Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament
Mr Victor Lye
MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC
Question No. 1221
To ask the Coordinating Minister for Social Policies and Minister for Health (a) whether a non-custodial parent is currently able to access or modify a child’s medical records through platforms such as HealthHub; and (b) if so, what safeguards exist where the other parent has been granted sole custody by the Courts.
Answer
Medical records are provided and updated by healthcare professionals only. HealthHub displays selected medical information from a patient’s medical records. Parents will be able to access, but not modify, their child’s medical records reflected in HealthHub. They may write to contact_us@healthhub.sg with information on special circumstances that may affect access to their child’s records. MOH will assess such requests on a case-by-case basis.
