Functions of the Board
The Pneumoconiosis Compensation Fund Board is a statutory body established in 1980 under the former Pneumoconiosis (Compensation) Ordinance (now known as the Pneumoconiosis and Mesothelioma (Compensation) Ordinance*) (Cap. 360). Pursuant to Section 26 of the Pneumoconiosis and Mesothelioma (Compensation) Ordinance, the Board shall have the following functions:
- to administer the fund
- to make recommendations to the Government with respect to the rate of levy
- to conduct and finance educational, publicity, research and other programmes to prevent pneumoconiosis and mesothelioma and to conduct and finance programmes for the rehabilitation of persons suffering from the above diseases
- to administer funds received from the Government and designated by the Government as ex gratia payments to persons diagnosed before 1 January 1981 to be suffering from pneumoconiosis; and
- to perform such other duties as are imposed on it by this Ordinance
*The Pneumoconiosis (Compensation) Ordinance has been re-titled as the Pneumoconiosis and Mesothelioma (Compensation) Ordinance to reflect the extension in scope to cover cancerous mesothelioma starting from 18 April 2008.
