community nursing services is part of a general effort to treat
patients within the community wherever possible. A further
element in this approach is the half way house programme to

Dr. Chiu has raised the question of the supply of
psychiatrists in the government sector. He has pointed out
that for various reasons psychiatry is not a popular discipline
among doctors.
Since doctors are able to choose their own
specialities, it is difficult to be precise about future supply
but steps are being taken to make a career in psychiatry more
attractive. Medical students are now more exposed to
psychiatry in their training in order to create more interest
in the subject, and I understand that doctors in the
psychiatric service have a relatively better chance of
selected for post-graduate training and promotion to a higher
being
grade. In addition, it is expected that more psychiatrists will
become available as the supply of medical graduates/increases
in the next five years.

provisions will provide a greatly improved better legal
framework for helping those unfortunate people who suffer from
mental conditions illness and mental retardation.
