Abstract: Hong Kong's public health has always been regarded as an excellent social programme providing quality service and meeting the basic needs of the general public at a heavily subsidized rate. However, medical malpractice seems to be getting more common in Hong Kong, and news reporting of medical malpractice is becoming more frequent too. This has prompted medical complaints concerning a wide range of medical problems, and a wider debate on the quality of Hong Kong's healthcare system. As such, the purpose of this study was to explore and understand the nature of medical malpractice in Hong Kong, and find out what forms of harm are caused to the patients and society. Thus, this study set out to identify what medical malpractice really means in Hong Kong through the eyes of different medical professionals. In total, five medical professionals participated in individual interviews in an effort to give their own opinions on the understandings, perceptions and expectation of the medical system. The findings demonstrated that all the interviewees in this study failed to interpret the nature of medical malpractice, and most of them tended to underestimate the harms caused to people and society. Furthermore, these studies have shown the techniques of neutralization involved in medical malpractice from a neutralization-based cultural criminology perspective. Instead of making doctors accountable, the interviewees tended to shift the blame to the hospital rather than doctors. This might be because our society tends to put high values on group norms over legal norms while failing to acknowledge the harm associated with society.

Book Description
This thesis explores the implications of cultural values on substitute decision-making and medical negligence in Hong Kong. It argues that substitute decisions should be made in accordance with patients' wishes or best interests, unless there is clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. The thesis suggests that cultural values may impinge on medical negligence suits brought by third parties. It anticipates issues that may arise if a similar case as Hobbs v. Robertson1 was to come before the Hong Kong courts. The thesis argues that it may be justifiable to limit competent patients' right to waive medical negligence.1(2001), [2001] B.C.J.

Book Description
Preventing Medical Malpractice and Compensating Victimised Patients in China is the first book in English on the legal remedies for preventing medical errors and compensating victims of medical malpractice in China from an economic and legal perspective. Specifically, those legal remedies include tort liability, regulation, insurance and social security. The new medical liability regime based on the Tort Liability Law 2009 currently provides the primary legal remedy against medical malpractice. However, the role of alternative regimes in medical quality assurance and victim compensation should not be ignored. This book: - gives a full description of all the current legal remedies for the prevention of medical malpractice and compensation for iatrogenic injuries in China, in order to see how those different legal instruments interact with and impact on one another. - examines how those legal remedies work in practice and what impact they have on society, based on an extensive analysis of court decisions, several semi-structured interviews, and a review of the available empirical literature. - summarises the law and economics studies on medical malpractice and applies economic theories to the legal remedies in China, in order to put forward policy recommendations to China. The ultimate conclusion of this work is that although many aspects of the legal remedies in China are consistent with the economic model of accident law as far as the prevention of medical malpractice is concerned, they still need great improvement when it comes to compensation for iatrogenic injuries. Overall, this book provides a thorough examination and evaluation of the legal remedies for medical malpractice in China, especially taking into account the latest developments in economic theories and new empirical findings. Hence, it will be of interest to legal and economic scholars, students, lawyers, insurers and policy makers responsible for ensuring the quality of medical care.
