Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 5: Haresh Singaraju on clinical capacity and social prescribing
More than 1.3 million Singaporeans had enrolled in Healthier SG as of August 2025, but reports from the ground suggest utilisation is not as it should be, said NMP Haresh Singaraju. In parliament on Wednesday (Mar 4), he called for a national effort to ensure those who have signed up remain actively engaged in seeking care and benefiting from the framework of community support. Optimising clinical capacity and strengthening social prescribing are critical, he said.
