"Building from basic services which are affordable, accessible, available to all, we have made significant gains in health, housing and education and we continue to improve.
"So expect us to argue still more vigorously that in a globalised economy, the healthiest economies, those whose populations are most fully and most prosperously employed, will be those whose governments make no attempt to shelter firms from the reality of the global market place."

Registration of radiographers due to start
*
Following the approval by the Governor-in-Council of the Radiographers (Registration and Disciplinary Procedure) Regulation made under the Supplementary Medical Professions Ordinance, registration of members of the radiography profession will begin on July 1 this year.
The Regulation which will be published in the Gazette on Friday (March 3), prescribes the form of the register for radiographers, specifies the registration criteria, and provides for proceedings relating to the discipline of radiographers.
A spokesman for the Health and Welfare Branch said today (Tuesday) the Regulation had been drawn up after extensive consultation with the Radiographers Board and the Supplementary Medical Professions Council.
"It will provide better protection for the public by ensuring adequate standards in the practice of radiography," he added.
Under the Regulation, the register for radiographers is divided into four parts Parts I, II and III for full registration and Part IV for provisional registration. Each part is further divided into two categories: diagnostic and therapeutic.
