Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 6: Mariam Jaafar on addressing shortage of nurses
Can more be done to entice nurses who have left the profession to return? Can immigration privileges be temporarily enhanced for trained foreign nurses? What further game-changing moves is the Ministry of Health considering to quickly recruit and retain healthcare workers? These questions were raised by MP Mariam Jaafar in Parliament on Friday (Mar 3). She said healthcare workers are already overworked and demand will only rise as Singapore's population ages and more healthcare facilities and nursing homes come on stream.
