Secretary for District Administration:- Where they were handled by
professional staff and this does no longer require the professional
input, this has been handled by the CNTA staff. Where certain
organisations require professional input as I mentioned in my reply,
such professional input can be obtained from the social welfare
centres nearby or framvoluntary agencies.
Mr. Hui Yin-fat:- Sir, I am asking more or less the same question
but this is that the voluntary agencies nearby had been over-
subscribed due to this temporary suspension. I was wondering whe ther
the Government could inform this Council whether there are any
substitute or replacement services to help the agencies which are
now over subscribed?
Secretary for District Administration:- Sir, the transfer of
responsibilities for these community centres is a very recently affair;
they are only transferred in June. This obviously necessitates some
adjustments to be made. Where the need arises, this will certainly
be looked into in the future.
