Speakers

Transcript

53 Mr Seah Kian Peng asked the Minister for Health whether there are any plans for a polyclinic in Braddell Heights constituency.

Mr Gan Kim Yong: MOH conducts regular reviews of subsidised primary care facilities in different geographical localities, including Braddell Heights and the surrounding areas. In doing so, we will take into account the existing subsidised capacity in CHAS GPs and polyclinics in the areas as well as the projected primary care demand. Meanwhile, residents within the Braddell Heights constituency can seek subsidised primary care at nearby polyclinics located in Toa Payoh, Hougang or Geylang, and nine CHAS GP clinics in the Braddell Heights area.
