    New penalty system for power outages / Suspected poisoning of a guide dog

    On Friday‘s Backchat we are talking about the new penalty system for power outages.

    The government reached an agreement with Hong Kong’s two power firms to fine them for major supply disruptions. The size of the fine depends on how many people are affected, and for how long.

    For example, a power disruption with a combined 15 million minutes will cost CLP around HK$20 million. Hongkong Electric will have to pay the same amount for an outage that lasts 10 million minutes.

    But some lawmakers are questioning how effective this penalty system is – pointing out that fines could be offset by an existing system that rewards the power companies for restoring power.

    After 9:45am, we look at the suspected poisoning of a guide dog at a Tseung Kwan O mall.

    Ombudsman report on elderly Community Care Service Vouchers / Breast cancer

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Mike Rowse

    On Friday's Backchat, we look into the accessibility of the Pilot Scheme on Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly.

    This comes as the Ombudsman released findings of its investigation into the scheme, noting "obvious progress" but calling on the Social Welfare Department to address lacking quotas in six districts which include Eastern, Southern, Wong Tai Sin, Sha Tin, Islands and Yuen Long.
    Launched in October 2020, the third phase subsidises eligible citizens who need to purchase elderly care services ranging from meal delivery to day care.
    And while praised as a compassionate initiative, the mechanism isn't exempt from criticism, with some groups pointing out at a lack of clarity on eligibility criteria.
    So what is this scheme all about? Who is eligible? And how does it differ from the Elderly Healthcare Voucher? We will find out.
    After 9:45, we speak with the Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation.
