這不是張宇人議員第一次提出類似議案，很多香港市民多年來都聽到張議員就此議題鍥而不捨，剛開始提出這項議題時，可能有人以為他針對專業醫生，到了近年已有改變。
This is not the first time Mr Tommy CHEUNG has proposed a motion of this kind . Many Hong Kong people must have heard over the years that Mr CHEUNG has been persistently pursuing this issue . When he first raised this issue some people might think that he was targeting at professional doctors but that has changed in recent years
例如今天的會議廳裏，很多議員都很憤怒，表達很多意見，因為他們接觸到的很多市民對香港的醫療非常不滿。
For example many Members in the Chamber are indignant today . They have expressed a lot of views because many people they have met are very dissatisfied with Hong Kongs healthcare services
我相信醫生不足是其中一個很主要的原因，其實永遠是供應和需求的問題。
I believe that the shortage of doctors is one of the main reasons . In fact it is always a matter of supply and demand
香港怎麼會發生這種情況？
How come such a thing could happen in Hong Kong?
如果你想找這位市民，我可以向你介紹。
If you want to look for this person I can introduce him to you
這是否醫生的問題呢？
Is this a problem with doctors?
陳沛然醫生剛才說，我們有很多醫生，只是政府不收而已，我聽完感到莫名其妙，很驚訝。
Dr Pierre CHAN has said just now that we have many doctors but the Government refuses to accept them . I was perplexed and surprised upon hearing his remarks
代理主席，我們終於可以處理議員議案，就大家很關心的議題進行辯論。
Deputy President finally we can deal with Members Motion and debate issues of great public concern
如果要比得上新加坡，香港便要增加3,000名醫生。
If Hong Kong has to catch up with Singapore we have to increase the number of doctors by 3 000
當時政府採納了張宇人議員的私人法案，改為政府法案，並作出改善。
Back then the Government accepted the Members bill of Mr Tommy CHEUNG and adopted that as a government bill with improvements
及後，有關條例草案在2018年獲得通過，令有限度註冊醫生的數目得以增加。
Later a relevant Bill was passed in 2018 and the number of doctors under limited registration has been increased
根據政府在2017年所做的規劃報告，到了2030年已欠1,000名醫生，即使現時開始增加培訓醫生，屆時是否可以追回1,000名醫生呢？
According to the planning report published by the Government in 2017 there will be a shortfall of 1 000 doctors by 2030 . Even if we start to train more doctors from now on will it be possible to replenish the shortfall of 1 000 doctors by then?
因此，我們要用多管齊下的方法增加醫生。
Hence we have to adopt a multi - pronged approach to increase the number of doctors
大量培訓本地醫生是必要的，另外還要有一個完善的機制，令我們可以引入外地培訓醫生；第三，是如何令一些退休醫生在退休後重新聘用。
It is necessary to train a large number of local doctors . Moreover a sound mechanism should be put in place for importing non - locally trained doctors . Thirdly the authorities should identify ways to rehire retired doctors
我們要用不同的方法增加醫生的供應，這樣才能確保公營醫療系統可以為市民提供適切的服務。
We should adopt different approaches to increase the supply of doctors to ensure that the public healthcare system can provide appropriate services to the public
政府要有一個完善機制引入外地培訓醫生，必定不能影響現時本地培訓醫生的晉升機會。
The Government has to put in place a sound mechanism for importing non - locally trained doctors without affecting the promotion prospects of existing locally - trained doctors
換言之，輸入的醫生主要做臨床工作，為病人提供服務，而不會影響本地醫生的明確晉升機會及晉升階梯。
In other words the imported doctors will mainly be engaged in clinical duties and providing services to patents which will not affect the definite promotion prospects and career ladder of local doctors
這樣做才可以既為病人提供服務，又保障本地醫生有一個很明確的晉升階梯。
This is the only way to ensure the provision of services to patients while protecting the definite promotion ladder of local doctors
現時公立醫院醫生工作"做到死"，如果有外地培訓醫生提供協助，便可以減低本地培訓醫生的工作壓力，兼令市民獲得良好的服務。
At present doctors in public hospitals are drowning in work . If non - locally trained doctors can offer help this will alleviate the work pressure of locally - trained doctors while the public can receive good services
