(蘋果) 醫學會倡涵蓋衞署 試後綑綁4年  第5方案吸海外醫生  爭病人組織支持

醫委會委員陳沛然
【本報訊】醫委會下月再開會,就豁免有限度註冊專科海外醫生的實習表決。早前醫學會及多個公立醫院醫生團體,就提出第五個方案達成共識,豁免機制適用於衞生署、兩間醫學院及醫管局的海外醫生,但綑綁工作年期不同。據悉,現時很大機會16名醫學界選出委員會支持方案五,佔醫委會委員一半,若方案五獲過半數委員投票支持便可通過;目前關鍵在於能否取得病人組織代表委員支持。

醫委會月初否決豁免有限度註冊專科海外醫生實習的四個方案後,香港醫學會、公共醫療醫生協會等團體,及其他醫界學選出委員,就提出第五方案達成共識。於醫管局、兩間醫學院及衞生署工作的專科海外醫生,考獲執業試可豁免實習。但於醫管局共需綑綁工作三年,當中考試後必須工作最少18個月;於醫學院的本港公院工作,考試後必須工作最少36個月;於衞生署臨床服務職位工作,考試後必須工作最少48個月。

陳沛然:盼紓公院人手不足

醫學會昨晚開會通過支持方案五。現時醫委會有32名委員,若所有委員下月出席投票,須過半數即最少17票才通過方案。據悉,現時很大機會16名醫學界選出委員支持方案五,包括醫學會手握11票,另外1票代表公共醫療醫生協會,及其他選出委員。屬於醫學界選出委員、由醫專選出的張展鵬醫生,表示支持方案五。

醫委會另有16名非醫學界選出委員,當中包括三名病人組織代表委員、一名醫管局代表及兩名醫專提名代表。

據悉,方案五能否通過,目前關鍵是能否取得病人組織代表委員支持。病人組織代表委員林志釉表示,方案五接納豁免機制適用於衞生署很重要,「如果唔接受就冇偈傾」;衞生署的臨床工作較少,有建議要求絪綁時間較長是可以理解。

他表示,早前諮詢不同病人組織的意見,至今接獲的回覆,普遍支持豁免機制適用於衞生署,及對綑綁於該署工作年期可彈性處理反映正面,即不一定要與醫管局的海外醫生一樣。下月1日病人組織會再開會商討,若屆時意見大致相同,相信病人組織代表委員也會有明確的投票意向。

據悉,醫管局對豁免機制適用於醫學院及衞生署沒異議,但關注有關海外醫生絪綁於該局的工作年期,希望能紓緩醫生短缺,該局會再研究投票取向。但有醫生表示,醫管局也受制於政府取向。據悉,醫專未詳細研究各方案,但認為應盡量避免醫學界分化,及接受豁免有限度註冊海外醫生的實習。

醫委會醫生選舉產生委員陳沛然表示,方案需集中處理公院人手不足問題,希望海外醫生盡量留在「最熱、最受壓」的部門服務。

醫委會本月初否決豁免海外專科醫生實習的全部方案後,被政黨追擊,民主黨及自由黨立法會議員均表明,會以私人條例草案,修訂引入海外醫生的機制,隨時令本港醫生水平失守。本身是醫學界立法會議員的醫委會委員陳沛然,上周發動聯署,希望較原訂的下月8日,提早召開醫委會會議,以盡早解決有關豁免海外醫生實習的問題,為追擊降溫。

(SCMP) Lam rejects loopholes are to blame for measles outbreak

Lawmaker challenges the chief executive over 'imported' virus as number of infections hits 43
Three more people were struck down by measles yesterday as public hospitals stepped up precautions for a possible outbreak after a hospital worker was confirmed to have been infected.
The latest report by the Centre for Health Protection pushed the total number of cases to 43 this year, with 21 of the afflicted working at Hong Kong International Airport.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, meanwhile, insisted the situation was "under control" and rejected a lawmaker's criticism that loopholes in the city's immigration policy were to blame for the measles infections at the airport.
Lam did say the authorities would consider doing more to prevent the spread of the disease from migrant workers.
The three new cases involved two airport workers and the father of a baby who had been infected.
The first case was a 45-year-old airport security guard with a good health record, but an unknown vaccination history. She sought medical attention on Monday after developing a fever and rash. She had not travelled during the incubation period or the communicable period and was in stable condition in Princess Margaret Hospital in Kwai Chung.
The second was a 31-year-old airport baggage handler, who developed a fever, headache and muscle pain on March 26 and a rash on March 30. He was reported to have had a measles vaccination and had travelled to Cambodia during the incubation period and the communicable period. He was in stable condition yesterday.
The third case was a 27-year-old man who had been admitted to Prince of Wales Hospital in Sha Tin on Monday. He was healthy and had not travelled, but his eight-month-old son was found to be infected with measles on March 27.
Dr Raymond Lai Wai-man,the Hospital Authority's chief infection control officer, said the authority had asked public hospitals to step up preventive measures after a radiographer at Princess Margaret Hospital was confirmed to be infected.
The 23-year-old was probably infected by an airport worker who had a chest X-ray at the hospital on March 16 after developing measles symptoms, according to Dr Vivien Chuang, the chief manager of infection, emergency and contingency for the Hospital Authority. The radiographer had contact with 45 patients, she said. Six would need follow-ups - to take blood tests and vaccines if necessary - and the rest were considered unlikely to have been infected.
Lai said a measles outbreak at Princess Margaret was unlikely, and none of the people the radiographer had come in contact with had symptoms of the highly contagious disease.
Lai said the authority had given vaccines to 688 hospital workers as of yesterday.
At a question-and-answer session in the Legislative Council yesterday, medical sector lawmaker Dr Pierre Chan asked the chief executive whether the government would require migrant workers to undergo body checks or make declarations about their health before they are allowed into the city.
"It is obvious the virus was imported, meaning there are loopholes in Hong Kong's immigration policy," Chan said.
But Lam rejected the claim.
