    Lando Norris' first F1 World Drivers' Championship win / Wig requirement dropped for some UK courts / Under-16s social media ban kicks-off in Australia / Hong Kong’s Taoist festivals

    On Friday's programme, we talked about McLaren's Lando Norris' first F1 World Drivers' Championship win. A former racing driver discussed the significance of Norris becoming Britain's first world champion since Lewis Hamilton.

    We then turned our attention to the courtroom, where barristers in the UK have won the right to ditch a traditional headpiece: the wig.

     

    After the break, we took a closer look at how people are coping with the world's first social media ban that was earlier implemented in Australia, targeting under 16s.

    And finally, we concluded the show by talking to a historian about a once-in-a-decade Taoist festival to ward off angry spirits.

    Hospital fees reform / Art Basel

    主持人:Brian Wong and Azam Khan

    In the main part of Friday's Backchat, we discussed the government's latest hospital reforms.

    Starting next year, patients receiving non-critical and non-emergency care at accident and emergency wards at public hospitals will be required to pay HK$400 per visit, up from the current HK$180. The change is aimed at alleviating the burden on A&E wards and encouraging more non-serious patients to seek treatment in the private sector.
    Authorities argue that now is the right time to implement these measures, as semi-urgent and non-urgent patients account for around 60 percent of the cases. The reforms come alongside an increase in the cost of medication fees at public hospitals. Are private practices ready for a potential influx in patients? Will these changes result in more resources being allocated to critical care?

    In the latter part of the show, we spoke those involved in this year's Art Basel.

    9:05am-9:46am: Hospital reforms
    9:05am-9:15am: Priscilla Poon, Chief Manager (Allied Health), Hospital Authority
