The Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam, continued to hold consultation sessions for the 2020 Policy Address. She met with representatives of civil servant organisations today (August 27) to listen to their views on the upcoming Policy Address. The session was attended by the Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Matthew Cheung Kin-chung, and the Secretary for the Civil Service, Mr Patrick Nip, as well as more than 10 representatives from the civil service central consultative councils and major service-wide staff unions.
Expressing her gratitude to civil servant colleagues for standing fast at their posts and shouldering extra work in the course of the fight against COVID-19 in Hong Kong, Mrs Lam said civil servants also responded proactively to the soon-to-be-launched Universal Community Testing Programme, and that their commitment to serving the public and their professionalism is admirable. She said the fight against the disease is a long-lasting battle and that she hopes to overcome the virus together with civil servant colleagues to provide the best services to members of the public.
Mrs Lam will hold other theme-based Policy Address consultation sessions in the month ahead. Apart from the one today, the rest of the sessions will be conducted via video conferencing.
