Last updated: 2020-02-11 23:13The outbreak of Wuhan pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus has spread in Hong Kong, and all sectors of the community are worried about the amount of protective equipment for medical personnel. Five members of the Tai Po District visited the outpatient clinic of the Nethersole Hospital in Tai Po yesterday (10th), hoping to find out whether the medical equipment of the frontline staff of the hospital was adequate. During the interview with a nurse, many people watched.
A spokesman for Nethersole Hospital said the five people regretted that they affected the operation of the service and caused medical care, patient distress and anxiety. One of the participating district councillors, New Democracy League Zhou Xuanwei, responded, understanding that public hospitals are currently in an emergency, "I don't even want to happen." He repeatedly emphasized that the lobby of the ophthalmology clinic has always allowed public access, and five people have not broken into the ward area. He also said that the HA had a communication group with district board members to communicate medical related matters, but he described the dialogue as flowing through the bureaucracy and could not truly reflect the opinions of residents. Therefore, the five originally planned to wait in the Nethersole Hospital for a meeting with the dean. The meeting was unsuccessful in the end.

He said he found that the hospital's medical staff were wearing full protective clothing, but security guards and cleaning staff were wearing only masks.
Zhou Xuanwei continued, five people arrived at the lobby of the ophthalmology clinic on the first floor of Nethersole Hospital. A nurse thought they were "visitors arranged by the hospital." Later, they discovered that they were self-directed district councillors. It ’s a good place to get in. "The five asked her about medical protection supplies again, or because the problem was more sensitive, the nurse's emotions" began to get excited. " He admits that "the two sides spoke louder and louder as the two sides argued", which attracted many people to watch, including doctors.

Zhou Xuanwei said that the Hospital Authority and District Council members have a communication group to communicate medical related matters. "However, the public relations of the Hospital Authority speaks well and makes me feel that the communication is one-way and does not reflect the public's opinions and concerns. . "For example, many residents are concerned that the designated clinics in the district are only one street away from residential houses and elderly homes. He also pointed out that he could not understand why the Hospital Authority did not send a member to the meeting yesterday, arguing that the Authority did not attach much importance to the District Councils.
