Convenor of ExCo Non-official Members speaks on Policy Address
**************************************************************
Following are the remarks by the Convenor of the Non-official Members of the Executive Council (ExCo), Mrs Regina Ip, at a media session on "The Chief Executive's 2025 Policy Address" in the Legislative Council Complex today (September 17):
Reporter: Do you worry that the mechanism will add burden to the senior civil servants and may drive more of them to leave the Government?
Convenor of ExCo Non-official Members: As you know, the bureau directors, they are responsible for a number of departments, so they cannot be held responsible for the daily operations of the departments. That's why it's important for the heads of departments to take responsibility for the operation of their departments. This is what they are supposed to do anyway, so I don't think it will add to their burden.
(Please also refer to the Chinese portion of the remarks.)
