Hong Kong minister pledges public account on faulty lifts at Queen Mary Hospital

Hong Kong’s development minister has committed to providing a public account regarding the oversight of faulty lift installations at the new block of Queen Mary Hospital. The pledge follows concerns over whether the Development Bureau failed to properly supervise the project's infrastructure implementation.

While the minister agreed to address the matter publicly, she did not confirm whether a new accountability system for department heads would be triggered by these events. The situation remains under review as officials determine the extent of administrative responsibility regarding the hospital's lift safety and installation standards.
