主席，這個問題非常複雜，我剛才只是將一些建議拋磚引玉，希望大家明白，如果香港不是一個國家可以信賴的香港，反而香港因為實施"一國兩制"，成為擁有最多反中、或是反一國思潮甚至行動的地方，這樣將會嚴重窒礙香港長遠發展，嚴重阻礙香港民主之路。
President this is an intricate question . I am merely making certain suggestions to invite further viewpoints . If Hong Kong fails to win the trust of the nation but instead becomes a city accommodating most anti - China or anti - one country ideas and even corresponding actions as a result of the implementation of one country two systems I hope Members can understand that this will heavily impede Hong Kongs development in the long run and seriously hinder our path to democracy
代理主席，國家主席習近平於今年7月1日前來香港，出席香港回歸20周年大會暨香港特別行政區第五屆政府就職典禮。
Deputy President Chinese President XI Jinping visited Hong Kong on 1 July this year for the 20 Anniversary of Hong Kongs Return to the Motherland and the Inaugural Ceremony of the Fifth Term SAR Government
習主席的演說提及，香港維護國家主權、安全、發展利益的制度需要完善，相信他是指特區政府還未履行兩個重大的憲制責任。
In his speech President XI says that Hong Kong needs sound systems to uphold national sovereignty security and development interests . I believe he is referring to the two major constitutional responsibilities yet to be fulfilled by the SAR Government
第一，就《基本法》第二十三條立法，維護國家安全；第二，按《基本法》第四十五條落實普選行政長官。
The first is to legislate for Article 23 of the Basic Law and uphold national security; and the second is to select the Chief Executive by universal suffrage in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 45 of the Basic Law
可惜，特首在剛發表的施政報告中，只是把這兩個重大議題輕輕帶過，而最令人詫異的是，特首竟然對檔案法的論述，編排於《基本法》第二十三條立法和第四十五條落 實普選行政長官的章節之前。
Regrettably the Chief Executive has only briefly touched on these two important subjects in her Policy Address just delivered . What took us by surprise is that the Chief Executive has put the discussion on archives law before the sections on Legislating for Article 23 of the Basic Law and Article 45 of the Basic Law Selection of the Chief Executive by Universal Suffrage . Archives legislation is important
訂立檔案法固然重要，既可維護政府檔案的完整性，也可提高政府施政的透明度和問責性。
Archive laws can maintain the integrity of government records and enhance the transparency and accountability of governance
但是，如果論及憲制層面的重要性，檔案法實在難以跟《基本法》第二十三條和第四十五條相提並論。
However at the constitutional level archives law is not by far on par with Articles 23 and 45
因此，我認為這樣子排序並不恰當。
I thus hold that this sequence is inappropriate
特首曾經公開指出，《基本法》第二十三條立法和普選行政長官均是極具爭議性的議題，因此需要留待社會出現平和的氣氛，才會就相關法律條文進行理性討論。
The Chief Executive says publicly in a past occasion that legislating for Article 23 of the Basic Law and selecting the Chief Executive by universal suffrage are highly controversial issues and she will restart sensible discussion on the related provisions only when there is a peaceful atmosphere in society
但是，我認為這兩個憲政責任雖然具爭議性，特首也不應該迴避，遲早也應該開誠布公，向公眾交代有關政策的必要性和時間表。
However I hold that the Chief Executive should not dodge these two constitutional responsibilities despite their controversy . Sooner or later she will have to frankly and openly tell the public the necessity of the related policy and its timetable
以第二十三條立法為例，特首和相關官員應該向市民解釋，不少國家早已有類似的法律，第二十三條並不是甚麼洪水猛獸，特首也應該早日為日後在本地立法奠定足夠的民意基礎。
Take the legislation of Article 23 as an example . The Chief Executive and the related public officers should explain to the public that many countries already have similar laws in place long ago and Article 23 is not a scary monster . The Chief Executive should take early actions to build up sufficient public support for the local legislation in future
至於關於普選行政長官的爭議，我認為可以從西方的民主制度說起。
Regarding the controversy over the Chief Executive selection by universal suffrage I think we can start the discussion from the democratic system in the West
西方民主制度的精粹，在於定期、公開、透明、"一人一票"的選舉，近百年來一直備受西方國家推崇。
The western democratic system a system revered by western countries in the past 100 years can be epitomized by regular open and transparent elections by one person one vote
民貴君輕是孟孔思想的核心，對近代中國政治影響極深遠，這個概念跟西方的民主精神不謀而合，只是兩者產生領袖的方法有所不同。
This thinking which has a profound impact on modern political history of China agrees with the spirit of democracy in the West . The two only differ in the way their leaders are produced
