Leung Ka-lau (born 1962) is a former member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong (Functional constituency, medical). He is the first public hospital doctor to be elected as a legislator.[citation needed] He beat pan-democrat Kwok Ka-ki for the seat in the 2008 Hong Kong legislative election. Dr. Leung is a surgeon specialising in General Surgery in the Prince of Wales Hospital in Shatin.
Leung Ka-lau, who has represented the medical functional constituency since 2008, has voted with moderate mindset on various issues.[1] However, he is widely considered a pro-Beijing politician.[2]
Government doctors' pay claim
[edit]In 2002, Leung was named 1st plaintiff in a suit brought by 165 public hospital doctors against the Hospital Authority for remuneration for working on rest days and public holidays and for overtime work. The Court of First Instance ruled they be compensated for loss of rest days and public holidays but dismissed their overtime claim. The Hospital Authority then offered compensation of HK$600 million to the 4,000 doctors affected.[3][4]
