Can I just add one other point. I would be very happy to discuss that issue of transport needs with the parents of the severely mentally-handicapped when I see them.
Dr C H Leong: Thank you Mr President. Governor, I would like to turn to the issue of drug abuse. Now, I am embarrassed to say that there are a few members, and luckily only a few members, of my constituency who are black sheep and who have actually been engaging in selling soft drugs. In short, they are really drug peddlers. But unfortunately, current laws in Hong Kong are such that it is very difficult and actually rather impossible to incriminate them as such, so that at the end of the day the Medical Council which controls us has to charge them on the lesser charge, such as keeping improper records. Yes, the Medical Council still imposes a heavy penalty on them, such as deregistering them from practising medicine for a period of time, a long period of time, but unfortunately, when they go to the high Court of Appeal, because of the lesser charge or the lesser incrimination the whole thing could well be squashed and this has been an example. The end result is that it not only makes a mockery out of the Medical Council but it also allows the 'big fish' as it were, to slip out of the net and puts the whole profession in a bit of a problem. I wonder what Government can do and what is Government doing towards this direction? I do understand this particular area was not brought up in its entirety at the Drug Summit recently.
Governor: No, it wasn't. We discussed related issues, for example the number of inspections which the Health Department is able to make in order to try to ensure that there isn't abuse, but this particular issue wasn't, I think, explored in any depth. We are in the process of trawling through all the individual proposals that were made at that summit and we are intending to do that by sort of mid-summer, by the end of June, and we will certainly look at that proposal as well because the Honourable Member is right, if a serious offence is being committed but there is only a small penalty available for it, then that is rightly a matter of concern to the community and the enforcement of rigorous laws is one aspect, though only one aspect, of our Campaign Against Drug Abuse.
Dr Conrad Lam (through interpreter): Mr President, I would like to say a few words on the civil service transition. I would like to make some comments and then I would like to ask some questions of the Governor. Mr Governor, now, in the public gallery there was some disturbance a moment ago. To a certain extent that reflected the difficulties encountered by civil servants. Now why do I say this? For certain policies. their present boss may tell the civil servants to do things in a certain way but their future boss may say otherwise and then these civil servants may have to change the way they present certain policies. So, let me go back to my central point. Now for the public in general, with regard to wastage of experienced civil servants the public are concerned about that. So my question to the Governor is: now, you have come to Hong Kong for a number of years and in concrete terms what have you done to raise the morale of the civil service, particularly I am referring to the transition of Policy Secretaries, whether they can straddle 1997? Do you encounter any difficulties? If there are difficulties, in what way can you overcome these difficulties?
