Commission on Children convenes 24th meeting
********************************************
At the meeting, members were briefed by government representatives on medical and healthcare services for children. The Health Bureau, the Department of Health, the Hospital Authority and the Primary Healthcare Commission have been providing a range of healthcare and health services to cater for the needs and development of children at different stages of growth, from infancy to adolescence. The Government will continue to enhance the services to strive for the healthy growth of children with a view to achieving the goal of "prevention is better than cure".
The Narcotics Division (ND) of the Security Bureau also updated members on the latest drug situation in Hong Kong, including the Government's anti-drug strategies, the recent abuse situation of the "space oil drug", and preventive education and publicity programmes for students to raise their awareness about the harms of drugs. The ND will continue to collaborate with government departments, non-government organisations and the community to build an anti-drug culture in schools together and strengthen students' resolve to resist drug temptation.
