The Hong Kong Government consists of three tiers:
The Chief Executive is the head of the Hong Kong Government and is responsible for leading the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. This post was established in 1997 and generally replaces the functions and powers of the Governor of Hong Kong. It consists of three layers:
1. The first floor is the Chief Secretary for Administration, that is, the Chief Secretary for Administration, the Financial Secretary and the Secretary for Justice. They are all appointed by the Chief Executive and are responsible for formulating the most important policies of the Hong Kong Government, and are directly responsible to the Chief Executive.
2. The second level is the Policy Bureau, also known as the Policy Bureau. Its function is similar to that of a minister in the British government. It is responsible for formulating, coordinating and reviewing specific policies such as health, traffic and safety, and supervising the work of its executive departments.
All Policy Bureaux jointly form the Government Secretariat. Before the accountability system was implemented by Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa in July 2002 1, all Policy Bureaux were only accountable to the Chief Secretary for Administration or the Financial Secretary. After the implementation of the accountability system, it will be directly responsible to the Chief Executive.
