For Hospital Authority (HA) patients, all medications including anti-dementia special drugs are subsidised and provided at standard fees and charges. On one hand, non-HA patients can purchase these drugs with a prescription from community pharmacies as self-financed items (The Government of the Hong Kong SAR, 2015, February 25). On the other hand, recipients of Comprehensive Social Security Assistance, Old Age Living Allowance, medical fee waiver holders, or Level 0 Voucher holders of the Pilot Scheme on Residential Care Service Voucher for the Elderly, are waived from payment for public healthcare expenses (Hospital Authority, 2018).
