The controversy over the drug feeding case in kindergartens in New Taipei City continues to rage. People’s Party presidential candidate Ke Wenzhe said in an interview today (17th) that the New Taipei City government allows people to bring their children to New Taipei City for free. Children have to be screened, which is unnecessary and will only cause more panic. In this regard, the New Taipei City Government stated that this is by no means a “general screening” and the concept is completely different.
Luo Wanting, deputy spokesperson of the New Taipei City Government, said, “Dr. Ke, you are mistaken.” Don’t mistake Feng Jing for Ma Liang. This is by no means a “general screening”. If you think of taking a test in New Taipei, New Taipei will provide relevant medical services. What the central government is unwilling to do, New Taipei City is willing to undertake. The original intention is to reduce social doubts and reassure parents and students.
Luo Wanting said that in response to the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s remark last night that public-funded testing is limited to New Taipei City, the New Taipei City Government announced today that children under the age of 6 in all counties and cities across the country can go to hospitals within the jurisdiction of New Taipei City for public-funded testing. Deputy Mayor Liu Heran explained at the press conference that the Dragon Boat Festival holiday is approaching, and parents can use the time to go north to make arrangements. It is recommended to call 8 dedicated hospitals before going to the hospital for consultation. Special personnel will assist in the arrangement, similar to the green channel, and the medical expenses will be borne by New Taipei City Full payment, emphasizing that the central government will not do it, but Xinbei will do it.
Luo Wanting emphasized that the New Taipei Hospital provides medical care and further testing for children in need throughout Taiwan. It is not a general screening. Public figures are requested not to take the lead in spreading false rumors. Seeking truth from facts is the basic social attitude. Some ethnic groups should not create suspicion and confrontation between parents and education staff. , Politics should not override professionalism.
