The legislature approved yesterday three motions to hold a plenary debate on whether the Health Bureau’s (SSM) infectious disease centre should be built next to the public Conde de Sao Januario Hospital Centre (CHCSJ) as planned.
The motions were passed by all lawmakers present, except Legislative Assembly (AL) President Ho Iat Seng, who did not vote, as is customary. One of the motions was jointly proposed by lawmakers Si Ka Lon and Song Pek Kei while the remaining two were proposed by lawmakers Au Kam San and Leong Veng Chai respectively.
After the three motions were passed, Ho announced that the three debates, which are about the same topic, will be held on the same day. The speaker did not reveal the date.
