至於長者醫療服務，在長者健康中心方面，現時衞生署轄下的長者健康中心為年滿65歲或以上的長者提供跨專業的綜合基層健康服 務，包括健康評估、輔導、健康教育和治療。
On the provision of elderly health care services the Elderly Health Centres EHCs under HA adopt a multidisciplinary approach in providing integrated primary health care services including health assessment counselling health education and treatment to elderly people aged 65 or above
其中4間長者健康中心開展先導計劃與非政府機構合作，通過外展服務發現"難以接觸到的"長者，特別是社交網絡狹小並缺乏定期醫療護理的長者，並轉介至長者健康中心，優先為他們提供服務。
Four of EHCs have also implemented a pilot scheme to collaborate with non - governmental organizations NGOs to reach out to and identify hard - to - reach elders in particular those with poor social network and no regular medical care . Priority will then be given to elders referred by the collaborating NGOs to receive services at EHCs
視乎所得經驗，衞生署會分階段推展服務至其他中心，並逐步調整策略方針，以優先服務這些更有需要照顧的長者為目標。
Subject to the experience from the pilot scheme HA may roll out this collaborative model to other EHCs in phases and may gradually shift the strategic direction of EHCs to the objective of according priority to elders who are more in need of the care services
政府早於2009年已經推出長者醫療券計劃，協助長者選擇切合他們需要的私營醫療服務。
The Government launched the Elderly Health Care Voucher Scheme as early as in 2009 to enable the elderly people to choose private health care services that best suit their needs
歷年來，政府就長者醫療券作出優化：將金額由每年250元增加至2,000元；將每張醫療券的面值由50元調低至1元，方便使用；並在去年將長者醫療券計劃的合資格年齡由70歲降低至65歲。
Numerous enhancement measures have been introduced to the EHV Scheme over years which include increasing the annual voucher amount from the initial sum of 250 to 2,000 adjusting downward the face value of each voucher from 50 to 1 to make it more convenient for the elders to use the vouchers and lowering the eligibility age for the EHV Scheme from 70 to 65
此外，政府將會在今年6月8日按照財政預算案推出措施，把長者醫療券的累積上限由4,000元調高至5,000元，並向每位合資格長者提供屬一次性質的額外1,000元醫療券金額，估計涉及額外撥款約7億9,600萬元，預計會有超過120萬名合資格長者受惠。
As the health care initiatives in the Budget the Government will increase the accumulation limit of the vouchers from 4,000 to 5,000 in 8 June while an one - off additional 1,000 worth of EHVs will also be provided . The measures which are estimated to incur an additional funding of 796 million will benefit about 1.2 million eligible elderly people
在考慮進一步優化長者醫療券計劃的建議時，我們須詳細評估其長遠的財政影響。
In considering proposals for the further enhancement of the EHV Scheme we will have to examine the long - term financial implication in detail . The Government has attached great importance to the monitoring of the EHV Scheme
衞生署會對已登記的醫療服務提供者作出例行查核，亦會監察使用長者醫療券的交易異常情況。
Apart from routine inspections of registered medical service providers DH will also conduct monitoring and surveillance to detect aberrant patterns of EHV transactions
至於長者聽力治療，醫管局現時共有23名聽力學家，因應耳鼻喉科醫生的診斷和病人的需要，提供適時的聽力測試和治療服務。
On the audiological treatment services for the elderly people HA is currently employing 23 audiologists to provide timely hearing tests and treatment according to the diagnosis made by the ear nose and throat specialists and the needs of patients

多位議員提到公營牙科服務的需求。
A number of Members have mentioned the demand for public dental services
在牙科護理的範疇，政府投放資源於宣傳、教育和預防工作上，提高市民對口腔衞生的認識並鼓勵養成正確的口腔衞生習慣以預防牙患。
In the area of dental care the Government seeks to raise public awareness of oral hygiene and encourage proper oral health habits for the purpose of preventing dental diseases through allocating resources on promotion education and prevention efforts
在有限的公共資源下，政府需要集中為公眾提供緊急牙科服務，以及照顧一些有特別需要的人士，包括低收入及有特別需要的長者。
With limited public resources the Government has to focus on providing emergency dental services for the public and taking care of people with special needs including low - income elders with special needs to receive dental care support services

為確保不會有市民因經濟原因而得不到適當的醫療照顧，醫管局設有醫療費用減免機制。
To ensure that no one will be denied adequate medical care due to lack of means HA has put in place a medical fee waiver mechanism
現時，領取綜援的病人只需出示有效的醫療費用減免證明書，便可獲豁免公營醫療服務的收費。
