The Private Healthcare Facilities Bill ("the Bill") was published in the Gazette on 16 June 2017 and received its First Reading at the Legislative Council meeting on 21 June 2017. The Bill seeks to provide for a new regulatory regime for four types of private healthcare facilities, namely hospitals, day procedure centres, clinics and health services establishments, which will replace the Hospitals, Nursing Homes and Maternity Homes Registration Ordinance, and the Medical Clinics Ordinance and its subsidiary legislation currently in force.
