Koon Ho-ming Takes Helm of HKCSS, Leading Two Major Social Welfare Organisations; Says They Can Complement Each Other and Promote Elderly Care in Greater Bay Area
管浩鳴任社聯主席掌社福界兩大組織 稱發揮互補作用、推動灣區養老
The Hong Kong Council of Social Service has reshuffled its senior leadership, with Legislative Council member Koon Ho-ming taking over as chairperson of its Executive Committee. Koon, who is also chairperson of the board of the Social Welfare Sector Heart-to-Heart Action, will lead the two major organisations in Hong Kong’s social welfare sector. He hopes they can complement each other and said that, in addressing Hong Kong’s ageing population, the two organisations need to collaborate with the mainland and internationally. He also hopes to promote elderly care for Hong Kong seniors in the Greater Bay Area, as the city’s elderly-care facilities have been unable to keep pace with population ageing. He said: “The biggest difficulty we face is ultimately the ageing population structure. Compared with the mainland, where about 20% of the population is elderly, our figure is over 36%.”
香港社會服務聯會高層改組，立法會議員管浩鳴接任執委會主席。本身是「社福界心連心大行動」董事會主席的管浩鳴，將統領本港社福界兩大組織，他希望兩者能發揮互補，並指兩個組織在迎對本港人口老化，需要與內地、國際協作，希望能推動香港長者在大灣區養老，因為本港安老設施未能追得上老齡化：「始終我哋面對最大困難，都係人口結構老齡化，因為比起內地嚟講，內地老齡人口約20%，我哋36點幾%。」
