Reform will boost transparency

June 28, 2016

The objective of the Medical Council reform is to enhance transparency, Secretary for Food & Health Dr Ko Wing-man says, adding the Government has no intention to change the licensing examination requirement for non-Hong Kong medical graduates.

 

Dr Ko told reporters today the Government will not bring substandard medical practitioners to Hong Kong.

 

More than 900 complaint cases are awaiting the Medical Council's attention and the only way to improve the efficiency of its complaint handling is through the reform, he added.

 

He said he is concerned there are misconceptions among some members of the medical profession on the reform's objectives and the result it will bring.

 

On the shortage of public columbarium niches, Dr Ko said the situation will improve in 2018 when new projects are completed.
