GP Clinics in HDB Shopping and Office Complexes Not Operating After Office Hours or on Sundays and Public Holidays

53 Ms Mariam Jaafar asked the Minister for National Development how many HDB shopping and office complexes with general practitioner clinics do not have any such clinics that operate after office hours or on Sundays and public holidays.

Mr Desmond Lee: The Housing and Development Board (HDB) plans for at least one general practitioner (GP) clinic in every neighbourhood centre and every precinct shop cluster. They can be located in shopping and office complexes or other commercial units, such as shops on the first floor of residential blocks. Out of the 34 HDB shopping and office complexes, 31 currently have GP clinics. Of these, 28 complexes have at least one clinic operating after office hours, including 26 with at least one clinic open on Sundays or both Sundays and public holidays.
