The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mr Joshua Law, today (April 10) visited Tuen Mun District, where he exchanged views with Tuen Mun District Council (TMDC) members and young people, and learnt about the escort service for the elderly in the district.

     Accompanied by the Chairman of the TMDC, Mr Leung Kin-man, and the District Officer (Tuen Mun), Ms Aubrey Fung, Mr Law met with TMDC members and exchanged views on issues that concern them.

     Mr Law then proceeded to the Evangelical Lutheran Church Social Service-Hong Kong to learn about its stairs climbing service for people with decreased mobility living in old buildings. This service is to help these elderly people participate in social and leisure activities and improve their quality of life.