At present patients receiving Comprehensive Social Security Assistance can be exempted from payment of fees for public health care services upon production of a valid medical fee waiver
自2017年7月15日起，醫療費用減免亦已擴展至75歲或以上及較有經濟需要的長者生活津貼受惠人士。
The medical fee waivers have also been extended to the Old Age Living Allowance recipients aged 75 or above with more financial needs with effect from 15 July 2017
至於其他人士，如果因經濟困難而未能負擔醫療服務費用，亦可向醫務社工申請醫療費用減免。
Other persons who cannot afford medical fees because of financial difficulties can make a fee waiver application to medical social workers

In considering the opportunities for introducing more PPP programmes HA will continue engaging the public and patient groups and work closely with relevant stakeholders to explore the feasibility of launching other PPP programmes
中醫藥發展是非常重要的，剛才葉劉淑儀議員亦敦促政府更重視中醫藥的發展。
The development of Chinese medicine is crucially important . Just now Mrs Regina IP has also urged the Government to attach greater importance to the development of Chinese medicine
為促進中醫藥以"循證醫學"為本的發展，以及為本地中醫藥學士學位課程畢業生提供實習培訓的機會，全港18區每區均開設了1間中醫教研中心。
To promote the development of evidence - based Chinese medicine and provide training placements for graduates of local undergraduate programmes in Chinese medicine a Chinese Medicine Centres for Training and Research CMCTR has been set up in each of the 18 districts
這些中醫教研中心由醫管局、非政府機構和本地設有中醫藥學士學位課程的大學，即香港浸會大學、香港中文 大學和香港大學，以三方夥伴協作的模式由非政府機構負責中心的日常運作及營運。

政府正積極發展香港首間中醫醫院。
The Government is actively developing the first Chinese medicine hospital in Hong Kong
在規劃中醫醫院的定位及發展方向時，政府會一併考慮中醫醫院與中醫教研中心的互動及協作，讓中醫教研中心的功能更好地發揮並支援中醫醫院的發展。
In planning the positioning and development direction of the Chinese medicine hospital the Government will consider the interaction and synergy between the Chinese medicine hospital and CMCTRs so as to optimize the functions of CMCTRs which in turn will provide better support for the development of the Chinese medicine hospital
在臨床服務範疇方面，擬議的中醫醫院除了為市民提供中醫和中西醫協作方面的住院服務外，亦會發展各種充分發揮中醫藥優勢的臨床服務。
In parallel with the provision of Chinese medicine and ICWM inpatient services the proposed Chinese medicine hospital will also develop and give full play to the edges of the Chinese medicine clinical services
至於醫護人手規劃，多位議員都非常關心，因為如果我們要積極推行基層醫療健康服務，並不斷強化我們的公營醫療體系，我們一定需要更多醫護人手。
A number of Members have expressed concern about the planning for health care manpower . It is necessary to increase the health care manpower to cope with the manpower needs arising from the proactive implementation of the primary health care services and the continued enhancement to the public health care system
鑒於市民對醫療服務的需求與日俱增，過去10年，政府已大幅增加大學教育資助委員會資助的醫療培訓學額，由約1,150個增至約1,800個，增幅約六成。
In view of the increasing demand for health care services the Government has substantially increased the number of University Grants Committee UGC - funded health care training places by about 60 % from about 1 150 to about 1 800 over the past 10 years

主席，我就議案中提及的主要議題作出扼要的回應，謹此陳辭。
President I have made a brief response to the major issues brought up in the motion . I so submit
我希望聆聽各位議員的發言，稍後會作適當的補充或回應。
I would like to add some points or make a response as appropriate after listening to Members speeches
研究顯示，相對於一個建基在專科治療服務的醫療系統，一個着重基層醫療的醫療系 統，能夠達到更好的健康效果，例如第一，減低可避免的死亡率；第二，改善護理的持續性；第三，讓人們可以更容易獲得醫療服務；第四，可以提高病人的滿意程度；第五，減少與健康相關的不平等現象；及第六，降低整體的醫療成本。
As some studies have indicated compared to a health care system which is based on specialist health care services a health care system which is based on primary health care can achieve better heath effect . For example first it can help decrease avoidable deaths; second it can improve continuity of care; third people can be more accessible to health care services; fourth patients can be more satisfying; fifth the phenomena of inequality related to health can be reduced; and sixth the overall health care costs can be reduced
但是，如果僅以效率作為醫療政策的考量，未免忽略了公共政策的目標其實是全民健康，而醫療政策只是實現全民健康的其中一項政策而已。
However if we only judge a health care policy simply by its efficiency we may overlook that the objective of public policies is health for all and health care policy is only one of the policies for realization of health for all
