IN THIS REGARD, SHE SUGGESTED THAT AN EVALUATION WORKSHOP COMPRISING PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE FROM THE SOCIAL WELFARE FIELD, MANAGEMENT EXECUTIVES, AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY BE ORGANISED BY THE SOCIAL WELFARE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, TO RECOMMEND SOUND GUIDELINES FOR EVALUATION.

SHE ALSO EMPHASISED THE NEED FOR INCREASING PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION IN SOCIAL WELFARE, AND THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE CO-ORDINATION MACHINERY BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT, THE VOLUNTARY SECTOR AND THE PUBLIC FARTICULARLY AT DISTRICT LEVEL IN ORDER TO INVOLVE MANY MORE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY'S WELFARE.

SHE EXPRESSED REGRET THAT FUNDS WERE NOT AT PRESENT AVAILABLE TO IMPLEMENT THE CHILD CARE CENTRES ORDINANCE WHICH WAS PASSED BY THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL IN FEBRUARY, AND HOPED . THAT IT WOULD BE GIVEN HIGH PRIORITY.
