Following is a question by the Hon Chu Lap-wai and a written reply by the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Chris Sun, in the Legislative Council today (June 17):
Question: # After obtaining funding approval for implementing the Bonus from the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council on January 19, 2024, the Government then disbursed the one-off Newborn Baby Bonus of $20,000 to eligible parents after completing the required internal procedures.
The review of the Newborn Baby Bonus Scheme is still undergoing, which involves analysing data and conducting in-depth analysis and consideration of related issues. The Government will take into account the views and suggestions of Legislative Council Members and the general public on the Scheme.
