Calls to subsidise IVF treatments / Power glitches

主持人：Jenny Lam and Mike Rowse

On Monday's Backchat, we're talking about fertility rates and reproductive services.

Some legislators are pressing the government to introduce new measures to support mothers struggling to have children, as birth rates over the past two years stood at record lows.

Citing the high costs of IVF treatments, lawmaker Nixie Lam hopes that authorities can allocate more funds to help middle-class parents wishing to start a family, while increasing the maximum egg storage period from the current 10 years to longer where needed.

Ms Lam's suggestions come in response to Secretary for Health Lo Chung-mau's argument that the government's priority should be supporting citizens to procreate naturally and at a younger age, something critics say might not be financially viable.

So what should the government's long-term fertility strategy look like? We'll be getting the views of our guests.

After 9:45, we get an electrical engineer’s reaction to the recent spate of power outages in Kowloon.
