自由黨支持有關修訂，因為《人體器官移植條例》經修訂後，令透過配對及匯集捐贈而進行的器官移植可以安心進行，以釋除有關人士及醫護人員疑慮。
The Liberal Party supports the relevant amendment because the Governments amendments to the Human Organ Transplant Ordinance can set the peoples minds at rest for conducting the transplant of organs under paired or pooled donation arrangement thereby addressing the concerns of the relevant parties and health care workers
不過，我亦留意到，在法案委員會上，有委員曾質疑受益人在接受器官移植後，會否在多年後才向捐贈人饋贈，例如以樓宇相贈，他們會否因今次修訂而逃避法網呢？
However I also note that a member questioned in the meeting of the Bills Committee that in case a beneficiary present a gift such as a flat as a gift to the organ donor years after the transplant can heshe avoid the net of justice?
當局向法案委員會作出解釋，主要指出今次修訂只是訂明捐贈人在配對或匯集捐贈安排下給予同意此事本身，不會構成在受引誘的情況下給予同意。
The Administration explained to the Bills Committee that the objective of introducing the Bill was to provide that the donors consent given under the paired or pooled donation arrangement would not in itself constitute an offer of inducement
換言之，若後來發現當中涉及金錢交易，也不會因今次修訂而可以完全逃避指控，但卻要舉證有關金錢交易與器官捐贈一事有關。
In other words if any pecuniary transaction is subsequently found the parties involved could not get away from the long arm of the law simply because of the amendment this time around . However the prosecution should provide evidence to prove that pecuniary transaction was involved in the organ donation
無可否認，該位委員提出的例子只是假設性情況，但也不可以說不會發生。
It is undeniable that the members example is just a hypothesis but it does not mean that it would not happen
因此，當局應該及早向市民解釋清楚有關法例，避免有人有所誤會，而作出不當行為。
For that reason the Administration should explain clearly the relevant legislation to the public as soon as practicable so as to prevent people from committing any wrongdoing due to the misunderstanding of the relevant legislation
代理主席，綜觀來看，香港有嚴謹法例，使我們無須擔心香港會出現器官買賣的問題。
Deputy President on the macro level we need not worry about the problem of organ trading since Hong Kong has put stringent laws in place
再者，香港每年的活體器官捐贈數字不多，以腎臟及肝臟為例，一年只有約50宗。
Moreover the number of Hong Kongs living organ donation is on the low side . Let us take kidney and liver transplants as an example only about 50 cases per year of kidney or liver transplants took place in Hong Kong
至於無血親關係的活體移植數字則更加少，每年批准的數字只有約20宗。
The living organ transplants among people who are not genetically related are even fewer only about 20 cases are approved on a yearly basis
此外，香港對於無血親關係的活體移植已設有監管制度，需要由人體器官移植委員會批准，這足以大大減低商業交易的可能性。
Moreover as Hong Kong has put in place a regulatory system that all living organ transplants among people who are not genetically related should be approved by the Human Organ Transplant Board it is adequate to curtail the possibility of commercial organ trading in Hong Kong
反而，香港遺體器官數字仍然偏低，是更加值得我們關注的。
On the contrary Hong Kongs cadaveric organ donation rate is on the low side which warrants more attention
正因為情況使人擔憂，有人建議應為死者器官捐贈設立預設默許制度。
Just because the situation is worrying some people suggest that a opt - out system should be put in place for cadaveric donation
然而，自由黨認為香港社會看重個人意願，對於這項建議仍然有所保留。
Nevertheless the Liberal Party considers that as Hong Kong regards personal preference very important we have reservations in this proposal
因此，自由黨認為，當局更應該想辦法或增加資源，打破社會的忌諱，積極呼籲市民支持遺體器官捐贈。
For that reason the Liberal Party considers that the Administration should try to increase the resources and break social taboos by actively urging the public to support cadaveric donation
畢竟，活體器官移植手術對於捐贈者仍有一定風險，我們應以遺體器官捐贈，鼓勵遺愛人間，作為器官移植重點方向，這才是正確的。
After all the transplanting of human organs between living persons will pose certain risk to the living donors thus we should encourage cadaveric donation so that the deceased may spread their love among the living and make it the focus of organ transplant policy
代理主席，我明白這項《條例草案》的主題並非討論醫生人手不足的問題，但自瑪麗醫院爆出有負責醫生在換肝手術中途離開，因醫生人手不足而要病人在開腹後等醫生回來，令大家更加意識到香港醫生不足問題的嚴重性。
We consider that the right direction . Deputy President I understand the topic of the Bill has nothing to do with the shortage of doctors but since the media exposed that a liver transplant patient was left lying on the operating table with abdomen cut open after the surgeon suddenly left Queen Mary Hospital for another appointment thus the patient had to wait for hours until the surgeon returned due to the shortage problem of doctors the public started to realize the serious shortage problem of doctors in Hong Kong
我亦希望藉此機會呼籲當局正視有關問題。
I also hope to take this opportunity to urge the Administration to face the relevant issue squarely
既然培訓需時，要在短期內有足夠的專科人手並不容易，大家便應該放下利益之爭，盡快在不影響本地醫療水平的前提下，從海外輸入有關醫生專才，以紓緩人手短缺的問題。
Since training takes time and it is very difficult to recruit adequate health care professionals every one of us should set aside our differences of our own interests and bring in overseas doctors and medical professionals as soon as practical in order to alleviate the manpower shortage problem on the premise of not affecting the level of our local health care quality
其中一個辦法，也是自由黨近年不斷鼓吹的建議，就是仿效新加坡等地的做法，准許國外來自著名大學醫學院的人才到公立醫院服務，這將有助鼓勵於海外修讀醫科的港人子女回流，以解燃眉之急。
As the Liberal Party has been advocating in recent year that one of the solutions is to follow the examples of Singapore and other places in permitting talents graduated from renown overseas universities to work in public hospitals . That will help us to encourage children of Hong Kong people who have studied medicine to return to Hong Kong and to deal with our pressing problem

