Dear Mr./Ms KT,
       
                        We refer to your further enquiry/request for
information dated 9.9.2015 with regard to a tournament organised by the
Hong Kong Blind Sports Federation in December 2014 and our interim reply
of 18.9.2015.

                        In accordance with paragraphs 1.6 and 1.14 of the
Code on Access to Information (the Code),  Government Bureau/Department
will provide members of the public with information relating to its
policies, services and other matters falling within its area of
responsibility but the Code does not oblige departments to acquire
information not in their possession.  As mentioned in our reply to you
dated 9.9.2015, this Bureau is not in possession of any video footage of
the football match/tournament in question.   You may consider approaching
the Police and/or the HK Blind Sports Federation Ltd direct for the
footage or any other information you wish to obtain.   In this connection,
you may also wish to note that paragraphs 1.20-1.23 and 2.14 of the Code
refer to information held by Government departments for a third party (or
provided to Government departments by a third party), and are therefore
not applicable in your request as this Bureau is not in possession of any
video footage of the football match/tournament in question.  Furthermore,
since the case is now being investigated by the Police, it is not
appropriate for us to take any action on this case pending completion of
the Police investigation.  

                As for your enquiry about issuing guidelines related to
the handling of injured participants in sporting events, this is
essentially a matter for the various individual sports associations and
other groups that organise sporting events in Hong Kong.   HAB has not
issued any guidelines of that nature.

                At your request (vide your email of 25.9.2015), Chinese
version of our earlier replies of 9.9.2015 and 18.9.2015 is appended below
please.  A Chinese version of this reply will be provided to you shortly.

二零一五年九二十九日的回覆

KT先生╱女士︰

你曾於二零一五年九月九日，再就香港盲人體育總會於二零一四年十二月舉辦的足球
公開賽一事，向本局提出查詢╱要求本局進一步提供資料，而我們亦已於二零一五年
九月十八日給予初步答覆。

根據《公開資料守則》（《守則》）第1.6及1.14段，政府各局╱部門會就其政策、服
務、決定及職責範圍以內的其他事宜，向市民提供相關資料，但《守則》並無強制部
門提供該部門沒擁有的資料。本局在二零一五年九月九日給你的回覆中，已表明並無
擁有該足球賽事╱公開賽的任何錄影片段。你可考慮直接與警方及╱或香港盲人體育總
會聯絡，請他們提供有關片段或你想索取的任何其他資料。關於這方面，希請留意《
守則》第1.20至1.23段及第2.14段中所指的資料是由政府部門為第三者持有的資料（
或由第三者向政府部門提供的資料），因此，由於本局並無擁有有關的足球賽事╱公
開賽的任何錄影片段，上述三段《守則》並不適用於你的要求。再者，鑒於警方現正
調查這宗案件，在警方完成有關調查前，我們不宜就此案件採取任何行動。

至於你查詢是否有發出關於處理體育活動參加者受傷事宜的指引，這基本上是本港各
個別體育總會和其他主辦體育活動機構的事務。民政事務局並無發出任何此類指引。

應你(二零一五年九月二十五日電郵)的要求，現夾附我們二零一五年九月九日及十八
日的回覆的中文版本。此回覆的中文版本亦會於稍後提供給你。

民政事務局局長
