Appendix 1.3
Demand Formula for Social Rehabilitation Services
The planning of social rehabilitation services subvented through the Social Welfare Department is based on a demand formula endorsed by the former Rehabilitation Development Co-ordinating Committee (now Rehabilitation Advisory Committee) in 1994. The formula adopts an accounting flow approach involving the addition and subtraction of factors constituting the two variables, demand and provision, in calculating the shortfall or surplus, as the case may be.
The application of the demand formula for social rehabilitation services between 1998-99 and 2002-03 in this Plan is based on the actual figures in 1997-98 as illustrated in the following table -
Financial Year / 1997-98 (base-year for projection) / 1998-99 to 2002-03(A) Demand factors
(a) Enrollment / Actual enrollment as at 1.4.97 / Total provision, i.e. B(a), at the end of the preceding year
plus
(b) Waiting list / Actual number of people on the waiting list as at 1.4.97 / Projected shortfall, if any, in the preceding year
plus
(c) New application / Average number of new applications in 199495, 1995-96 and 199697 / Projected number of new applications, i.e. A(c), in the preceding year /
x / Target population* in the year
Target population* in the preceding year
(B) Provision factors
(a) Existing/Planned Provision / Provision as at 31.3.98 / Total provision at the end of the year
plus
(b) Projected Annual Discharge / Average annual discharge rate in 199596 and 1996-97 / x / Actual enrollment as at 1.4.97,
i.e. A(a) / Average annual discharge rate in 199596 and 1996-97 / x / Projected enrollment at the beginning of the year , i.e. A(a)
(C) Shortfall or (Surplus) / (A) minus (B) / (A) minus (B)
Notes: * Population of the relevant age group(s) of the respective service.

Notes:
1. Cost figures are based on the revised estimates of the respective years (except for 1999-2000 which is based on the draft estimates). For public expenditure on rehabilitation services, on-costs including pension, gratuities, housing benefits, medical and dental benefits are taken into account.
2. CSSA denotes Comprehensive Social Security Assistance.
3. DA denotes Disability Allowance.
4. The total public expenditure comprises expenditure by the trading funds, the Hong Kong Housing Authority, the two Provisional Municipal Councils, expenditure financed by the Government’s statutory funds and all expenditure charged to the General Revenue Account. Expenditure by institutions in the private or quasi-private sector is included to the extent of their subventions. The payments of government departments which are wholly or partly financed by charges raised on a commercial basis are also included (e.g. airport, waterworks). But not included is expenditure by those organisations, including statutory organisations, in which the Government has only an equity position, such as the Airport Authority, the Mass Transit Railway Corporation and the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation. Similarly, advances and equity investments from the Capital Investment Fund are excluded as they do not reflect the actual consumption of resources by the Government.
5. Cost figures are based on the draft estimates of 1999-2000.
