Cash incentives for squash at Asian Games / Primary healthcare integration for the elderly / First tender awarded for Northern Metropolis / PolyU's research on stroke rehabilitation

On this programme, we chat with the head of the Squash Association of Hong Kong, China, which will launch an award scheme to support athletes competing in the upcoming Nagoya Asian Games.

A medical sector lawmaker then joins the show to tell us about the integration of nine Elderly Health Centres into the district health network, starting from October 5.

After the break, a representative from a local think tank will give us an update on the Northern Metropolis after the government awarded the first tender for a major land parcel of the mega-project.

And finally, we end the show by taking a closer look at research by the Polytechnic University which identified how different environments and mental tasks affect a stroke survivor's ability to walk while multitasking, using that data to create custom therapy.
