Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for Health (a) what plans does the Ministry have to hire more dedicated administrative and support care staff to assist nurses; (b) what is the number of additional staff members the Ministry intends to hire; and (c) what is the timeframe for rolling out these plans.

Ong Ye Kung

The hiring of staff and determination of staffing numbers are managed by the healthcare clusters, not MOH. What MOH does is to work with the clusters to help redesign healthcare roles and facilitate equipping staff with the skills and training to allow them to grow throughout their careers. Every job in a hospital or the healthcare sector needs to be meaningful, dignified and enable the worker to develop and grow.
