Under the proposed system, the distribution and retailing of certain specified Chinese herbs would be regulated and a registration system for proprietary Chinese medicine would be introduced.
"Alongside the proposed regulation of CM, the PCCM is also concerned on its further development and has hence proposed to look into the incorporation of CM into the healthcare system in Hong Kong; to provide full-time undergraduate CM courses; and to further promote researches on CM," Dr Tse added.
Members of the PCCM and its two sub-committees had been re-appointed by the Secretary for Health and Welfare for a further period of two years.
Copies of the report could be obtained at various District Offices and the PCCM Secretariat starting from tomorrow (Friday).
The report would also be distributed to CM practitioners and members of CM trade through CM associations.
Suggestions should be made in writing to the PCCM Secretariat at 1st Floor, Shun Feng International Centre, 182 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong.
