The Chairlady welcomed Dr LUK Che-chung, Chief Executive of Hong Kong West Cluster (HKWC) and Ms Mabel KWONG, Public and Community Relations Officer of the Hospital Authority (HA) to the meeting. 17. Dr LUK Che-chung, with the aid of PowerPoint presentation, briefed Members on the Hong Kong West Cluster Annual Plan 2018/19. He specifically pointed out that the total number of patients from the Southern and the Central & Western districts accounted for about 60% of the overall service targets in the HKWC. Since certain medical facilities were exclusive to the HKWC, such as the provision of adult bone marrow transplant, liver transplant and heart transplant, the proportion of cross-district patients using services provided in the HKWC was higher than other hospital clusters. Yet, the HKWC would continue to prioritise its services according to the clinical conditions of the patients. HKWC would strive to improve service quality, optimise demand management and enhance staff training and development in face of the future challenges. Furthermore, as the redevelopment projects of Queen 6 Mary Hospital (QMH) and Grantham Hospital (GH) were underway, additional recruitment would be conducted in parallel in 2018/19 to enhance the service quality. 18. Mr AU Lap-sing, MH, Mr TSUI Yuen-wa, Dr CHU Ching-hong, BBS, JP, Mrs CHAN LEE Pui-ying, Mr LO Kin-hei, Mr Paul ZIMMERMAN, Mr CHAI Man- hon, Mr LAM Kai-fai, MH, Ms CHEUNG Sik-yung, MH and Dr MAK TSE How-ling, MH raised the following comments and enquiries: (a) A Member reflected that some patients who were found to have some other diseases during their follow-up consultations at the Specialist Out-patient Clinic (SOPC) were required to make new appointments but the cases might be handled by the same doctors. In this regard, the Member requested streamlining the hospital procedure so as to save elderly the trouble of making multiple trips to the hospital and alleviate the burden on the hospital staff; (b) A Member said that in anticipation of the re-opening of Shum Wan Laundry, he would like to know whether QMH had selected the outsourced contractor and would like to communicate with the contractor as early as possible.

  • 2. Project Description
    Consultancy Agreement No. NEX/2301 South Island Line (East) Environmental Impact Assessment 2. Project Description 2.1 Project Background The South Island Line (SIL) was originally proposed as part of the Second Railway Development Study (RDS-2) completed in May 2000 as an extension to the existing railway network to serve the Southern District of Hong Kong. In June 2002, MTRCL submitted a preliminary proposal for a medium-capacity SIL, which involved a monorail system looping from University Station of the planned West Island Line (WIL) to the southern part of Hong Kong Island and back to Wanchai Station of the existing Island Line (ISL). The study identified that SIL would not be commercially viable without Government’s funding support. Subsequently, MTRCL further developed the proposed SIL as part of a Feasibility Study (FS) entitled “West Island Line and South Island Line Feasibility Study” which was completed in March 2004. After an evaluation of various alternative options, the FS recommended the implementation of the proposed SIL(E) from South Horizons to Admiralty, via intermediate stations at Lei Tung, Wong Chuk Hang and Ocean Park, for serving the Southern District and provision of a necessary depot at Wong Chuk Hang to support the operation of SIL, amongst other recommendations related to WIL. The FS also evaluated the feasibility of providing additional intermediate stations at Happy Valley and Wanchai. In February 2005, MTRCL submitted a project proposal to the Government for phased implementation of the SIL and WIL. In December 2007, the Executive Council gave the green light for MTRCL to proceed with preliminary planning and design of the SIL(E), which will be a medium capacity railway line running from Admiralty to South Horizons, with three intermediate stations at Ocean Park, Wong Chuk Hang and Lei Tung.