既然西方民主制度並非必然是最好的制度，不同國家便應該按自身的發展需要，選擇合適的政治制度。
Given that western democratic systems are not necessarily the best system different countries should choose a political system that suits their own development needs
中國如是，香港也應該如是。
This applies to China and also applies to Hong Kong
我認為應該依照《基本法》按自身的實際情況和循序漸進的原則，落實普選行政長官。
I hold that the selection of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage should be based on the Basic Law taking into account the actual situation in Hong Kong and following the principle of gradual and orderly progress
雖然有人批評提名委員會提名行政長官候選人是過分保守的做法，但換來的卻是政策得以延續，而且如果香港可以"一人一票"選特首，政府施政的透明度和問責性將會大大提高，始能真正制訂出真正以民為本的政策。
Although the approach of nominating the Chief Executive candidates by a nominating committee has been criticized as being too conservative this approach allows the continuation of policies . Besides if Hong Kong can have its Chief Executive elected by one person one vote the transparency and accountability of governance can be greatly enhanced . This is the only way to formulate truly people - oriented policies
因此，我希望特首可以迎難而上，展示她對第二十三條立法和普選行政長官兩個重要議題的承擔，完成我們應盡的憲制責任，帶領香港政制得以向前走。
I thus hope that the Chief Executive can embrace the challenge and demonstrate her commitment to these two important issues that is the legislation of Article 23 and the selection of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage . By so doing we can accomplish our constitutional responsibilities responsibilities that we should fulfil and lead Hong Kong to propel its political system forward
代理主席，正如施政報告所說，法治是香港最重要的核心價值，而司法獨立是維持法治的重要基石。
Deputy President as stated in the Policy Address the rule of law is the most important core value of Hong Kong and judicial independence is the linchpin in upholding the rule of law
過去數月，香港法院對個別案件的判決，引發部分人對司法獨立的負面評論，甚至有人懷疑法庭受到外來干預。
Court rulings on several cases in the past few months have triggered some negative criticisms on the judicial independence in Hong Kong . Some people even suspect that the courts have been subject to external interference
《基本法》清楚確立香港特別行區享有獨立的司法權和終審權，法院獨立進行審判，不受任何干預。
As enshrined in the Basic Law the Hong Kong SAR is vested with independent judicial power including that of final adjudication . Courts conduct trials independently and are immune from any external interference
香港一直維護司法獨立，而香港的司法機構也因為其獨立性和高質素而受到認同。
Hong Kong all along upholds judicial independence and the Judiciary is recognized for its independence and high standard operation
部分評論對司法機構的攻擊實在令人遺憾。
I find some criticisms which attack the Judiciary regrettable
律政司司長過去多次指出，公眾有權評論法庭作出的決定，但評論不應該削弱司法機構的誠信和公正性。
The Secretary for Justice has repeatedly pointed out that the public have the right to comment on court rulings but the comments should not undermine the credibility and impartiality of the Judiciary
澳洲曾有案例指出，法律的權威取決於公眾的信任，而公眾的信任不應該因為法庭和法官的誠信或公正性受到全面基礎的攻擊而動搖，這一點對社會的穩定尤為重要。
As pointed out in a court case in Australia the authority of law hinges on public trust and such trust should not be wavered by extensive attacks on the integrity and impartiality of courts and judges . This point is especially important to the stability of our society
近年，很多人選擇以非常激進，甚至是暴力違法的手段來表達訴求和對政府的不滿，我認為市民選擇這些表達方式的原因，是政府未能適時作回應或向市民解釋，令他們的不滿不斷積累，無法消除，這些情況特區政府和律政司也應該正視，並處理他們的訴求。
Many people in recent years chose very radical means or even violent and illegal means to express their aspirations and discontent towards the Government . I believe their reason for choosing these ways of expression is the Governments failure in making timely response or explanation to the public . The SAR Government and the Judiciary should face up to the escalating public discontent which they find nowhere to vent and address their aspirations
香港高質素和獨立的司法制度，十分值得我們珍惜，我對法院不偏不倚地行使司法權充滿信心，我也相信特區政府會繼續堅定不移地捍衞司法獨立，維護、尊重法治精神。
We should treasure the high quality and independent judicial system in Hong Kong . I have full confident that the courts will exercise their judicial power without bias . I also believe that the SAR Government will remain steadfast in upholding judicial independence and safeguard or respect the spirit of the rule of law
