The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority:

     The Hospital Authority (HA) spokesperson today (April 3) said that 12 general out-patient clinics (see table below) will provide holiday clinic services in the Ching Ming Festival this Thursday (April 5). Members of the public are reminded to make advance booking through the telephone system as usual for appointments.
 
     The spokesperson added that the Accident and Emergency (A&E) Departments in public hospitals will also operate as usual during the holiday to serve patients with urgent medical needs. The established triage system will ensure priority treatment for critical and emergency patients according to their clinical conditions. The queuing time is expected to be longer for semi-urgent and non-urgent patients as there may be more patients attending A&E Departments during the holiday. The HA appeals to the public for understanding and co-operation while waiting for consultation. Non-urgent patients are advised to consider seeking consultation at general out-patient clinics, private doctors or the 24-hour clinics of private hospitals.
 
     To help find the appropriate family medicine doctor and related clinic service of their choice, members of the public are welcome to call the HA Infoline (2882 4866) for information on holiday general out-patient clinic services, browse the Primary Care Directory of Department of Health at www.pcdirectory.gov.hk, or download the "Primary Care Directory" mobile app.