有委員認為，自整筆撥款津助制度推行以來，許多接受整筆撥款津助的非政府機構的服務質素下降，提供服務的人手縮減，公眾問責表現未有改善。
Some members took the view that since the implementation of the Lump Sum Grant Subvention System LSGSS service quality of many non - governmental organizations NGOs receiving subvention under LSGSS had deteriorated manpower resources allocated to service delivery had shrunk and public accountability of NGOs had not been improved
部分機構亦濫用資源調配的靈活性，導致高層與基層員工的薪酬水平出現巨大差距，員工流失率高企。
Some NGOs had also abused the flexibility in resource deployment resulting in a great disparity in the pay levels between staff at the top and bottom tiers and high staff turnover
這些委員認為，這些機構應為員工提供合理薪酬，以及令員工向上流動的有利環境。
Some members opined that these NGOs should offer the staff with reasonable remuneration and foster an environment for staffs upward mobility
委員得悉，社會福利署已成立"優化整筆撥款津助制度檢討專責小組"，有委員要求該小組的檢討範圍，應包括取消該制度的可能性，而該小組亦應相應改名。
Members learned that the Social Welfare Department had already set up the Task Force for Review on Enhancement of Lump Sum Grant Subvention System Task Force . Some members requested that the scope of review of the Task Force should include the possibility of abolition of LSGSS and the name of the Task Force should be revised accordingly
委員關注到，當局已多年沒有檢討綜合社會保障援助計劃。
Members were concerned that the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance CSSA Scheme had not been reviewed by the Administration for many years and considered that there was a number of problems in the Scheme
他們認為該計劃問題叢生，例如綜援金額不足以應付基本生活需要，以及申領長者綜援的合資格年齡，將由60歲調高至65歲。
For example the CSSA payment rates were insufficient to meet basic needs and the eligible age for elderly CSSA would be raised from 60 to 65
委員因而要求當局全面檢討綜援計劃，更特別要求當局確保綜援計劃的租金津貼水平，足夠支付九成私人樓宇綜援戶的實際租金，以及即時撤銷上述年齡調整安排。
The Administration was therefore requested to conduct a comprehensive review of the CSSA Scheme . Specifically the Administration was requested to ensure that the level of the rent allowance under the CSSA Scheme could cover the actual rent paid by 90 % of CSSA households living in private housing and to immediately remove the age adjustment arrangement
委員亦曾討論安老服務計劃方案。

委員察悉，康復諮詢委員會將成立一個檢討工作小組，負責制訂新的"香港康復計劃方案"。有委員要求當局，考慮委任立法會議員及不同背景的服務使用者加入該小組，以及將上述方案改名為"殘疾事務方案"或"殘疾事務政策及規劃"。
Noting that a Review Working Group would be established under the Rehabilitation Advisory Committee to take forward the task of formulating the new Hong Kong Rehabilitation Programme Plan RPP some members asked the Administration to consider appointing Legislative Council Members and service users with different background to the Review Working Group and consider renaming RPP as Plan on issues relating to disabilities or Policies and planning for issues relating to disabilities

委員呼籲政府當局做好把關工作，致力在保護環境和控制成本之間取得平衡，以及密切監察電費的增長及加強推廣節能措施。
