Supporting Measure

73.     We understand that elderly care is not just about funding.  We need to tackle the shortage of land and manpower.  Apart from reserving space for welfare service units in new development and redevelopment projects, we will actively identify designated sites for residential care homes.  We will also take into account the requirements of the social welfare sector in the overall manpower planning of medical and healthcare professionals.

Strengthening Healthcare Services

74.     To cope with demographic changes and the needs of elderly people, the Government will allocate additional funds to enhance public healthcare services such as cataract removal, haemodialysis, joint replacement and mental health services.  Strengthening primary care services aside, we will improve long-term care services for frail elderly people.
