LCQ19: Operational status and financial situation of the CUHK Medical Centre
| Service item (+9%)(+18%)(+13%)(+6%)Note: As the inpatient bed utilisation rate is expressed as a percentage, the year-on-year percentage change for the same period is not applicable. The inpatient bed utilisation rate for the first half of the 2024-25 financial year was 56 per cent.
As regards the overall financial position of the CUHKMC for the 2025-26 financial year, the Health Bureau has earlier required the CUHK and the CUHKMC to regularly report its financial status as well as review and update the future financial projection(s). The Health Bureau, jointly with the CUHK and the CUHKMC, will make an overall report to the Panel on Health Services of the Legislative Council later this year, and it is not appropriate at this stage to comment on the performance of the CUHKMC for individual months. The Health Bureau has noted that there was a change in the management of the CUHKMC last year. Since then, the CUHKMC has progressively introduced a series of measures to improve its financial situation and control its costs. They include reviewing and adjusting the hospital’s service charges and gradually increasing its service volume, such as putting additional operating theatres and hospital beds into service in phases. The CUHKMC has also strengthened control over operating costs (including professional fees and direct costs) to mitigate the overall financial impact.Issued at HKT 15:00 NNNN |
