Winnie Ho also plans to appoint more medical experts to appeal panel, saying half of current members have legal background
Hong Kong’s housing minister has pledged to adopt a more “humane” approach to eviction cases involving tenants with mental health issues, following the deaths of a mother and son, and plans to appoint additional medical experts to an appeal panel.
Secretary for Housing Winnie Ho Wing-yin said on Tuesday that the department would “seriously review and carefully explore ways to further improve and optimise its work guidelines and procedures, especially for cases involving tenants with special needs.”
“I think in terms of the [appeal panel’s composition], we can look for more people who are committed and have a medical background,” she said during a radio programme.
