The Social Welfare Department (SWD) launched the Third Phase of the Pilot Scheme on Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly in October 2020. Adopting a new funding mode, namely the 'money-following-the-user' approach, eligible elderly persons may choose community care services (CCS) that suit their individual needs with the use of Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly (Community Voucher). The Third Phase of the Pilot Scheme has been launched on October 2020 for a period of thres years, serving 18 districts of the territory.