鄭泳舜議員剛才提到1978年通過的《阿拉木圖宣言》，其實宣言中的第一點便指出，健康不單是沒有疾病，而是身心健康社會幸福的整體狀態，屬基本人權，其實現是要求衞生部門及其他多種社會和經濟部門的行動；而第二點指出，人民的健康狀況，特別是國家內部現存的嚴重不平等，在政治上、社會上及經濟上均不能接受。
Mr Vincent CHENG just mentioned the Declaration of Alma - Ata endorsed in 1978 . In fact the first section of the Declaration points out that health which is a state of complete physical mental and social well - being and not merely the absence of disease is a fundamental human right and the realization requires the action of many other social and economic sectors in addition to the health sector . The second section says that the existing gross inequality in the health status of the people particularly within countries is politically socially and economically unacceptable
《阿拉木圖宣言》是確立基層醫療的國際宣言，值得注意的是宣言以社會整體角度、以人權及社會平等的角度來看健康。
The Declaration of Alma - Ata is an international declaration that establishes primary health care . What we need to pay attention is that the Declaration looks at health from the perspective of society as a whole and from the perspective of human rights and social equality
因此，沒有基本人權、沒有社會平等、沒有社會角度，根本便難以達到、實現社會整體的健康，我們也難以談論基層醫療的政策。
Hence without fundamental human rights social equality and social perspective it is basically difficult to attain and realize general health in society and also difficult for us to discuss the policy on primary health care
2013年，鄰近香港的臺灣舉行了全球健康論壇，學者共同發表名為"全球健康工程臺北宣言"，宣言重申群眾的健康會受到各個部門政策的影響，包括經濟、教育、國際貿易、交通運輸、社會福利、住屋等。
In 2013 Taiwan which is adjacent to Hong Kong held a Global Health Forum and the intellectuals jointly published a Taipei Declaration on Global Development of Health in All Policies . This Declaration reiterates that public health will be affected by various departments policies spanning from economic education international trading transportation social welfare and housing
該宣言認為不同的部門倡議對於健康有益的政策，既是改善健康的有效方法，亦對於增進人類整體發展有所貢獻。
According to that Declaration the proposal of policies beneficial to health by various departments is not only an effective way of improving health but is also making contributions to enhancing the overall development of mankind
一言以蔽之，便是health in all policies，所有政策均面向以健康為中心，其實health in all policies才是最全面的基層醫療政策。
In short it is health in all policies meaning that all policies are health oriented . In fact health in all policies is the most comprehensive policy on primary health care
它是個人、家庭及社區使用醫療制度的第一個接觸點，要位處於市民居住和就業的地方。
It is the first point of contact in the health care system for individuals families and communities and it has to be located in the residential and working areas of the public
在功能上，它要處理整體社區的健康衞生問題，並且提供健康推廣、疾病預防及治療，以及復康服務。
Functionally it has to deal with health problems of the overall community and has to provide health promotion disease prevention and treatment as well as rehabilitation services
要提供這些基層醫療，世界衞生組織強調要跨界別合作，以應付社區衞生的問題。
In order to provide these primary health care services the World Health Organization emphasizes handling the community health problem with cross - sector collaboration
在香港，正如很多議員已提到，公共基層醫療服務進度過於緩慢，發展基層醫療很多時候是"雷聲大，雨點小"。
In Hong Kong as already mentioned by many Members the progress of public primary health care services is too slow and it has been all thunder but no rain in the development of primary health care services
自2008年開始，醫院管理局好像推出了很多基層醫療的新措施，例如公私營協作措施、設立社區健康中心、推行病人自強服務等，平均每年的預算開支為5億6,000萬元，但總是"周身刀，無張利"。
Since 2008 HA seemed to have launched many new measures on primary health care such as public - private partnership measures setting up of community health centres and patient empowerment services and the average annual estimated expenditure is 560 million . But it is just Jack of all trades and master of none
根 據食物及衞生局的資料，在非住院護理醫療服務提供單位支出及在醫院支出的趨勢有所不同。
According to the Food and Health Bureaus information the trend for health expenditure at providers of ambulatory health care and at hospitals was diverse
在非住院護理醫療服務提供單位的支出佔醫療衞生經常性開支的比例越來越少，從1989-1990年度的42%下降至2014-2015年度的25%。
Spending at providers of ambulatory health care as a share of current health expenditure had decreased gradually from 42 % in 1989 - 1990 to 25 % in 2014 - 2015