接下來，我想談談公務員的部分，剛才已有很多議員提及。
Next I wish to talk about the Civil Service and many Members just now have also touched on this subject
近年政府為了回應市民不斷增加的訴求和期望，不少政策局和部門均努力尋找和嘗試一些適切的渠道，以加強其工作效率和服務，但卻為公務員帶來不少壓力，包括紀律部隊和前線公務員在執行職務時遇到的困難不斷增加。
In order to respond to increasing demands and aspirations of the people many Policy Bureaux and government departments in recent years have sought to find and try suitable channels to enhance their work efficiency and services . However this has put immense pressure on civil servants including the increasing difficulties that disciplined services and frontline civil servants have encountered in executing their duties . The overall performance of the Civil Service has been outstanding professional and clean
公務員團隊的整體表現非常優秀、專業、高效和廉潔，我感謝公務員團隊一直為我們服務，我相信很多市民和我一樣，會繼續支持他們，為他們打氣。
I thank the Civil Service for serving the public and I will and members of the public as well will continue to support and cheer for them
我歡迎特首今次接納了我們新民黨和政府人員協會的建議和訴求，讓新制下聘請的公務員，包括文職職系可以選擇在65歲退休，紀律部隊的職系可以選擇在60歲退休，希望局方盡快落實相關細節。
I welcome the Chief Executive for having accepted the proposals and aspirations of the New Peoples Party and the Government Employees Association and giving civil servants employed under the new system a choice to retire at 65 or 60 . I hope that the Bureau concerned will expeditiously work out the relevant details
同時，也希望政府認真考慮重啟公務員職系架構檢討、定期檢討和改善非公務員合約僱員的薪酬福利，並將他們納入常額編制。
I also hope that the Government can consider initiating another grade structure review of the Civil Service and regularly review and improve the remuneration package of non - civil service contract staff and include them into the permanent establishment
我們過去亦已多次要求政府為公務員診所提供牙科服務、引入中醫福利、增加宿位和公屋配額，我希望政府能夠積極回應公務員在這數方面的訴求。
In the past we have repeatedly asked the Government to provide dental services in government clinics add Chinese medicine into the remuneration package and increase quarters and public housing quota . I hope the Government can expeditiously respond to these aspirations of civil servants
根據《議事規則》，議員可就致謝議案提出修正案，這些修正案是5位議員以個人名義提出的，未經內務委員會討論，並不代表議員之間的共識。
Under the Rules of Procedure Members can propose amendments to the Motion of Thanks . These amendments are proposed by the five Members in their personal capacity and have not been discussed by the House Committee . They thus do not represent a consensus among Members
鑒於我現在是以內務委員會主席身份發言，按照慣例，我不應該亦不會就5位議員的修正案表達意見或呼籲議員支持或不支持這些修正案。
Since I am now speaking in my capacity as Chairman of the House Committee in accordance with the established practice I should not and will not express any views on the amendments of the five Members or urge Members to support or not to support the amendments of the five Members
李慧琼議員，你還有9分24秒答辯。
Ms Starry LEE you still have 9 minutes 24 seconds to reply
主席，今天有關"致謝議案"的辯論歷時共31小時5分鐘，共有63位議員就各自關注的範疇表達了不少意見，當中有不少屬有建設性的建議。
President the debate on the Motion of Thanks this time has taken up 31 hours and 5 minutes in total and a total of 63 Members have expressed many views regarding the policy areas of concern to us
我希望行政長官和各主要官員能以開放的態度，仔細考慮這些建議。
They have made a lot of constructive suggestions and I hope the Chief Executive and all principal officials will consider these suggestions in detail with an open attitude
今年的施政報告就經濟發展、房屋、教育及醫療等各方面，提出了不少具體的利民政策和措施。
The Policy Address this year proposes many specific policies and measures of benefit to the people with regard to economic development housing education and health care services
即使大家有不同意見，我期望各方仍能透過磋商和溝通，做到求同存異，令那些對社會有益的政策措施得以順利落實。
Although Members have diverse opinions I hope all of us can seek common ground while reserving differences through discussions and communication so that the policies and measures that are beneficial to society can be implemented smoothly
主席，相信大家都很高興看到過去3天，議會相對回復常態，這3天可說是議會持續風暴中的一刻平靜，但平靜過後，不知議會在下周還會否有這樣的好日子。
