【主動調查行動報告】為離世摯親盡快安放好骨灰 ,係對逝者嘅尊重🪦,亦可以幫助家人走出悲痛。不過若果錯過年度龕位申請,就可能要等接近一年⏳先可以再申請,好煎熬😢
公署今日就公眾骨灰龕位嘅編配發表主動調查行動報告,主要發現🔍︰
◾編配頻次︰曾咀「每月編配」龕位嘅試驗計劃早喺2020年推出,但直到2025年公署提出建議後,先擴展至其他骨灰安置所。假如可以逐步增加其他骨灰安置所龕位嘅編配頻次,就可以免卻市民等待每年一次編配📆
◾電子化申請︰透過網上平台或網上表格申請最快一日內可「自動批核」,用紙本或電郵申請則平均需時約50日處理,需加強鼓勵市民使用電子化服務📢
◾資訊散亂︰食環署網站同「身後事安排」專題網站嘅部分內容重疊📑
公署向食環署提出咗共19項改善建議,全部獲得接納,其中年度龕位編配已經喺8月開始縮短至每月一次。
💡其他重點建議包括:
✅加強推廣食環署網上平台同「2合1」綜合申請📱💻
✅探討使用科技提升審批效率
✅理順網站內容🌐

【Direct Investigation Operation Report】To inter the ashes of a loved one without delay is a mark of respect and enables the family to heal. However, if it happened to miss the annual application exercise, the family might have to experience the ordeal of a long wait⏳ before the next application.
The Office today announced the results of a direct investigation operation into the allocation of public niches. Our major findings include:
◾Allocation frequency: While a pilot scheme for monthly allocation of niches in the Tsang Tsui Columbarium was introduced as early as 2020, it was not until we made the recommendation in 2025 did the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (“FEHD”) extend it to other columbaria. If the allocation frequency for other columbaria had been progressively increased earlier, the long wait for the annual allocation could have been avoided📆
◾Electronic applications: Applications made via online platform or forms can be processed by “automatic approval” within one day at the earliest, while those made by paper forms or email take an average of around 50 days. It is necessary to step up encouraging the public to use electronic services
◾Disorganised information: Some overlapping content is found on FEHD’s website and the “After-death Arrangements” thematic website
The Office made 19 recommendations and they have been accepted by FEHD. FEHD has started conducting monthly allocation exercises since August.
Other key recommendations include:
✅ step up the promotion for using FEHD’s online platform and the service of “2 in 1 Integrated Application”
✅ explore the use of technology to enhance the efficiency of application processing
✅ align the content of websites