    EXPERIMENTAL SITE WIND AVAILABILITY STUDY FOR WONG CHUK HANG, HONG KONG INVESTIGATION REPORT WWTF007-2010 February 2010 Submitted to Department of Architecture, The Chinese University of Hong Kong 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At the request of the Department of Architecture, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, on behalf of Planning Department of The Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, a study of wind availability and characteristics for a nominated Study Area in Wong Chuk Hang was conducted by the CLP Power Wind/Wave Tunnel Facility (WWTF) at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, as part of the “Urban Climate Map and Standards for Wind Environment – Feasibility Study”. The study was undertaken in accordance with the requirements stipulated in the Australasian Wind Engineering Society Quality Assurance Manual, AWES-QAM-1-2001 (2001) and the American Society of Civil Engineers Manual and Report on Engineering Practice No. 67 for Wind Tunnel Studies of Buildings and Structures (1999). The study was also conducted in accordance with the recommendations of Planning Department’s Feasibility Study for Establishment of Air Ventilation Assessment System – Final Report (2005) and Technical Guide for Air Ventilation Assessment for Developments in Hong Kong (2006). A 1:2000 scale topography study was undertaken to determine the effects of local topography and the surrounding urban environment on mean wind direction, mean wind speed and turbulence intensity at a nominated Study Area in Wong Chuk Hang. A miniature dynamic pressure (Cobra) probe was used to take measurements of the longitudinal, lateral and vertical directions components of wind speed, at 22.5° increments for the full 360° azimuth, i.e.

  • 2013 Policy Address Policy Initiatives of Development Bureau
    CB(1)428/12-13(03) LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL ON DEVELOPMENT 2013 Policy Address Policy Initiatives of Development Bureau INTRODUCTION The Chief Executive (CE) delivered his 2013 Policy Address on 16 January 2013. This paper elaborates on the policy initiatives of the Development Bureau (DEVB). OUR VISION 2. Our vision is to ensure adequate land supply and to build up a “land reserve” so as to meet future demands in a timely manner and improve people’s living space. It is also our vision to continue to invest in and manage infrastructure development to facilitate economic and sustainable development of Hong Kong. 3. We aim to create a safe and quality city through formulating and implementing policies in the areas of heritage conservation, greening, tree management and total water management; implementing measures in landslip prevention, flood prevention, and lifts and escalators safety; implementing a multi-pronged approach to enhance building safety; as well as expediting urban renewal to improve the built environment and achieve better utilisation of land resources to meet various development needs. NEW INITIATIVES (1) LAND SUPPLY (a) Increasing Supply of Housing Land in Short to Medium Term (i) Increasing Development Density and Streamlining Land Administration - 2 - 4. Increasing the development density of residential sites is a feasible way to enhance flat production. We are working closely with the Planning Department (PlanD) and other departments to increase the development density of unleased or unallocated residential sites as far as allowable in planning terms. Similar applications from private residential developments for approval of higher development density will also be positively considered.

  • Follow-Up to Meeting on 5 May 2021
    LC Paper No. ESC56/20-21(01) Legislative Council Establishment Subcommittee Follow-up Action to the Establishment Subcommittee Meeting on 5 May 2021 At the Establishment Subcommittee (ESC) meeting on 5.5.2021, the Development Bureau was requested to provide supplementary information on the work plan and targets as well as key performance indicators of the Invigorating Island South Office (IISO) in the coming three years, before the discussion of the Finance Committee on the proposed creation of a non-civil service (NCS) position to lead IISO to co-ordinate with other relevant bureaux/departments (B/Ds) to take forward projects and measures under the Invigorating Island South (IIS) initiative. As explained at the ESC meeting, ahead of the creation of the said NCS post, IISO already commenced operation in February 2021, and has been actively consulting stakeholders within and outside the Government, with a view to producing a draft Conceptual Master Plan (CMP). The CMP, when finalized, will set out the core ideas and proposals under the IIS initiative, and will serve as the indicators against which to measure the performance of IISO. The key ideas and proposals being considered by IISO since its establishment, which will be incorporated where appropriate into the CMP, and the tentative work plan are summarised at Annex. It is expected that more ideas would emerge in the course of the interactions between IISO and stakeholders. When the Head of IISO is in post, he or she will, as a matter of priority, finalize the CMP and draw up a detailed work plan for implementation of the various proposals.
