    St Francis University: Hong Kong's newest university / Should non-serious patients visiting A&E departments be penalised?

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Philip Wong

    For the first 15 minutes of Thursday's Backchat, we’re talking to the head of Hong Kong’s newest university, Dr Kim Mak, President of the Caritas Institute of Higher Education, which has just been given the green light to become St Francis University.

    From 9:15 to 10:00, we look into authorities' proposals to review hospital A&E charges, in a move aimed at tackling misuse of the city's often saturated emergency wards.
    Citing cases of patients using emergency services for pimples and itches, Health Secretary Lo Chung-mau described the current fees of HK$180 as "out of touch", proposing a hybrid model instead where patients seeking urgent care would pay less while non serious cases would face fees similar to those charged by family doctors.
    According to the Health Bureau, the two least urgent groups made up 65 percent of A&E cases. And while some medical professionals support some form of deterrence, others worry that such measures could lengthen triage procedures.
    Why are citizens so keen to visit the A&E even for minor cases? Is it because of lower costs? Or a lack of private clinics?