另一方面，由於在醫院支出的增長比較快，令其佔醫療衞生的經常性開支在同期的比例，由34%上升至50%。
On the other hand the faster increase in spending at hospitals led to a rise in the hospital share of current health expenditure from 34 % to 50 % during the same period . Besides public health expenditure was mostly incurred at hospitals which accounted for 74 % of public current health expenditure in 2014 - 2015
此外，公共醫療衞生支出主要用於醫院上，在2014-2015年度佔公共醫療衞生經常性開支的74%，而私人醫療衞生支出主要用於非住院護理醫療服務提供單位，在2014-2015年度佔私人醫療衞生經常性支出的42%。
Whereas private health expenditure was mostly incurred at providers of ambulatory health care which accounted for 42 % of private current health expenditure in 2014 - 2015
香港自1990年代開始討論基層醫療，但從上述的數字反映，公共醫療資源卻是嚴重傾斜於醫院服務，忽略了非住院護理服務，而真正發展非住院服務的是私營機構。
There has been discussion on primary health care in Hong Kong since 1990s . However from the above figures we learn that public health care resources are seriously lopsided towards hospital services while ambulatory health care services are being overlooked and private institutions are actually the ones developing ambulatory health care services
現在私人市場提供大約七成的門診服務，服務時間由私人醫生決定，只有少數提供24小時服務及探訪服務。其餘三成的門診服務由公營普通科門診提供。
At present about 70 % of outpatient services are provided by private market with the service period decided by private doctors and only a small number of them provide round - the - clock services and visitation services while the remaining 30 % of outpatient services are provided by public general outpatient clinics
事實上，門診服務往往是現時市民首個醫療服務的接觸點，為市民提供一般的醫療資訊，而現時，不少基層醫療服務卻是"外判"予私人醫生和醫療機構，在缺乏統籌和協作下，令跨界別協作、以人為本、持續照顧這些基本的基層醫療元素均被忽略。
As a matter of fact outpatient services are usually the first point of contact in the health care system for the public who will be provided with some general health care information . But under the current practice not a few primary health care services are outsourced to private doctors and health care institutions . In the lack of coordination and collaboration the basic primary health care elements of cross - sector collaboration people orientation and continuum of care are all being neglected
主席，政府大力推行基層醫療，我當然舉腳贊成，但如果只是考慮到資源運用，希望增加醫療服務的效率，我則認為根本不能做好基層醫療。
President I of course fully support the vigorous development of primary health care by the Government . But if it wants to enhance the efficiency in health care services only by means of resource allocation I do not think that primary health care can be properly developed
我仍然未能看見政府在這方面的決心，畢竟在發展經濟的主旋律下，全民健康對政府而言根本是不重要的事。
I am still unable to see the Governments commitment in this aspect . After all under the major policy of economic development health for all is basically not important to the Government
在充斥社會不平等、不尊重基本人權的香港，可以想象基層醫療將會舉步維艱。
In Hong Kong which is flooded with social inequalities and where basic human rights are not respected we can imagine the difficulties in developing primary health care services
事實上，我未能看到在100萬人的貧窮、長工時、假期少、缺乏勞工保障，這種嚴重社會不平等的情況下，香港可以如何實踐有效的基層醫療服務。
In fact I am unable to see how Hong Kong can under the serious social inequality condition of having 1 million people living in poverty and employees suffering from long working hours few holidays and lack of labour protection put into practice effective primary health care services
當"打工仔"只有15分鐘的用膳時間時，我們如何談有食物營養？
When workers only have 15 minutes to have their meals how can we talk about food nutrition?
代理主席，首先，我想感謝胡志偉議員提出這項題為"發展基層醫療服務"的議案。
Deputy President first of all I want to thank Mr WU Chi - wai for moving this motion of Developing primary healthcare services
基層醫療在本地醫療系統中擔當關鍵的角色，其作為首個醫護接觸點亦能減輕醫院急症室服務的壓力，所以，我支持胡議員的議案。
Primary health care plays a crucial role in local health care system . As the first point of contact in the health care system it can also alleviate the pressure borne by accident and emergency AE services in hospitals . Therefore I support Mr WUs motion
但是，一個美中不足的地方是，議案沒有提及中醫藥對基層醫療可以作出的貢獻。
However there is a fly in the ointment . The motion has not mentioned the possible contributions of Chinese medicine to primary health care
