In response to media enquiries about the passing of a resolution by the LegCo House Committee this afternoon (May 30), a Government spokesman said, "The Government has announced on May 28 the establishment of an experts committee comprising renowned experts from around the world, the Mainland and Hong Kong to seriously conduct a thorough review of our work in combating SARS.
"We consider that the paramount task now is to let the experts committee complete its report as soon as possible. This is to ensure that we are well prepared for combating any possible outbreak of infectious diseases in the fall and winter. We must protect the health of our residents."
