Policy Address

The Civil Service

191.         To maintain quality and efficient administration, the Government must rely on a professional, clean and dedicated civil service.  I wish to extend my gratitude to our civil servants for their commitment to serving the community with tenacity and passion.  I will continue to maintain close and candid communication with them, listen to their views and enhance our mutual understanding and mutual trust.  The Government will provide more training opportunities for civil servants.  We will encourage and provide subsidies for them to attend training courses and exchange programmes to deepen their understanding of national development.  In the coming year, the Government will proceed with the planning for a new Families Clinic and enhance specialised dental services for civil servants.  We will also expedite eight departmental quarters projects for disciplined services, aiming at providing more than 2 200 flats by 2020.
