Mai Meijuan pointed out in the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millennium" today that many Hong Kong people living in the Mainland have medical needs, but because they are unable to return to Hong Kong and lack of drugs, the Federation of Trade Unions has processed 10,000 applications for drug delivery. She said that she initially thought that the port service could be restored in a short period of time, but it has not yet been opened, and many problems have emerged, including that the doctors of the HA think that they have not been in contact with the patient for a long time and hope that the patient will prescribe the medicine after the follow-up consultation.

In addition, there are quotas for drug delivery services. Only 400 cases can be handled in a week, resulting in a large number of people waiting. Mai Meijuan said that she had already reported the relevant issues to the Secretary of Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, Zeng Guowei. At that time, she had replied that she would deal with them, but the quota limit still exists after one to two weeks. She urged the government to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
