The Financial Secretary, Paul Chan, says it may be the right time to strengthen the medical system while there's an abundance of public money.
He made the comment just days before announcing his budget, which was expected to come with a huge surplus.
Chan said such measures may not bring immediate results, but he said it would be even more difficult to make such plans during bad fiscal times.
While there've been calls for the government to give cash handouts, the secretary said planning for bad times doesn't mean ignoring today's needs.
Chan said people can expect measures in the budget that will give specific help to needy groups.
