Criteria for Inclusion in Chronic Disease Management Programme and Reasons for Non-inclusion of Eczema

18 Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim asked the Coordinating Minister for Social Policies and Minister for Health (a) what criteria does the Clinical Advisory Committee consider for a medical condition to be included in the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP); and (b) what are the reasons for the non-inclusion of eczema in the CDMP at this point in time.

Mr Ong Ye Kung: The criteria considered by the Clinical Advisory Committee (CAC) and assessment of eczema-related conditions for the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) inclusion were explained in response to the written Parliamentary Question raised by the Member for the Parliamentary Sitting on 25 September 2025. [Please refer to ​"Inclusion of Moderate-to-Severe Ezcema under Chronic Disease Management Programme", Official Report, 25 September 2025, Vol 96, Issue 5, Written Answers to Questions section.]

As indicated previously, assessment of eczema-related conditions for inclusion in CDMP is under way.