President I am sure we are all very glad to see that this Council has resumed relatively normal operation over the past three days . These three days can be described as a rare moment of serenity in a raging storm . However after these quiet days are over no one knows if we can enjoy good days like these in this Council next week
主席，這項有關"致謝議案"的辯論主要是提供一個平台，讓大家就施政報告各抒己見，議案本身並無方向性，希望議員可予以支持。
President this debate on the Motion of Thanks mainly serves to provide a platform for Members to express their views on the Policy Address . The motion itself does not point in any direction and I hope Members will support the motion
梁振英在2013年推出首份施政報告，我至今也經常拿出來翻看，因為這是唯一一份有標題、有段落提到不同性傾向人士問題的施政報告，當中當然有提到關於立法保障不同性傾向人士免受歧視。
LEUNG Chun - ying announced his first policy address in 2013 . Even now I still read it from time to time because it is the only policy address which devotes a separate heading and paragraph to people of different sexual orientations . It talks about whether an anti - discrimination law is needed to protect people of different sexual orientation
政府在4年前是這樣說的，我引述第131段："政府明白這是一個極富爭議性的課題，必須審慎處理。
This is what the Government said in paragraph 131 of LEUNGs policy address four years ago The Government understands that this is a highly controversial issue which must be tackled cautiously
那麼，在廣泛聽取意見4年後，下一步又怎樣呢？
Now after listening to different views from various sectors for four years what is the Government going to do next?
今年在林鄭月娥的施政報告中，便是對此隻字不提，而在她的施政綱領中則有一段，就是："進一步研究其他司法管轄區推行反歧視措施的經驗，為日後的公眾諮詢工作提供依據"，這究竟是甚麼意思呢？
Well in her policy address this year Carrie LAM simply does not mention this issue at all . And in the policy agenda there are only these words conducting further study on the experience of other jurisdictions in implementing anti - discrimination measures to provide the basis for future consultations . What does this mean anyway?
主席，記得在我首次於立法會選舉當選後，我來到當時的政務司司長林鄭月娥的辦公室向她拜訪時，當然曾請教她對於性傾向歧視條例立法的意見。
President I remember when I was first elected to the Legislative Council I paid a visit to the office of Carrie LAM who was then the Chief Secretary for Administration . I of course asked her to tell me how she looked at the enactment of legislation on discrimination against different sexual orientations
當時，林鄭月娥給予我的首句答覆，就是說這不是政府的first priority，意思是這並非政府工作的首要任務。
Carrie LAM replied upfront that this was not the Governments first priority meaning that this was not the first and foremost task of the Government
我今天並非想與大家談同性婚姻，而是想說一說反歧視條例。
What I want to talk about today is not same - sex marriage but anti - discrimination legislation though
標準工時有爭議、全民退保有爭議，如果有爭議的事情就不做，連諮詢也不願做，其實政府當看到問題、看到爭議出現時，是有責任化解爭議，推動社會向前的。
The issue of standard working hours is controversial and so is universal retirement protection . What will happen if the Government refuses to do anything or even conduct any consultation whenever there are controversies? . Actually whenever the Government notices any problems and arguments it is duty - bound to resolve the disputes and take society forward
在選舉時的說話當然動聽，"林鄭"便曾說"政府是調解員、仲裁者的角色，若能讓兩種意見不同的人走近一點，政府政策可能有出路"。
Words said in the course of electioneering are as a rule highly appealing . And Carrie LAM once remarked that the Government would play the role of a mediator or arbitrator and that if it could thus bring people of opposing views closer together there might be hope for the successful implementation of government policies
我記得林鄭月娥在本會發表施政報告時，便說了8個很精彩的大字，就是"志不求易，事不避難"，應該做的事情便要做。
I can still recall that when Carrie LAM announced her policy address in this Chamber she said some words that are quite wonderful setting no easy goals and avoiding no difficult tasks . This means that what should be done must be done
這8個大字對於保障小眾人權便是相當合適的，因為如果要所有大眾也接受，才會實行保障小眾人權，便是接近一輩子也不用做的。
These words can be aptly applied to the case of protecting minority rights . The reason is that if the protection of minority rights is to be implemented only when all in society accept it then no such protection will probably be forthcoming at all
律政司司長現時也在席，近年越來越多同志選擇以司法覆核方式挑戰政府，尋求法院濟助，就是由於政府在保障同志權益的政策甚至法律上毫無寸進，所以大家唯有依靠法庭尋找最後的濟助。