因此，我們認為政府無需考慮其他，單單看當局2017年的報告，即2030年會欠1,000名醫生，然後就此做工夫，多管齊下增加醫生的供應。
Hence we find it unnecessary for the Government to make other considerations . It should simply focus on the shortfall of 1 000 doctors by 2030 as stated in the report in 2017 and then do something about it by increasing the supply of doctors through a multi - pronged approach
代理主席，我也支持陸頌雄議員的原議案。
Deputy President I also support Mr LUK Chung - hungs original motion
由於時間關係，我只想向局長提出一個十分重要的問題。
Due to the time constraint I only wish to draw the Secretarys attention to one very important issue
當初很多人也不明白為何運輸及房屋的事務要交由同一個政策局負責，我現在越來越明白箇中的重要性，因為如果興建房屋而不能夠解決交通運輸的問題，便無法改善市民生活，而且在推動房屋項目時亦會受到很大阻力。
At first many people did not understand why the same Policy Bureau is made responsible for matters relating to transport and housing . Now I can see more and more clearly the importance of it because if in the course of housing development the transport problems are not addressed in tandem it would be impossible to improve the peoples living and worse still the Government will meet great resistance in taking forward housing projects
再者，由於政府找不到土地，當政府不斷在已 經十分擠塞的地方繼續興建公屋或賣地興建私人樓宇，只會令新界東西的交通擠塞問題越趨嚴重。
Moreover given the Governments failure to find land when the Government continuously develops public housing units or sells land for private housing development at places where traffic is already very congested the problem of traffic congestion in New Territories East and West will only become increasingly serious
坪輋村村民認為711個單位會帶來1,000至2,000人口，對社區造成極大影響，村內交通工具主要靠52K小巴和79K巴士，上下班時間也要排長龍。
According to the villagers of Ping Che Village 711 housing units will bring an additional population of 1 000 to 2 000 and this will have a huge impact on the community . In terms of public transport villagers mainly rely on minibus No . 52K and bus No
港鐵粉嶺站52K小巴站經常排長龍，市民在繁忙時間最少要等30分鐘才能夠上車。
79K and long queues can be seen during peak commuting hours . There is always a long queue at the terminus of minibus No . 52K at Fanling MTR station and passengers have to wait for at least 30 minutes before they can get on a minibus during the peak hours
這個白石站是非常有需要的，因為那裏不斷有新樓盤銷售，將來交通是一個十分大的問題。
This Pak Shek station is very much needed because new housing developments have been continuously put up for sale there and transport will become a huge problem in future
屯馬綫開通後也幫不了屯門南的居民，屯馬綫根本無法幫助解決錦上、天水圍、西鐵綫的擠迫情況。
The commissioning of the Tuen Ma Line is not of much help to the residents of Tuen Mun South for it basically cannot ease the crowdedness on Kam Sheung Road Tin Shui Wai and the West Rail
如果局長告訴新界西居民，待政府填好人工島後，正如"田二少"所說，屆時將會有新的鐵路經過海底，再經過人工島，一直接駁到中環，但二三十年後，那些市民已經"迫死"了。
If the Secretary will tell residents in New Territories West that when the artificial islands are built after completion of the reclamation works as mentioned by Mr Michael TIEN there will be a new railway crossing the harbour to connect Central via the artificial islands but two to three decades down the line the residents would have been crammed to death
代理主席，我真的沒想到在今時今日的立法會裏，竟然還有議員夠膽質疑香港是否有醫生不足的問題，鄭松泰議員剛才說香港有足夠醫生，所以廖長江議員說他來自火星，說得真對。
Deputy President I really find it unimaginable that nowadays in the Legislative Council a Member would blatantly question whether Hong Kong suffers from a shortage of doctors . Just now Dr CHENG Chung - tai said there are sufficient doctors in Hong Kong . That is why Mr Martin LIAO said he came from Mars
此外，陳沛然議員說自己是醫生，他指不可以引入海外醫生的其中一個原因，是香港回歸後，已取消引入英聯邦醫生，現在若要引入海外醫生，便不可以只引入英聯邦醫生，因為不能排除中國國內的醫生。
