SFH on minor works projects for public hospitals

Following is the transcript of remarks made by the Secretary for Food and Health, Dr Ko Wing-man, after visiting Wan Chai District this afternoon (October 2):

Reporter: The allocation is quite a large amount. Would you at the same time also ensure the public hospitals will improve their service to the public?

Secretary for Food and Health: In my recent round of visits to the seven clusters of public hospitals, one thing is very obvious. Because of the heavy usage and the high patient flow in our public hospitals, the (hospital) facilities are easily worn down. Therefore, there is a need for the Hospital Authority to undertake a larger-scale minor works renovation project for the whole public hospital system.
