The HA provides two designated rooms in each of the 18 public hospitals with accident and emergency departments in Hong Kong to provide one-stop services to victims of sexual violence, including diagnosis and treatment, admission of confessions and forensic examinations.
However, in an oral question in the Legislative Council today (16th), some members of the Legislative Council were concerned about the lack of equipment in the room, such as the lack of video recording equipment.
The Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Law Chi-kwong, responded that the government is reviewing the room facilities to see if improvements can be made.

Medical Councillor Chen Peiran is concerned about the progress of the Hospital Authority's plan to set up a sexual violence crisis support center in public hospitals.
He cited data that the Yau Tsim Mong District is the area with the most sexual violence, and urged the Hospital Authority to set up relevant centers in Kowloon first.
The DAB Legislative Council Member Ge Peifan criticized that the two rooms in the public courtyard are currently useless. For example, there are no gynecological beds in the rooms and recording equipment for taking statements. It is inevitable that customers will have to go to the police station to take statements.
In response, Luo Zhiguang emphasized that the police, the Hospital Authority and the Social Welfare Department have been conducting simulations for handling sexual violence cases, emphasizing that victims can take confessions in the hospital, see forensic doctors, and arrange for a third party to accompany them.
However, the government will review whether the facilities can be optimized and, if necessary, will study improvement projects in newly built or refurbished public courtyards.
