Merits payments to Hospital Authority senior staff
Following is a question by the Ilon Chan Wing-chan and a reply by the Secretary for Health and Welfare, Mrs Katherine Fok, in the Legislative Council (Wednesday):
Question:
Will the Government inform this Council:
(a) whether merit payments are granted to senior executives of the Hospital Authority; if so, what are the criteria for granting such payments, which types of executives are eligible for receiving such payments, and what is the basis for determining the amount granted; and
(b) of the annual amount appropriated for such payments by the Hospital Authority over the past three years?
Reply:
Mr President,
The Chief Executive and Hospital Chief Executives are senior executives of the Hospital Authority whose remuneration contains a performance related element. Such payments are determined by assessment panels set up to evaluate the overall performance of individual executives in discharging their management duties and achieving agreed service targets.