Besides Dr Pierre CHAN said he himself is a doctor . He claimed that one of the reasons why overseas doctors should not be admitted was that after the reunification of Hong Kong the practice of admitting doctors from Commonwealth countries was abolished . Now if we admit overseas doctors we cannot only admit doctors from Commonwealth countries because we cannot exclude doctors from Mainland China
我真的覺得匪夷所思。
I really find it inconceivable
很多市民在病發之初已希望能及早治療，這樣不但可以減低醫療負擔，亦可以改善生活質素，防止病情惡化，甚至可以救命，但他們卻要一直等待，不是等待幾個月，而是幾年。
Many people wish to have early treatment in the initial stage of illness . Not only can this relieve their burden of medical expenses but also improve their quality of life prevent their medical condition from deteriorating and even save their lives . Yet they have to keep waiting not for a few months but a few years
其中一個最重要的問題正是醫生人手不足。
One of the most crucial problems is precisely the shortage of doctors
醫院管理局的管理當然可以改善，但根本的問題是醫生人手不足，這是有數據證明的。
Of course the management of the Hospital Authority HA can be improved but the fundamental problem is the shortage of doctors which can be proved by the available figures
很多議員也提到，根據經濟合作與發展組織的標準，每1,000名人口應該有多少名醫生？
As many Members have mentioned for every 1 000 people how many doctors should there be according to the standard of the Organisation for Economic Co - operation and Development OECD?
香港只有1.9，但南韓和新加坡有2.3，日本有2.4，澳洲則有3.6。
In Hong Kong there are only 1.9 whereas in South Korea and Singapore there are 2.3 . In Japan there are 2.4 and in Australia 3.6
培訓醫生當然是好事，增加多些名額亦然，但能否追得上香港人口老化的需要呢？
Training doctors is certainly a good thing to do . So is increasing the number of places . However can such an approach catch up with the needs arising from population ageing in Hong Kong?
所以，我今天當然非常支持張宇人議員的議案，我們必須制訂輸入非本地培訓醫生的新機制，才能解決這個問題。
Hence of course I strongly support Mr Tommy CHEUNGs motion today . We must formulate a new mechanism for importing non - locally trained doctors in order to resolve this problem
民建聯一直也是朝着這方向前進，我們認為政府應盡快採取一切可行的措施，以增加本地醫生的供應，例如放寬海外醫生來港註冊的機制、優化醫管局重聘退休員工的計劃，以及研究興建第三間本地醫學院等，這些全部都是政府應該做的事。
DAB has all along moved forward in this direction . In our view the Government should expeditiously adopt every practicable measure to increase the local supply of doctors such as relaxing the mechanism for the registration of overseas doctors in Hong Kong enhancing HAs scheme for rehiring retired staff and conducting a study on the development of the third local medical school . All of these are what the Government should do
最重要是，為解決燃眉之急，要盡快引入和吸引更多海外專科醫生及合資格的醫生來港。
Most importantly to meet the urgent need it is necessary to admit and attract more overseas specialists and qualified doctors to Hong Kong as soon as possible
我們希望在現時有限度註冊的制度下，容許在醫管局工作不少於5年即已經做了5年專科醫生並得到僱主證明工作 表現滿意的醫生，可以免試正式註冊成為醫生。
We hope that under the existing system of limited registration doctors who have worked in HA for not less than five years ie . having served as a specialist for five years and whose performance has been proven satisfactory by their employers will be allowed to fully register as medical practitioners without taking any examination
我們聽到很多海外專科醫生不願來港的原因，首先，他們已經當了專科醫生多年，來港後卻要在醫管局作有限度註冊，更倒過頭來要考基準試，有沒有搞錯？
As we have heard the reason why many overseas specialists are unwilling to come to Hong Kong is first of all they have already worked as specialists for years but after coming to Hong Kong they are required to work under limited registration in HA . What is worse they have to go backwards and sit for the basic licensing examination . How could this be?
