Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 6: Dennis Tan on use of MediSave for mental health treatment
In Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 9), MP Dennis Tan expressed concern that the current MediSave cap is insufficient for low-income individuals who wish to seek professional help for mental health conditions, but may not be able to afford it. He called on the Ministry of Health to review the current cap of S$700 allowed for chronic mental illnesses, and to allow MediSave payments for consultations with psychologists.
