***************************************************************

     ​The Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Miss Alice Mak, attended the engagement session on "The Chief Executive's 2023 Policy Address" organised for District Services and Community Care Teams (Care Teams) today (November 21). She introduced the policy measures related to the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau in the Policy Address to around 60 representatives of Care Teams. She also engaged in discussions with the participants and listened to their views.
     
     During the engagement session, Miss Mak introduced the policies related to the home and youth affairs, and emphasised that Care Teams are service teams that support the Government's district work and play an important role in improving district governance. Therefore, Care Teams should fully understand the contents of the Policy Address and, under the instructions of District Officers who are the commanders of all Care Teams in their respective districts, help publicise government policies in the community so that the public can better understand the Government's governing tenets and the development directions of Hong Kong.
      
    Care Team representatives attending the engagement session were enthusiastic. They actively shared their experiences in contacting residents in their sub-districts and providing caring services to members of the public. They all welcomed the new initiative in the Policy Address that a management application would be developed with regard to the operation of Care Teams to facilitate their handling of daily work, which would help improve work efficiency.
      
     Miss Mak expressed her gratitude to the Care Teams for their support for the Government's district work and commitment to serving the community. She called on Care Teams to make their best efforts in establishing district networks, and caring for and serving residents in their sub-districts in accordance with the key performance indicators.
 
      As the 2023 District Council Ordinary Election is approaching, Miss Mak called on the participants and their families to cast their votes on December 10 to elect district councilors who are committed to serving the public. She also appealed to the participants to join the activities organised by the District Councils in order to unite the efforts of all parties in building a caring and inclusive society.