Now the Secretary for Justice is in the Chamber . In recent years more and more people choose to challenge the Government by way of judicial review and seek relief from the court . The precise reason for this is that the Government has not made any policy or even legislative progress in protecting the rights of people of different sexual orientations
從跨性別人士W的婚權案、QT受養人的簽證案、入境事務主任要求同性伴侶福利案，以至將來可能會有越來越多司法覆核，我們唯有靠法庭的裁決迫使政府行多一步，行多數步。
As a result people can only turn to the court for relief as the last resort . Some examples are the cases involving a transsexual person W seeking marital right QTs dispute over the denial of dependant visa to her partner and an immigration officers fight for civil service welfare benefits for his same - sex husband . There are likely to be more and more judicial review cases in future
其實，以法庭裁決迫使政府做事或迫立法會立法，絕非最理想的處理方法，但我們沒有辦法，就是由於政府完全不願意主動進行有關的政策和立法工作。
We only know that we can only depend on court rulings as a means of forcing the Government to take a step forward or perhaps several steps forward . Honestly relying on court rulings as a means of forcing the Government to do something or urging the Legislative Council to enact legislation is not the best approach . But we have no alternative because the Government is so reluctant to take the initiative to take forward the relevant policy and legislative work
主席，所以我亦提交了一項議員議案，內容相當理性及自我約束，我只要求政府研究訂定一個保障同性伴侶的制度，並且進行公眾諮詢。
President as a result I have submitted a Members motion . Its content is very sensible and self - restrained . I only ask the Government to explore the formulation of a system for protecting same - sex partners and to conduct some public consultation
最後談到同志運動會，上星期香港成功擊敗美國華盛頓和墨西哥的瓜達拉哈拉，奪得2022年的世界同志運動會主辦權。
Lastly I want to speak on the Gay Games . Last week Hong Kong beat Washington DC and Mexicos Guadalajara and won the hosting right for the Gay Games 2022
本來這應放在上一部分體壇盛事中談論，不過，我最後決定放在這部分談論，因為香港奪得國際體壇盛事，而香港掌管體育的官員，民政事務局局長和體育專員有否公開說一句恭喜？
Actually I should have discussed this in the previous debate session on sports . But I have eventually decided to discuss it in this debate session because after Hong Kong has won the hosting right for this international sports event the Secretary for Home Affairs and the Commissioner for Sports who are in charge of Hong Kongs sports affairs have not even said a word of congratulations in public
連一句"我真的恭喜你"也不肯說。
They have refused to even say a word of congratulations
所以，我唯有將之納入平權議題中。
So I have no alternative but to include this issue in the equal rights topic
這個運動會超過70個國家參與，第一次在亞洲舉行，可以吸引15,000名參賽者，二萬多三萬名觀眾，為香港製造眾多商機。
More than 70 countries will participate in the Gay Games . The Gay Games in 2022 will be the first of its kind to be hosted in Asia . It will attract 15 000 players and 20 000 to 30 000 spectators
運動項目因應亞洲，因應香港會增設龍舟競渡、越野賽跑和跑樓梯，為香港帶來高達10億元的經濟效益，但香港政府如何回應？
Therefore it will create various business opportunities for Hong Kong . As the Gay Games is to be held in Asia new games such as a dragon boat race a cross - country race and a staircase race will be added . All this will bring economic benefits worth 1 billion to Hong Kong
世界同志運動會正正是國際體壇盛事，符合盛事化的原則。
The Gay Games is exactly a major international sports event that fits Governments own advocacy
其實世界同志運動會也改名為同樂運動會，因為該運動會不單是同志參加，而是不分性別、性傾向、性別認同的運動會，所有人士均可參加，推廣多元共融。
Actually the Gay Games should be renamed the Fun Games because gay people are not the only ones who can participate . Rather it is an event open to people of all sexes sexual orientations and sex identities . It is open to all as it promotes pluralism and integration
但是，一個推動人權、平權的活動，世界各地的駐港領事均出席，卻從來沒有香港的政府官員出席，真的貽笑大方，是國際的大笑話。
But this is an event which promotes human rights and equal rights and various consulates in Hong Kong will turn up . Sadly no Hong Kong government officials will attend . This is really laughable and a laughing stock of the international community
局長掌權平權，他如何向公眾交代？
Since the Secretary is in charge of equal rights how can he explain that to the public?
如何向世界交代？
How can he explain that to the world?