醫委會經常談及專業自主，究竟是專業自主，還是專業霸權或保護主意？
MCHK often talks about professional autonomy . After all is it professional autonomy? . Or is it professional hegemony or protectionism?
所以，我認為政府現在若要消除民怨，為人民的福祉着想，特首和官員不要再迴避此事，應該取回主導權，制訂一項新機制，修改法例，盡快引入合資格的海外專科醫生來港，以滿足我們今天所需，不要再"揸頸就命"，任由這些醫生拿香港人的性命作賭注，這是我們的要求。
Hence in my view if the Government now wishes to allay public grievances and work for the well - being of the people the Chief Executive and the officials should stop evading this matter . They should regain control formulate a new mechanism and amend the legislation for expeditious admission of qualified overseas specialists to Hong Kong so as to meet our present needs . They should stop compromising and allowing such doctors to put the lives of Hongkongers at stake
代理主席，我謹此陳辭。
This is our request . Deputy President I so submit
主席，首先，我感謝陸頌雄議員就"紓緩道路交通擠塞"提出的議案，以及陳恒鑌議員所提出的修正案。
President first of all I have to thank Mr LUK Chung - hung for proposing the motion on Alleviating road traffic congestion and Mr CHAN Han - pan for proposing the amendment
交通擠塞向來是全球各個大城市共同面對的難題，香港亦不例外。
Traffic congestion has always been a common problem faced by various major cities around the world and Hong Kong is no exception
香港地少人多，路面空間非常有限，我們難以靠不斷興建道路來解決交通擠塞問題。
Hong Kong is a densely populated city with limited road space so it is difficult for us to tackle traffic congestion by building roads continuously
政府一直採取多管齊下的運輸政策，透過完善交通網絡規劃、改善運輸基礎設施、擴展和改善公共交通系統，以至優化各項交通管理措施等工作，保持客貨運輸流暢。
The Government has all along adopted a multi - pronged transport policy to maintain a smooth flow of passengers and goods traffic through enhancing transport network planning improving transport infrastructure expanding and enhancing public transport systems as well as optimizing various traffic management measures
事實上，根據凱諦思顧問公司最新的"可持續城市交通指數"，香港位列全球之冠。
In fact according to the latest Sustainable Cities Mobility Index of Arcadis Hong Kong ranks number one in the world
研究中指出，香港既有完善的地下鐵路網絡，同時擁有巴士、小巴、電車、的士和渡輪等各種高效價廉的交通工具，每天為九成市民出行提供便捷的公共交通服務，使香港成為全球汽車依賴度最低的城市之一。
The study points out that Hong Kong has a well - developed mass transit railway network and various kinds of highly efficient and inexpensive modes of transport such as buses minibuses trams taxis and ferries providing efficient and convenient public transport services to 90 % of daily commuters and making Hong Kong one of the least car - dependent cities in the world
此外，新加坡陸路交通管理局於2014年11月進行的一項研究指出，香港使用公共交通工具的比率為研究所涵蓋的27個城市中最高。
Moreover according to a study conducted by the Land Transport Authority of Singapore in November 2014 the public transport usage rate in Hong Kong was the highest among 27 major cities covered by the study
環顧其他大城市，首爾使用公共交通工具的比率約七成，新加坡六成，東京五成，倫敦及紐約則只有三成。
For other major cities the public transport usage rate was around 70 % in Seoul 60 % in Singapore 50 % in Tokyo and merely 30 % in London and New York
從上述研究可見，香港交通網絡的便捷程度處於世界前列。
It is evident from the above mentioned study that the transport network of Hong Kong is among the most efficient and convenient in the world
鑒於香港的路面空間極為有限，為了減少在路面行駛的車輛數目，政府運輸政策的核心是以公共交通為本，以鐵路為骨幹。
Given the very limited road space in Hong Kong and in order to reduce the number of vehicles using the road the essence of the Governments transport policy is to adopt public transport as the core with railway as the backbone
就此，政府分別在2000年及2014年公布了《鐵路發展策略2000》和《鐵路發展策略2014》，為新鐵路項目作完善規劃，以回應運輸需求和配合新發展區的需要。
