     The spokesman said, "As the case is under legal proceedings, it is inappropriate for us to comment. We are deeply saddened by the circumstances of the girl in this case. The clinical team of the Hospital Authority (HA) will continue to provide optimal treatment to the girl and maintain close liaison with her family to provide timely support.
