Currently the Department of Health plans to encourage some poorly managed provincial hospitals and various other hospitals to turn into nursing homes, providing more than 10,000 new beds for those in need of long-term care in the next three years. This would help to ease the problem.
目前衛生署也有計畫獎勵部份經營不善的省立醫院及各級醫院轉型，以釋出一萬多床作為護理之家，預計在未來三年內，此一問題將可獲得部分紓解。
