Process for Seeking Redress When Patients are Affected by Lapses that Caused Harm

88 Mr Lee Hong Chuang asked the Coordinating Minister for Social Policies and Minister for Health (a) in cases when the Ministry's regulatory investigations confirm lapses causing patient harm and regulatory action is taken, what mechanisms ensure affected patients are guided to appropriate avenues for compensation or redress; and (b) whether the Ministry will adopt a more integrated workflow in such cases, to reduce the need for patients to initiate separate processes after investigations conclude.

Mr Ong Ye Kung: The question has been addressed in the response to Question No 19 from the Parliament Sitting on 7 July 2026. [Please refer to ​"Strengthening Regulatory Regime for Nursing Homes", Official Report, 7 July 2026, Vol 96, Issue 32, Oral Answers to Questions section.]
