NOTICE OF QUESTION FOR WRITTEN ANSWER
FOR THE SITTING OF PARLIAMENT ON 07 JULY 2026


Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament
Mr. Dennis Tan Lip Fong
MP For Hougang GRC


Question No. 1633
To ask the Coordinating Minister for Social Policies and Minister for Health in respect of the Primary Care Network scheme (PCN) (a) how many care coordinators are currently employed nationally; (b) what is the current ratio of care coordinators per PCN; (c) how does this compare to the stabilised ratio needed for our ageing population; and (d) whether the Ministry is recruiting more care coordinators for the PCN.


Answer

1        MOH provides funding support for PCNs referencing manpower ratios in public healthcare settings. As private entities, PCNs in turn calibrate their own resourcing based on service demand and each network's needs. On average, PCNs have employed care coordinators based on a ratio of one care coordinator to approximately 3,400 Healthier SG enrolled residents with chronic conditions, comparable to polyclinics.
