Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 6: Ng Ling Ling on expanding help for infant care services
MP Ng Ling Ling said the shortage of infant care places in the neighbourhood poses significant stress on young parents, many of whom work full-time. Many have resorted to informal childminding arrangements which do not qualify them for the same subsidies as formal infant care services do. In Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 6), she asked how the Ministry of Social and Family Development intends to formalise and subsidise such informal childminding arrangements to ensure that they meet quality and safety standards.
