Policy Address

Institutional Care

66.         The Government will continue to increase the supply of subsidised residential care places for the elderly through a multi-pronged approach that includes, among others, the Special Scheme on Privately Owned Sites for Welfare Uses.  We will allocate additional resources to extend the continuum of care to subsidised nursing home places.

67.         The Government will purchase residential care places from an elderly home run by a Hong Kong non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Shenzhen to provide an option for the elderly on the Central Waiting List for subsidised residential care places.  The SWD will invite eligible elderly people to apply for those places in the second quarter of this year and make move-in arrangements in the third quarter.  We are also discussing similar arrangements with another elderly home in Zhaoqing run by a Hong Kong NGO.  The scheme will be reviewed two years after implementation.
