LCSD outsourced lifeguard and first-aid services contract worth HK$122 million raises concerns over public spending

The Leisure and Cultural Services Department has awarded a lifeguard and first-aid services contract worth more than HK$122 million to Spotlight Enterprises, raising concerns over whether public funds are being used prudently. The company had previously been found unable to provide the manpower required for swimming pools. The LCSD responded on Saturday that it was satisfied with Spotlight Enterprises' performance over the past two years.
