New welfare advisory committee members appointed
The Government has gazetted today (Friday) the appointment of three new members and re-appointment of five incumbent members to serve on the Social Welfare Advisory Committee (SWAC) for a period of two years with effect from December 1.
The three new members are Ms Virginia Chan Choi-ying, Mr Moses Cheng Mo-chi and Dr Law Chi-kwong.
The five incumbent members who have been re-appointed are Dr Philemon Choi Yuen-wan, Mr Michael Lai Kam-cheung, Mr Lam Hoi-ham, Mr Ng Shui-lai and Dr Owen Wong Hong-hin.
The appointments were made strictly on an ad personam basis. The three new members had been chosen because they all had valuable contributions to make in their own right. They were not appointed to represent the views of any party or organisation of which they might be a member.
The main functions of the Committee are to keep social welfare services under continuous review; and to advise the Government on all matters of social welfare policy.
