Independent Auditor’s Report and Audited Financial Statements
獨立核數師報告及經審查的財務報表
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Continued)
The Group’s objective for managing capital is to safeguard the Group’s
ability to continue as a going concern to ensure sustainability of the
public health care system. As in previous years, the Group undertook a
budget planning process to work out a viable budget plan for the
financial year ended 31 March 2014. The annual budget is compiled by
assessing the total resources required for HA to meet its needs on
baseline services, pressure areas, as well as programmes approved for the
year and other initiatives incorporated in the HA annual plan. The
projected requirement has been mapped against the funding indicated
by the Government together with other sources of income, including
medical and non-medical fee income and alternative sources of income.
The Group targeted to contain the overall expenditure within the total
funding available. The Group will also make every endeavour to meet the
rising service demand and ensure the best use of public resources. To
enhance accountability for the appropriate use of resources, key
performance indicators have been developed to measure performance
of hospitals/clusters and monthly financial report on HA and clusters’
performance has been reviewed to monitor the spending level against
budget on an ongoing basis.
4. Critical accounting estimates and judgments
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to
exercise significant judgments in the selection and application of
accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. The
following is a review of the more significant accounting policies that are
impacted by judgments and uncertainties and for which different
amounts may be reported under a different set of conditions or using
different assumptions.
(a) Provision for doctors’and non-doctors’claims
165 doctors had filed claims against HA for alleged failure to grant rest
days, statutory holidays, public holidays and overtime worked over a
period going back to 1996 in High Court Action No. 1924 of 2002. Similar
claims were lodged by other doctors in the Labour Tribunal between
2006 and 2012 and they were adjourned pending assessment of the
High Court claim.
HA paid out HK$525,434,000 during the financial year ended 31 March
2007 and HK$222,640,000 between the financial years ended 31 March
2011 and 31 March 2013 under two settlement packages implemented
in 2006 and 2010 respectively.
Following the Court of Final Appeal ruling in October 2009 and the
assessment of damages for the three lead plaintiffs in High Court Action
No. 1924 of 2002 in June 2012, damages in respect of the three lead
plaintiffs were paid in September 2012. HA has since settled over 90%
of remaining claims in High Court Action No. 1924 of 2002 and the
Labour Tribunal.

在制備財務報表時,管理層在會計政策的挑選及應用
方面需要運用重大判斷,包括作出估計及假設。以下
所列是一些需要運用重大判斷及受不確定因素影響的
較重要會計政策,如情況不同,或採用不同的假設,
可能會得出不同的呈報數額。
