Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 6: Gerald Giam on intermediate and long-term care sector
As Singapore's population ages, the demand for intermediate and long-term care (ILTC) will continue to increase, said MP Gerald Giam in Parliament on Friday (Mar 3). Citing manpower as a key challenge, he asked how the Ministry of Health (MOH) and ILTC providers plan to encourage more Singaporeans to join the sector and what results have been achieved so far. He asked what progress has been made in enhancing salaries, work-life balance and organisational culture, among other areas. Mr Giam also wanted to know if MOH is looking to encourage more men to enter the nursing profession to boost overall numbers.
