SYMPOSIUM
ON LONG TERM CARE SYSTEM FOR THE OLDER PERSON
In Hong Kong, the trend of ageing is accelerating when the baby boomers
enter into their old age. With the increasing longevity, people are
more likely to suffer from different degrees of frailty and thus require
different degree of Long-term care service.
In view of this, we have started the discussion on the development
of a Long Term Care System for the older persons in Hong Kong. In July
2002, we have visited Japan to study their Long Term Care System and
their Long Term Care Insurance. In this symposium, we will share our
initial thinking on Long Term Care system and the insights gained from
Japan. Besides, academics and practitioners from elderly services would
share their views as well.
Thus, our Council had organized a "Symposium on Long Term Care
System for Older Person" on October 4, 2002. The presentation paper
