NOTICE PAPER NO. 2191
NOTICE OF QUESTION FOR WRITTEN ANSWER
FOR SITTING OF PARLIAMENT ON 18 SEPTEMBER 2023

Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament
Ms Mariam Jaafar
MP for Sembawang GRC

Question No. 4984

To ask the Minister for Health whether the Ministry will consider ways to allow an increase in the MediSave withdrawal limits per day for hospitalisation expenses, such as by increasing the daily limit after the first two days.

Answer

1  The MediShield Life and MediSave withdrawal limits for hospitalisation expenses are periodically reviewed to ensure subsidised healthcare remains affordable for all Singaporeans. Currently, seven in 10 Singaporeans in subsidised wards do not have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses, while eight in 10 pay less than $100 cash. Limit adjustments to improve affordability will be considered at our next review in 2024.