In this connection the Government published the Railway Development Strategy 2000 and the Railway Development Strategy 2014 RDS - 2014 in 2000 and 2014 respectively providing comprehensive planning for new railway projects to respond to transport demand and meet the need of new development areas
當所有《鐵路發展策略2014》項目完成後，鐵路網絡總長度會超逾300公里，並預計會覆蓋全港約75%人口居住的地區和約85%的就業機會。
Upon completion of all RDS - 2014 projects the total length of the railway network will exceed 300 km and is expected to cover about 70 % of the population and about 85 % of the employment opportunities in Hong Kong
擴展鐵路網絡亦將會支持新發展區及其他新發展項目，促進地區的活化、發展和經濟活動，並且有助市民縮短行程時間，令市民往來香港各處更為輕鬆、便捷。
The expansion of the railway network will also support new development areas and other new development projects to facilitate revitalization development and economic activities in the districts and help shorten commuters journey time thus making travel easier and more efficient for members of the public across the territory
現時，香港道路的總長度已超過2,100多公里，道路網絡十分發達，為更完備的公共交通配套奠下堅實的基礎，便利市民使用各式公共交通工具到達港、九和新界各區。
A present Hong Kong has a very well - developed road network with a total road length of over 2 100 km . This provides a solid foundation for a more comprehensive public transport support and facilitates public access to various places on the Hong Kong Island in Kowloon and the New Territories by different modes of public transport
政府在2017年6月完成的《公共交通策略研究》，確立了公共交通系統賴以成功的要素，並建議了超過60項措施優化公共交通布局。
The Public Transport Strategy Study completed by the Government in June 2017 reaffirmed the key factors underpinning the success of the public transport system and recommended over 60 measures to enhance the arrangement of public transport system
這些措施有助確保市民可享用高效、便捷和多元化的公共交通服務。
These measures help to ensure that the public can enjoy highly efficient convenient and diversified public transport services
為吸引更多市民使用公共交通工具，並減輕公共交通開支較高的市民的交通費負擔，政府於去年1月1日推出免入息審查的公共交通費用補貼計劃，若市民每月的公共交通開支超出400元，便可領取補貼。
To attract more people to use public transport and to alleviate the burden of transport expenses on those who spend more on public transport the Government launched the non - means tested Public Transport Fare Subsidy Scheme the Scheme on 1 January last year . Members of the public who spend more than 400 a month on public transport are eligible for the subsidy
計劃自推出以來，運作暢順，亦廣受社會大眾歡迎，市民普遍認為計劃有助紓緩交通費的壓力。
Since its implementation the Scheme has been operating smoothly and is well - received by the public at large . They generally consider that the scheme can help relieve the pressure on transport fares
截至2020年10月，計劃所涉及的補貼總額超過35億元，平均每月約200萬名市民受惠。
As at October 2020 the total subsidy amount involved in the Scheme was over 3.5 billion benefiting an average of around 2 million people per month
此外，為紓緩專營巴士的加價壓力，政府已修訂法例，自去年2月17日起，豁免各專營巴士營辦商繳交7條政府收費隧道和青馬及青沙管制區的隧道費和使用費。
Moreover to relieve the pressure of fare increase of franchised buses the Government has amended the legislation to exempt franchised bus operators from paying the tolls and fees of seven government tolled tunnels and the Tsing Ma and Tsing Sha Control Areas from 17 February last year
各個專營巴士營辦商已設立其專用的基金帳目，存入所節省的隧道費和使用費，以減低市民日後所需承受的加價幅度。
The franchised bus operators have set up their own dedicated fund accounts to deposit the savings in tolls and fees to reduce the magnitude of future fare increase to be shouldered by passengers
事實上，基金的紓緩作用已降低乘客在去年年初城巴，即香港島及過海巴士網絡，以及新巴的車費調整中所需承擔的車費加幅。
