Dear Mr Edmunds,

Thank you for your email dated 29.7.2019, I regret to inform you that the
requested information is not available in the Department of Health.
 Therefore your request cannot be acceded to.  I have also approached the
Social Welfare Department, the Census and Statistics Department and the
Immigration Department, they indicated that they do not have the requested
information either.

public hospitals can be made to the Hospital Authority.  Relevant details

mortality for refugees

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Department of Health,

Do you have mortality and morbidity rate data for non-refoulement
(refugees/form-8 holder, or however you recognize the ~14,000 asylum
seekers in Hong Kong) claimants using the Hong Kong compared to the Hong
Kong population. Particularly statistics for women and children, but any
health statistics of this population would be useful.

If you do not have this data then any advice on which government
department does would be useful.

Yours faithfully,

Scott Edmunds
