Hong Kong's Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Chris Sun, has publicly defended the actions of medical and social workers regarding a double tragedy. The case involves a 48-year-old mother and her 12-year-old daughter, both of whom died after a fall. Minister Sun emphasized that the decision to send the girl home after her mother's passing was based on "professional judgement." He spoke to reporters on Thursday to address the circumstances surrounding the deaths. The government's stance maintains that the staff acted according to established protocols. This defense comes amid scrutiny over whether the child received adequate support. The incident has sparked discussions regarding hospital discharge procedures in crisis situations.
