Assessment
1.
Government doctors are less likely to score points in areas such as voluntary service, public or community service because of long hours of work.
The Government Doctors' Association
Justification not strong enough for additional points to Government doctors.
2.
Balance between successful
applicants in the public and private sectors should be
maintained. Serious consequence to the provision of public health services if success rate of Government doctors significantly lower than that of their private sector counterparts. But it is politically unacceptable to exclude all private practitioners. SC points may be given to private practitioners with specialized skills not available in the public
sector.

Director of Hospital Services
It is estimated that within the pool of medical doctors in Hong Kong, about 34% are Government doctors
(estimation based on
the number of MOS, SMOS and Consultants). 156 of the potentially successful applicants are Gov't doctors, i.e. they take up about 33% of the quota in OG 11. Not specific on which type of specialized skills should deserve additional points.
3.
Doctors in the subvented sector are "discriminated against" under the scheme for lack of "Connections with the UK" points. They should get a fair share of quota in OG 11.

No provision for adjustment under the Special Circumstances head.
