On Wednesday's Backchat, we heard from health officials on how the city's healthcare system is getting a major boost.

The Health Bureau recently announced that the Community Pharmacy Programme will begin in the fourth quarter of next year. It's a two-part initiative that will streamline access to medication and reduce medicine waste, at both public family clinics and residential homes.

Also, a new pilot programme started yesterday to provide faster medical access for those who need it most.

After the break, we spoke to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data about its new guideline on how to use drones and CCTV systems in a way that protects people's privacy.

And finally, we talked about Operation Secret Santa 2025 with event organisers!
