Hospital Authority fully supports Legislative Council General Election to build a better future for Hong Kong
The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority:
The Hospital Authority (HA) Chairman, Mr Henry Fan, and the HA Chief Executive, Dr Libby Lee, attended the 2025 Legislative Council (LegCo) General Election Kick-off Ceremony today (October 23). The HA fully supports the LegCo General Election to be held on December 7 and will actively call on all staff to vote, electing a new term of LegCo Members to jointly build a better future for Hong Kong.
Mr Fan said, "Hong Kong is advancing from stability to prosperity. Over the past four years, the LegCo has restored rationality. The executive and legislative branches, adhering to the principles of an executive-led system and 'patriots administering Hong Kong', have effectively engaged in positive interaction. The high quality and efficiency of legislative deliberations are evident for all to see. I urge everyone to cast their ballots on December 7 to elect LegCo Members with patriotism and affection for our country and Hong Kong, governing capability and passion for service, jointly promoting good governance and forging ahead."
The HA will leverage various platforms to encourage all staff to vote on election day. Also, the HA will assist candidates from different constituencies in reaching voters working in public hospitals in a fair and just manner, so that voters can better understand the manifestoes of different candidates and make the most prudent choice.
Dr Lee said, "Although many healthcare staff will be on shift duty on polling day, the HA will encourage colleagues to vote. If colleagues' work schedules conflict with voting hours, the HA will implement flexible arrangements by temporarily releasing colleagues to fulfil their civic responsibility, without affecting patient services."
The HA has always maintained a good co-operative relationship with the LegCo. Both Mr Fan and Dr Lee are looking forward to engaging and collaborating with all Members as soon as possible after the new LegCo term is formed. They also call on all voters to cast their votes on December 7 to elect the eighth LegCo Members who arecompetent, visionary, dedicated, and pragmatic, tojointly promote Hong Kong's development for the benefit of its citizens.