主席，在本節辯論，有幾位議員先後就公務員事務提出了寶貴的意見，我先感謝他們對公務員事務的關注。
President in this debate session several Members have put forward their valuable views on civil service matters . First of all I wish to thank them for putting forward their concerns about civil service matters
在此我希望就幾個主要範疇作出扼要回應。
Now let me briefly respond to some of the major areas
主席，我十分感謝多位議員體恤公務員所面對的挑戰和壓力，葛珮帆議員更特別關心紀律部隊的人手問題。
President I really appreciate Members for being sympathetic to the challenges and pressures that civil servants have to face . Dr Elizabeth QUAT was especially concerned about the manpower issue of the disciplined forces
整體而言，為了配合本屆政府推行各項新政策和措施，並紓緩公務員的工作壓力，我們計劃增加公務員人手編制，預計在2018-2019財政年度的編制增長將不少於3%，是回歸以來最高的按年增幅。
Overall to tie in with various new policies and initiatives that the Government of the current term will implement in addition to alleviating the pressure at work borne by civil servants we are seeking an increase in the civil service establishment . It is estimated that the growth of the civil service establishment in the fiscal year 2018 to 2019 will be not less than 3 % which is the highest year - on - year growth since the reunification
有關詳情將於2018-2019年度財政預算案公布。
The details will be published in the 2018 - 2019 budget
在此我可以指出，這些增加的人手會包括管理層和前線人員，亦充分考慮了未來因應新口岸開通和其他新措施所需要的人手增加。
I should point out that the increase in manpower will include management and frontline personnel and we have taken into full consideration the future manpower need for the commissioning of new border control points and other relevant facilities
當然，正如謝偉俊議員指出，我們有需要檢視現有人手是否適當。
Certainly as Mr Paul TSE pointed out just now we need to look into whether or not the existing manpower is adequate
我們理解公務員編制不可能無止境地增長，因此，行政長官亦要求各部門首長簡政放權、創新協作、善用科技，加上內部調配、重整工序等措施，以減低對人手的需求。
We also understand that the civil service establishment should not be expanded without limit . For that reason the Chief Executive also asks all heads of department to enhance governance and streamline administration to be innovative and collaborative to make good use of technology in addition to implementing measures such as making internal deployment and re - engineering work processes to minimize the demand for manpower
潘兆平議員和容海恩議員都對於非公務員合約員工的數目提出了一些意見，讓我回應幾點。
Mr POON Siu - ping and Ms YUNG Hoi - yan have put forward their views on the number of non - civil service contract NCSC staff . Please allow me to respond to a few points
根據統計，我們現時大約有11,900名全職非公務員合約僱員，較2006年高峰已大幅下降超過三成，當中部分原因是我們嚴格執行既定政策，將有長遠需要並適宜由公務員執行的崗位，以公務員逐步取代。
According to statistics currently we have approximately 11 900 full - time non - civil service contract staff which has substantially decreased by more than 30 % when compared with that in the peak of 2006 . Part of the reason is that we strictly execute the established policy of gradually deploying civil servants to take up duties which should more appropriately be performed by civil servants on a long - term basis
過去10年，已有7,500個合約崗位被取代。
Over the past 10 years about 7 500 NCSC positions have been replaced by civil servants
長期聘用的情況亦已逐步改善，2016年年中約三分之一合約僱員持續服務5年或以上，比2013年年中最高峰減少近兩成。
The situation of permanent appointment has improved gradually . In mid - 2016 about one third of the NCSC staff was with a length of continuous service of 5 years or more which has dropped by 20 % when compared with the peak in mid - 2013
當中約三成曾擔任超過一個合約崗位。
About 30 % of them have been undertaking more than one NCSC position
基於性質，部分崗位實難以公務員職位取代。
Due to the job nature some positions could hardly be replaced by civil service positions
我們會繼續密切留意非公務員合約僱員計劃的實施情況，定期向相關事務委員會作出匯報。
We will continue to closely monitor the implementation of the NCSC scheme and will brief the relevant panel regularly
我亦會繼續親身與部門首長聯繫，以確保計劃的實際操作符合規定，發揮其特定作用。
I will also contact the heads of department concerned in person in order to ensure that the actual operation of the scheme will meet the requirements and to play its special role
潘兆平議員關心可否讓合約員工直接轉為公務員，政府的政策是招聘程序需公開、公平和具競爭性。
Mr POON Siu - ping is concerned about whether NCSC staff can be directly converted to civil servants . According to the relevant government policy the recruitment process has to be open fair and competitive
