TAM and I do not have express access
不過，香港很多市民經常要這樣排隊輪候，排完又排。
However many people in Hong Kong are always waiting in such a manner one after another
急症室輪候的時間可能是半天或一天，甚或長過一天，而專科服務的輪候時間則是數以月計、數以年計，令市民的健康不斷惡化，小病變大病，大病變無法治癒，這情況極不理想。
The waiting time at AE departments may be half or one day sometimes more than one day . As for specialist services the waiting time counts months or years . During the wait the condition of patients deteriorates where minor diseases turn serious and serious diseases become incurable
因此，我在這裏呼籲 政府和醫學界再想想，香港的執業試是否有需要檢討，考試的標準是否太過嚴苛，以及有關安排是否利便海外考生。
This is extremely undesirable . Hence here I urge the Government and the medical sector to reconsider whether a review of the licensing examination in Hong Kong is necessary whether the examination standard is too harsh and whether the examination arrangement is convenient to overseas candidates
我明白醫生質素絕對不能妥協，這點我完全同意，但也應有一個合理的範圍。
I understand that there should be no compromise in the quality of doctors . I totally agree with this . Yet this should be within a reasonable scope
醫學界有一種說法，有些醫生叫"月球人"，有些叫"星球人"，即他一個月可以賺100萬元，有些甚至是一個星期賺100萬元，我不知道為甚麼可以賺這麼多錢，可能他們醫術相當精湛，是再世華陀。
There is a description in the medical sector . Some doctors are dubbed men from the moon 月球人 which refers to doctors making a million dollars in a month or men from outer space 星球人 which refers to doctors making a million dollars in a week . I do not know why they can earn such an enormous amount of money probably because their medical skills are exquisite like the lengendary Chinese doctor Huatuo
如果是因為醫術精湛而賺到這麼多錢，這並無問題，因香港是一個自由經濟社會。
If they earn great sums because of their exquisite medical skills it is not a problem for Hong Kong is a free economy
可是，如果醫學界有人透過保護主意，控制市場上醫生的供應，令醫生數目不足以應付市場龐大的需要，致令他們的收入增加，這便是損害香港的公共利益。
However if certain members of the medical sector are practising protectionism to try to control the supply of doctors in the market and create a shortage of doctors against the tremendous demand in the market such that the income of doctors may increase this will jeopardize public interest in Hong Kong
代理主席，現在說的是香港公共醫療服務，在全港醫療市場中，公共醫療服務佔相當大的比重。
Deputy President we are now talking about public healthcare services . In the healthcare market in the territory public healthcare services account for a relatively significant share
因此，我希望醫管局、政府和醫學界也可聆聽小市民的心聲，聆聽在海外讀醫數年取得當地專業資格的年青人的心聲，容許他們更容易回港執業。
Hence I hope HA the Government and the medical sector will heed the opinions of the general public as well as the aspiration of young people who have studied medicine overseas for several years and obtained qualification for local practice and make their practice in Hong Kong easier
代理主席，今年年初，九龍醫院和聯合醫院先後遭揭發曾發生病人在精神科病房留醫期間遭受性侵犯的事件，為香港精神科醫療服務敲響警鐘。
Deputy President early this year an alarm was sounded for the psychiatric healthcare services in Hong Kong after incidents involving sexual abuses of patients in psychiatric wards were uncovered one after another in the Kowloon Hospital and the United Christian Hospital
早前，我曾到大埔醫院視察。
Sometime ago I went on an inspection visit of the Tai Po Hospital a psychiatric hospital for acute cases equipped with essential ward facilities
我翻查人口數據，發現自2003年起，大埔醫院基本上沒有增加任何病床，但2003年至今天的人口增長卻十分厲害。
I have looked up the population data and found that the Tai Po Hospital has seen no increase at all in the number of beds since 2003 despite the monumental increase in population since then
2003年，新界東人口是154萬，而今時今日的新界東人口則有180多萬，人口增長30多萬，但整個新界東的精神科病床卻沒有增加，問題可想而知有多嚴重。
Today New Territories East has a population of more than 1.8 million compared to 1.54 million in 2003 but there has been no increase in the number of psychiatric beds in New Territories East as a whole . The gravity of the problem is thus imaginable
推動精神健康政策聯席曾就公營精神科醫療服務滿意程度進行調查，發現受訪者對精神科病房衞生情況的不滿程度，遠高於其他病房。
A survey conducted by the Alliance for Advocating Mental Health Policy on the degree of satisfaction with psychiatric healthcare services provided in the public sector has found that the dissatisfaction of the interviewees with the hygiene condition of psychiatric wards is far greater when compared to other wards
受訪的精神科病人自覺不被尊重，我相信這與醫護人手嚴重不足有關。
Moreover the interviewed psychiatric patients felt that they were not respected . I believe this has something to do with the acute shortage of healthcare manpower
根據世界衞生組織的標準，每1萬人應有1名精神科醫生，但以香港700多萬人口計算，我們應該有700多位精神科醫生。
According to the standard of the World Health Organization there should be one psychiatric doctor to every 10 000 persons . If a calculation is based on the 7 million - odd population in Hong Kong we should have more than 700 psychiatric doctors
然而，在2014年，醫院管理局的精神科醫生只有338名，精神科護 士亦只有2,400多人。
However in 2014 HA had 338 psychiatric doctors and 2 400 or so psychiatric nurses only
大部分聯網的新症輪候時間為3個多星期，但九龍東的半緊急新症輪候時間則為5個星期，穩定的新症更要輪候96個星期，即接近兩年。
While the waiting time for new case booking in most clusters is three weeks or so the waiting time for semi - urgent case booking in the Kowloon East Cluster is five weeks . What is more the waiting time for stable new case booking is 96 weeks or nearly two years
2014年2月，曾有一名抑鬱症患者因漫長的輪候時間而得不到適當治療，在輪候期間跳樓身亡。
In February 2014 a patient suffering from depression died after jumping off a building due to the failure to receive proper treatment after waiting for a long period
這反映精神科病人未能得到適切治療的嚴重性。
This reflects the gravity of the failure of psychiatric patients to receive appropriate and relevant treatment
社區復康資源也嚴重不足，雖然政府在過去推行社區復康概念，鼓勵精神病人善用社區資源，融入社區生活。
Community rehabilitation resources are also seriously inadequate despite the efforts previously made by the Government to promote the community rehabilitation concept to encourage psychiatric patients to make good use of community resources and integrate into the community
醫管局亦推出個案復康支援計劃，安排社區個案經理負責跟進社區內的精神科病人。
HA has also launched a Personalised Care Programme under which case managers will be arranged to follow up psychiatric patients in the communities
現時的服務標準是1：50，但若按照外國標準，應該是1：20。
Since the service standard which is currently set at 1col50 should be set at 1 20 according to the overseas standard the existing ratio of 1col50 is lower than the international standard
所以，我們建議政府增聘精神科醫生，縮短輪候時間，同時加強護士培訓，尤其是精神科專科護士的培訓，積極推廣個案經理的服務，提供更多資源。
Hence we propose that the Government should recruit additional psychiatric doctors and shorten the waiting time while strengthening the training of nurses particularly psychiatric nurses actively promoting the services provided by case managers and providing more resources
