(The Clerk, after doing a head count, indicated that a quorum was present) TABLING OF PAPERS The following papers were laid on the table pursuant to Rule 21(2) of the Rules of Procedure: Subsidiary Legislation/Instruments L.N.

MS LI FUNG-YING (in Chinese): President, some workers have relayed to me that the diagnoses, made by the occupational health clinics under the Labour Department (LD), on whether an employee is suffering from an occupational disease under the Employees' Compensation Ordinance (Cap. 282), were often different from the diagnoses made by registered medical practitioners in public hospitals or private clinics. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council whether: (a) currently there is any mechanism for employees to learn about the criteria, principles and procedure adopted and the time required for occupational health clinics to diagnose occupational diseases; (b) it will consider setting up a more systematic mechanism for the diagnosis of occupational diseases by making reference to the Measures for Administration of Diagnosis and Confirmation of Occupational Diseases promulgated by the Ministry of Health of the Mainland; and LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 29 October 2008 439 (c) it will consider setting up a mechanism other than the Court to deal with appeals instituted by employees or employers against the diagnoses made by occupational health clinics; if it will, of the details; if not, the reasons for that? SECRETARY FOR LABOUR AND WELFARE (in Chinese): President, there are altogether 52 occupational diseases prescribed under the Occupational Deafness (Compensation) Ordinance (ODCO) (Cap. 469), the Pneumoconiosis and Mesothelioma (Compensation) Ordinance (PMCO) (Cap. 360) and the Employees' Compensation Ordinance (ECO) (Cap. 282). These three pieces of legislation provide for different procedures for confirming occupational deafness, pneumoconiosis (including silicosis and asbestosis) and mesothelioma, and other 48 occupational diseases respectively: (a) under the ODCO, the Occupational Deafness Compensation Board (ODCB) and its Medical Committee are responsible for processing and determining applications, including determining whether the claimant has suffered from occupational deafness as prescribed in the Ordinance. A doctor from the Occupational Health Service (OHS) of the LD is a member of the ODCB, and members of its Medical Committee include specialists in Otorhinolaryngology and Occupational Medicine, and an audiologist; (b) under the PMCO, the Pneumoconiosis Medical Board (PMB) is responsible for determining whether the claimant has suffered from pneumoconiosis and mesothelioma. The PMB consists of three members and one of them is a doctor from the OHS of the LD; (c) if claimants are dissatisfied with the determination, they may request the ODCB or PMB for a review of that determination. In any case, if they are dissatisfied with the result of the review, they may appeal to the Court; and (d) as to the 48 occupational diseases prescribed in the Second Schedule of the ECO, the LD is responsible for processing such claims. Where there is any dispute between the employer and employee as to whether the disease that the latter is suffering from is a prescribed 440 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 29 October 2008 occupational disease under the ECO, the LD will, with the consent of the employee, collect relevant information and medical reports on the case and seek the professional advice of the doctors from the OHS of the LD, and will then give the medical opinion to both parties. If the dispute could not be resolved through the assistance of the department, the aggrieved party may resort to the Court for a judgment. Apart from providing treatment to employees who suspect their diseases to be work-related, doctors in the two occupational health clinics of the LD will diagnose whether the patients have suffered from occupational diseases prescribed in the ECO. I will now reply to the three parts of the question as follows: (a) During the initial and follow-up consultations, doctors in the occupational health clinics will take a comprehensive medical and occupational history from the patients, conduct physical examinations for them and arrange for relevant laboratory tests. The doctors may also, depending on the circumstances and wish of the patients, arrange for inspections to the patients' workplaces together with the LD's occupational hygienists to identify the existence or otherwise of hazards in the working environment relating to the diseases. Through comprehensive analysis of such information, the doctors can diagnose whether the patients have suffered from prescribed occupational diseases under the ECO. During the consultations, the doctors will, having regard to the circumstances of individual patients, explain to them their clinical presentation, diagnostic procedures and expected time, results of examinations and laboratory tests, findings of workplace inspections, as well as diagnoses and treatment plans, and so on. If the patients raise objection to the results after the diagnoses have been made, the doctors will review the cases.