In fact the mitigating effect of the dedicated fund has already lowered the rate of fare increase to be borne by the passengers in the fare adjustment of Citybus ie . the Hong Kong Island and cross - harbour bus network and that of New World First Bus which passengers have to shoulder early last year
至於港鐵方面，政府會繼續為市民把關，要求港鐵公司按機制調整票價之餘，亦適切回應市民的訴求，為市民提供更多乘車優惠。
As for the Mass Transit Railway MTR the Government will continue to act as a gatekeeper for the public interest by requiring the Mass Transit Railway Corporation Limited MTRCL to adjust its fare according to the mechanism while appropriately responding to public aspirations and offering more fare concessions for passengers
舉 例而言，因應新型冠狀病毒疫情，港鐵公司由今年7月1日起計的6個月內，為使用八達通的乘客提供"程程八折"等優惠。
For instance in view of the COVID - 19 epidemic MTRCL will offer fare concessions to passengers using Octopus like the 20 % Rebate for Every Octopus Trip for six months with effect from 1 July 2020
至於陳恒鑌議員就積極推行公共交通工具優先使用道路的建議，運輸署已在合適的道路上設立巴士專線和巴士專用入口，令巴士乘客得到更大程度的便捷。
As for Mr CHAN Han - pans proposal on proactively implementing the measure to accord priority in the use of roads to public transport the Transport Department TD has set up bus - only lanes and designating bus gates on suitable roads to provide greater convenience to bus passengers
此外，運輸署於去年推出"請讓巴士"的巴士友善交通措施，鼓勵駕駛者讓巴士更容易地駛出巴士站至鄰近行車線。
Moreover last year TD introduced the bus - friendly traffic measure Give way to bus to encourage motorists to let buses exit more easily from bus bays to adjacent traffic lanes
至於其他公共交通工具，政府亦設置了的士上落客點，並在交通情況可行下放寬部分禁止停車限制，讓的士及專線小巴使用，以方便他們營運及提升服務質素。
As for other modes of public transport the Government has designated taxi pick - updrop - off points and where traffic situations allow relaxed some no - stopping restrictions for taxis and green minibus to pickupdrop - off passengers in order to facilitate their operation and enhancement of service quality
我們期望透過上述措施，鼓勵市民多使用公共交通工具出行，以減少在繁忙時間出現交通擠塞的情況。
With the implementation of the above measures we hope to encourage the public to use public transport more often to alleviate traffic congestion during peak hours
由於香港的路面空間始終有限，除了擴展和改善公共交通系統外，政府會繼續按部就班推行交通諮詢委員會在《香港道路交通擠塞研究報告》中提出的一系列短、中及長期建議，更有效使用路面空間，紓緩交通擠塞。
As the road space in Hong Kong is limited after all apart from expanding and enhancing the public transport system the Government will continue to introduce a progressively a series of short medium to long - term recommendations put forth by the Transport Advisory Committee TAC in the Report on the Study of Road Traffic Congestion in Hong Kong to make more effective use of road space and alleviate traffic congestion
在泊車位方面，我們理解市民，尤其是駕駛人士，對泊車位供應的關注，亦期望政府可以增加泊車位供應。
Regarding parking spaces we understand that the concern of the public particularly motorists about the supply of parking spaces and hope that the Government can increase their supply
政府目前提供泊車位的政策，是優先考慮及配合商用車輛的泊車需求，並在整體發展容許的情況下同時提供適量的私家車泊車位，但不鼓勵慣常使用公共交通工具的市民轉用私家車，以免增加路面交通的負荷。
The Governments current policy on the provision of parking spaces is to accord priority to considering and meeting the parking demand of commercial vehicles and to provide an appropriate number of private car parking spaces if the overall development permits but at the same time not to cause frequent users of public transport to opt for private cars in lieu of public transport so as to avoid aggravating the road traffic
