HK�s Healthcare Reform

Enhance primary care

� Primary Care Development Strategy by end 2010

Promote public-private partnership in healthcare

� PPP projects being launched progressively

Develop electronic health record sharing

� First stage eHR Programme for sharing by 2013-14

Strengthen public healthcare safety net

� Expand Drug Formulary to support patients in need

Over $5 billion committed for service reform

First Stage: Healthcare Service Reform

Provide a government-regulated, reliable and sustainable HPS for those who subscribe to private health insurance and use private healthcare services on a voluntary basis

Relieve public queue through private services so that public resources can focus on target services especially to take care of low-income and under-privileged groups

Enable those who voluntarily subscribe to private health insurance to continue to be able to afford health insurance at an older age and use private healthcare services

Enhance transparency and competition in private health insurance and private healthcare sectors for better consumer protection and value-for-money services

Second Stage: Voluntary Health Protection Scheme

HPS is � HPS is not �A supplementary financing option for more effective use of private health expenditure, with a positive effect on the sustainability of long-term healthcare financing

Not a panacea that can solve the long-term healthcare financing problem completely given its voluntary nature

A regulated scheme to promote value-for-money services and enhance consumer protection in the private healthcare insurance and healthcare markets

Not a reduction of public health expenditure or public healthcare services which remains the safety net for all

A measure to facilitate healthcare servicedevelopment, enhance service capacity, competition and transparency in private healthcare, relieve pressure on public system, and enhance sustainability of healthcare system

Not a once-and-for-all scheme � it requires continued monitoring and adjustment, including the use of the $50 billion fiscal reserve set aside

Why Health Protection Scheme?
