Dear Surabhi Chopra,
I refer to your request for access to information on 12 October 2021 and
our interim reply to you on 21 October 2021. I hereby provide you the
following information.
If a detainee complains of or appears to be suffering from sickness or
injury, the detainee should be provided with adequate medical attention at
the Castle Peak Bay Immigration Centre (“CIC”). If necessary, on the
advice of the duty medical officer in the CIC, the detainee concerned will
immediately be sent to a public hospital for further examination and
receiving appropriate medical treatment. The Immigration Department does
not maintain the requested information.
I hope the information is useful to you.
Best Regards,
CHEUNG Kai-ho
for Director of Immigration
