Hong Kong is proposing significant changes to its Medical Council to enhance public trust and streamline complaint processes. The reforms include increasing the proportion of lay members on the council to 31% while maintaining the number of medical doctors, aiming for more diverse representation. Additionally, the time frame for handling complaints will be made public, with an objective to reduce the inquiry process from 42 to 29 months. These proposed amendments to the Medical Registration Ordinance are scheduled for their first reading in the Legislative Council on July 8. AI
