Rahayu Mahzam on flexibility in hiring foreign nurses
Additional work pass quotas and greater flexibility to recruit foreign nurses and support care staff from non-traditional sources have been allocated to the healthcare sector to meet Singapore’s growing needs. These measures have been used “very judiciously” by the sector, said Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Health Rahayu Mahzam in Parliament on Tuesday (Jan 10). Replying to an MP’s questions, she said her ministry is looking specifically into dependant’s passes for nurses, recognising that access to family is an important concern.