政府正採取一系列措施，以適度增加泊車位供應，包括在合適的路旁劃設夜間泊車位，以及按照"一地多用"的原則在合適的"政府、機構或社區"設施和公共休憩用地項目中加設公眾泊車位等。
The Government is pursuing a host of measures to increase car parking spaces as appropriate which include designating suitable on - street locations as night - time parking spaces and following the principle of single site multiple uses to provide public car parking spaces in suitable Government Institution or Community facilities public open space projects and public housing developments and so on
運輸署亦正積極推展6個自動泊車系統先導項目，以期在興建、營運和管理不同種類的自動泊車系統，以及相關財務安排等方面積累經驗作適時檢討，以備日後可在政府和私人公眾停車場推廣應用。
TD is proactively taking forward six automated parking system pilot projects with a view to acquiring and consolidating experience in building operating and managing different types of automated parking systems and the associated financial arrangements . With review conducted at an appropriate time it will pave the way for wider application of automated parking systems in government and privately operated public car parks in future
陸頌雄議員在原議案中提出在主要公共運輸交匯處提供泊車轉乘優惠，陳恒鑌議員亦有特別提出，這亦是交諮會報告的其中一項建議。
Mr LUK Chung - hung in his original motion proposes the provision of park - and - ride concessions at major public transport interchanges a proposal which Mr CHAN Han - pan has particularly mentioned and is one of the many recommendations made by TAC in the Report
正如我在開首時提到，政府主要的運輸政策是以公共交通為主，以鐵路為骨幹。
As I mentioned in the beginning the essence of the Governments policy is to develop a transportation system with public transport as the core and railways as the backbone
在這前提下，政府支持在合適的鐵路站或鄰近地點提供泊車轉乘設施，鼓勵駕駛人士停泊車輛後轉乘鐵路，減少車輛駛進道路交通擠塞的地區。
On this premise the Government supports the provision of park - and - ride facilities at suitable railway stations or nearby locations to encourage motorists to take the trains after parking their vehicles thereby reducing the road traffic in congested areas
目前，全港有24個停車場提供泊車轉乘優惠， 其中9個由房屋署及港鐵公司管理，5個由私人公司管理，10個則由領展資產管理有限公司管理，提供合共約1萬個泊車位。
Currently there are 24 car parks providing park - and - ride concessions in Hong Kong 9 of them are managed by the Housing Department and MTRCL 5 are managed by private companies and 10 are managed by the Link Asset Management Limited providing a total of around 10 000 parking spaces
政府會繼續要求港鐵公司推廣其現有泊車轉乘設施，並研究在鄰近港鐵站的一些尚未提供泊車轉乘優惠的停車場提供轉乘優惠。
Also the Government will continue to request MTRCL to promote its existing park - and - ride facilities and look into the feasibility of providing park - and - ride concessions for more car parks near MTR stations which have not provided such concessions
儘管政府會在可行情況下增加泊車位供應，但我必須指出，持續增加泊車位數目以追趕汽車增長的步伐，並不是合理或可持續的做法。
Though the Government will increase the supply of parking spaces when the situation allows I must point out that it is neither reasonable nor sustainable to increase parking spaces continuously to catch up with the growth of vehicles
我們必須實施適當的交通管理措施，以控制路面上的車輛數目，而收取隧道費正是其中一項有效的交通管理措施。
Appropriate traffic management measures must be implemented to control the number of vehicles running on the road and the collection of tunnel tolls is one of the effective measures in traffic management
與此同時，在交通情況許可下，本屆政府會設法減輕市民、公共交通營辦商及運輸業界使用政府收費隧道和管制區的開支。
At the same time where traffic conditions permit the Government of the current term will seek to reduce the cost of using government tolled tunnels and Control Areas incurred by the public public transport operators and transport trades
