Information books on social welfare facilities published

A set of comprehensive information books containing details of existing and planned social welfare facilities in each of the 18 districts throughout the territory are now available for the public.

Copies of the 1996 English edition of the information books have been placed at all regional and district offices of the Social Welfare Department as well as district offices of the Home Affairs Department.

Members of the public interested in such information could approach any of these offices and asked to see the books which should be returned after perusal, a spokesman for the Social Welfare Department said today (Sunday).

They can also contact the department's hotline on 2343 2255 in case they have any queries about the books, he added.

The books contain three parts: a glossary on the types of social welfare facilities and explanation about the services provided, a list of existing welfare facilities in the district and another list of facilities being planned in the district.

"The Chinese version of the information books is being prepared and will be published as soon as it is available," said the spokesman.
