Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 2: Tan Wu Meng on continuity of healthcare for ex-offenders
Among Singaporeans just released from prison, there will be those who are older, with multiple medical conditions, who are trying to rebuild their lives. In Parliament on Thursday (Mar 3), MP Tan Wu Meng gave the example of one such person whose medical care and follow-up was far from his home, costing him a lot of time and money when he had yet to find a job. Dr Tan asked what is being done to improve the handover of medical care when prisoners with multiple medical conditions return to the community.
