    Audit's report on dental services / Gustav Klimt's "Portrait of Miss Lieser" painting sold to HK buyer

    On Friday's Backchat, we're talking about the Audit Commission's latest report on public dental services.

    The auditor found that the daily number of appointment quotas at public dental clinics dropped by 50 percent from 40,322 in 2018-19 to 20,337 in the 2022-23 financial year.
    Some citizens were reported to have queued for up to seven hours overnight in order to secure a spot at one of the territory's 11 government dental clinics, prompting the watchdog to request health authorities to fine-tune their allocation mechanism. Grassroots organisations have called on the government to strengthen collaboration with the private sector, while hoping that dentists trained overseas can be given easier access to local practices.
    What can we do to attract more dentists? Should public practice be a requirement for every fresh graduate?
    After 9:45, we'll be looking into Gustav Klimt's "Portrait of Miss Lieser" painting, which was sold to a Hong Kong buyer for US$32mn despite questions over the artefact's past ownership.

    Tighter health checks for professional drivers / Labour Department's domestic helper ticket giveaway

    主持人:Janice Wong and Paul Zimmerman

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we're talking about plans to tighten health checks for professional drivers.

    To help improve road safety, authorities are planning to lower the age of mandatory annual health checks for professional drivers to 65 from the current 70. Those suffering from specific conditions such as night blindness would not get a licence.
    While some support the changes, several representatives of the transport industry have spoken out against the tightened rules — saying the plan would force many drivers to quit.
    So what do you think of the plan? Does it strike the right balance? Should even non-professional drivers be subject to more stringent health checks?
    After 9:45am, we get reaction to free Ocean Park tickets given out by the Labour Department, in a new campaign for households to show gratitude to their domestic helpers.

    9:00am-9:45am: Tighter health checks for professional drivers
