Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 6: Xie Yao Quan on social-health integration
The lower-income segment of Singapore’s population has poorer health outcomes and a lower propensity for health-seeking behaviour for various reasons, said MP Xie Yao Quan. Speaking in Parliament on Friday (Mar 3), he reiterated his call for Healthier SG to be socio-economically inclusive. He stressed the need to pay attention to improving seemingly basic things such as nutrition, sleep, smoking cessation and exercise, as well as tighten the nexus between social service and health.
