She admitted that she was studying the reorganization of the Policy Bureau, but did not disclose specific details. She emphasized that it will not be completed during the remaining term of the current government, but will complete the preliminary research work on the structure and personnel establishment. , To be implemented by the next government, emphasizing that the "dismantling of the bureau" is for the long-term development of Hong Kong, and denying it is to win re-election.

The reorganization of the Policy Bureau cannot be avoided for future development

Lam Cheng explained that since the Legislative Council has resumed rational political discussions, she has also been willing to cooperate with the executive leadership in the system. Many people, including her, have great confidence in doing work that is beneficial to the development of Hong Kong. My worries have been greatly reduced.” Therefore, reconsidering how the policy bureaus are formed will be most beneficial to the future development of Hong Kong. This is an issue that cannot be avoided.

She also said that previous governments have done related work, but it is quite difficult to complete the reorganization within a few months from being elected to taking office. "Because it has to be approved by the Legislative Council, the Finance Committee, and there is an amendment to the regulations, so it is almost the same. It was impossible before."

Not implemented within the term, but a good plan will be drawn up

Lam Cheng described that there are "objective favorable conditions" at present, so we should start studying the reorganization, but frankly said that the remaining 9 months of the current government's term of office is actually difficult to achieve during the term of office. The reorganization is proposed, but there are still a few months left. Should the directors be transferred? Maybe a new bureau will find a new director, but only a few months of work?"

She said that the current government will only listen to opinions widely, and will discuss in the new legislative council elected at the end of the year, formulate plans and prepare, including the number of policy bureaus and departments involved, amendments to regulations, and personnel establishment. , The reorganization plan is handed over to the next government: "If the next government doesn't like it, please? Let me take a closer look."

Lam Cheng pointed out that the study of the reorganization only took into account external opinions and the direction of Hong Kong's development in the "14th Five-Year Plan". He described it as "objective basic work" and had nothing to do with his personal willingness to compete for re-election.
