HONG KONG TUBERCULOSIS, CHEST AND HEART DISEASES ASSOCIATION INCORPORATION (AMENDMENT) BILL 1988
DR. CHIU moved the Second Reading of: 'A Bill to amend the Hong Kong Tuberculosis, Chest and Heart Diseases Association Incorporation Ordinance'.
He said:
Sir
I move that the Hong Kong Tuberculosis, Chest and Heart Diseases Association Incorporation (Amendment) Bill 1988 be read a second time.
The Hong Kong Tuberculosis, Chest and Heart Diseases Association was incorporated by Ordinance in 1948 with the main purpose of combating tuberculosis in Hong Kong. In 1980, when tuberculosis was under control, the Ordinance was amended to
enable the Association to extend its activities to cover all
diseases of the chest and heart.
Today, the Association, in order to meet the demands of a changing society and to serve the community better, has decided to extend its activities to a wider spectrum of medical services. The services it plans to embrace include rehabilitation and convalescent services as well as medical
treatment for patients in general, surgical and geriatrical
institutions. In keeping with its long-term development plan,
the Association is also preparing to build up and maintain its international linkage and to extend its activities to overseas
countries.
In order to enable the Association to extend its services, it is necessary for the Ordinance to be amended. The effect of this bill, if enacted, will be to amend section 4 to widen the scope of the Association's statutory objects to include the activities which I have just described.
