‘Outcomes, not output’: Exco held 25% fewer meetings over John Lee’s tenure so far

AI Summary
Hong Kong's Executive Council (Exco), the top decision-making body, has held 25% fewer meetings during the first 3.5 years of John Lee's administration compared to the same period under his predecessors, Leung Chun-ying and Carrie Lam. Official figures show Exco convened 119 meetings and discussed 602 items under Lee, while Leung and Lam held 159 and 158 meetings, discussing 909 and 729 items respectively. The Executive Council Secretariat, while not commenting directly on the decrease due to confidentiality, stated the government is prioritizing "outcomes" and engaging with non-official members earlier in policy formulation to improve efficiency. This shift aims to streamline proceedings and focus on the results of governmental work.
