Dear Enquiry (Hospital Authority),
Many thanks for your reply. I refer you to this report "Epidemiology of Child Abuse and Its Geographic Distribution in Hong Kong: An Important Social Indicator of Different Districts and Communities" 2013 http://hub.hku.hk/handle/10722/225958 which clearly provides this data from the HA 2001-2010.
Therefore we can see that the data is compiled. Why was it available for the above report but is not available now for 2010-2021?

Taura Edgar

Dear Ms Edgar,
Further to my reply dated 12 January 2022, please find below the Hospital
Authority (HA) Head Office’s response to your follow-up question:
The HA Head Office was not involved in any compilation of data in the
report you mentioned. The provision of the requested information of the
more recent period would involve retrieval, standardisation, verification
and compilation of raw data. Staff in the departments concerned in the HA
Head Office and hospitals would have to be diverted from their core duties
and other more urgent work, which would affect the execution of the HA’s
proper functions. Hence, the HA is unable to accede to your request for
the reason set out in paragraph 2.9(d) of the Code on Access to
Information which states:
“Information which could only be made available by unreasonable diversion
of departments’ resources.” (paragraph 2.9(d))
If you believe that the HA has failed to properly apply any provision of
the Code on Access to Information, you may complain to the Ombudsman
(email: [1][email address] or postal address: 30/F, China
Merchants Tower, Shun Tak Centre, 168-200 Connaught Road Central, Hong
Kong).
You may wish to know that for academic research, the HA has in place a
mechanism and standard procedures for handling external data request
applications. [[2]Standard Procedures] and [[3]Personal Information
Collection Statement (PICS)] are applicable to all data request
applications. For details, please visit
[4]http://www3.ha.org.hk/data/Provision/Ind.... In brief, there are two
options under the current mechanism, namely Option A and Option B with
details as follows:
Option A: Expedited Approach
There are five pre-defined datasets on the utilisation of different HA
core services that the requestor can choose from, each with specific data
measures and well-defined classification variables. The output is a set of
aggregate summary count data on specific measures analysed by detailed
classification variables. The turnaround time would be shorter, and the
charge for processing the request ($15,000 or above, depending on the data
selection and specification) would be lower as compared to Option B.
Option B: Customised Approach
The customised approach is applicable if the requestor requires
patient-based records or aggregate data other than those covered by Option
A. In the case where the application is accepted by the HA, a charge will
be imposed on the requestor for the provision of data which are customised
according to the research protocol ($60,000 or above, depending on the
complexity of the request), calculated based on the agreed data
requirements and resources required for generating the customised
dataset(s).
The requestor (Note) ^ will need to submit the following documents by
email to the Central Panel on Administrative Assessment of External Data
Requests at [5][email address]:
· Project Information Sheet (if opt for Option A) or research
protocol (if opt for Option B);
· Completed Data Request Application Form (Form A or B) in WORD
format to spell out the data specifications and their relevance to the
requestor’s research; and
· Documentary proof of research ethics approval (applicable only
to requests for patient-based records).
Note: The principal investigator (PI) of the research must be employed by
a local institution, including: (a) universities; (b) Government
bureaux/departments; and (c) non-commercial organisations according to the
list of charitable institutions or trusts of a public character, which are
exempt from tax under section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance.

Dear Enquiry (Hospital Authority),
Thank you for your reply. I really do appreciate your time and effort in making it. It's a shame the data is not regularly available though you do hold it. Stake holders such as parents, education, NGOs and government bodies should be using it to plan for efforts to prevent child sexual abuse. Understanding the scope of the issue which effects at least 1 in 10 children in the US and UK (and likely the same here) is an important public health issue.
Regards,
Taura Edgar
