Engagements with Trade and Health Professional Bodies for Recently Published Community Care Sector Salary Guidelines

12 Ms Yeo Wan Ling asked the Minister for Health whether the recently published salary guidelines for the community care sector includes engagements with trade and health professional bodies so that employees in privately owned general practitioner and specialist clinics can also peg their salaries according to the recommended job bands and job roles.

Mr Ong Ye Kung: The salary guidelines for the community care sector were developed following consultations with public sector healthcare leaders and community care organisations. The published job banding and salary points are specifically for community care settings such as nursing homes, eldercare centres and hospices.
