FORMER top government officials are to be asked to testify to the Legislative Council's Public Accounts Committee on the housing package offered to Hospital Authority staff.
They are former chief secretary Sir David Ford, former secretary for civil service Barrie Wiggham, and former secretary for health and welfare Elizabeth Wong Chien Chi-lien, now a legislator.
Sir Sze-yuen Chung, the former Hospital Authority chairman, will also be invited to the hearing early next month.
All said last night they would attend the hearing.
However, a spokesman for Sir Sze-yuen had declared earlier in the day that he would not attend.
It was not clear why he had changed his mind.
In 1991, Sir Sze-yuen was involved in the cost overrun controversy at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, of which he was council chairman.
