Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture Alexis Tam Chon Weng said yesterday that the number of beds in the city’s old-people’s homes currently available can meet the demand.

According to Tam, there are currently 21 old-people’s homes run by private organisations in the city, providing a total of 2,015 beds.
