Chief Secretary Chan Kwok-ki today officiated at the opening ceremony of the Siu Lam Integrated Rehabilitation Services Complex, the largest of its kind in the city showcasing government support and commitment to disabled people and their carers.

Addressing the ceremony, Mr Chan commended the design of the services complex which makes full use of its spatial advantages as well as incorporates smart technology and rehabilitation equipment to create a safe and comfortable living environment for the service users.

He was also pleased to learn that the services complex smoothly implements a medical-social collaboration model, where close communication and flexible arrangements enable quality medical services for the residents with fewer hospital visits.

Mr Chan noted that the Social Welfare Department’s (SWD) estimated recurrent expenditure on rehabilitation and medical social services has reached $12.6 billion in 2025-26, a 35% increase in comparison with that of five years ago, demonstrating the Government’s commitment in supporting people with disabilities.

The Chief Secretary said the Government will continue to strive for service enhancements, including providing additional places for rehabilitation services so that the total number of these places will reach around 39,900 by 2028-29 to meet the keen demand.

Accompanied by Secretary for Labour & Welfare Chris Sun and other officials, Mr Chan presided at the services complex’s unveiling ceremony. The guests also toured the residential care and day training facilities prior to the ceremony.

Located at 12 and 20 Hong Fai Road, Siu Lam, Tuen Mun, the services complex was designed and constructed by consultants and contractors commissioned by the SWD, and started operation in phases starting December 2023.

It is operated by the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, SAHK and the New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association, providing a total of 1,150 residential care places and 560 day training places for mentally handicapped people, physically handicapped people as well as people in mental recovery.
