whether, in notifying the candidates of the examination results, the Medical Council provides them with the marks they have obtained in different parts of the licentiate examination; if not, why not and whether the Medical Council will consider enhancing the transparency of the licentiate examination by providing the above-mentioned marks to candidates?

The number of candidates who participated in the Licentiate Examination for non-Commonwealth trained medical practitioners held by the Hong Kong Medical Council in 1996, and their results, are shown in the Annex.

The standard of the Licentiate Examination and the criteria for assessing the candidates are pitched at that of a local final MB BS/MB ChB examination.

The candidates are informed of their performance in each and every part of the Licentiate Examination, in either actual marks or grades obtained.
