Eric Chua on ComCare support for lower-income families
The Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) regularly reviews the assistance, coverage and payout quanta of ComCare schemes to ensure adequate assistance for lower-income families to meet their basic living needs. It last increased the assistance quantum in August last year. During its reviews, MSF looks at data and information from different sources. These include price data from the Department of Statistics, views from domain experts and community stakeholders, as well as academic studies and research commissioned by MSF. Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Social and Family Development Eric Chua said this in reply to an MP’s question in Parliament on Wednesday (Oct 4).
