Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament
Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song
MP for Aljunied GRC

Question No. 3556

To ask the Minister for Health whether residents who have been seeking outpatient medical treatment at polyclinics will be expected to switch to seeking treatment from their enrolled private family doctors under Healthier SG.

Written Answer

Singaporeans can continue to choose to seek care at any location, even after they have enrolled with a clinic under Healthier SG. They may also choose to enrol with a GP clinic or a polyclinic. For continuity of care, we encourage Singaporeans who enrol with a clinic to return to their enrolled clinic for care as much as possible.
