Speakers

Transcript

40 Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment for each year in the past five years (a) what percentage of feedback on second-hand smoke in homes is resolved; and (b) what percentage of feedback on second-hand smoke in homes is repeated feedback.

Ms Grace Fu Hai Yien: Based on the National Environment Agency's feedback data between 2018 and 2021 on smoking in homes, most of the feedback cases did not recur after advisories had been issued to residents in the surrounding units. Fewer than 10% of feedback providers gave further feedback on smoking in homes within a year.
