4 November 2026

NOTICE PAPER NO. 1125

NOTICE OF QUESTION FOR ORAL ANSWER

FOR THE SITTING OF PARLIAMENT ON 3 NOVEMBER 2026

Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament

Kwek Hian Chuan Henry

MP for Kebun Baru SMC

Question No. 2653

To ask the Coordinating Minister for Social Policies and Minister for Health whether the Government will consider providing temporary financial support to caregivers of persons requiring substantial short-term care due to temporary disabilities or acute medical conditions but do not qualify for the Home Caregiving Grant.

Answer

       Sir, persons requiring short-term care due to temporary disabilities or other medical conditions may be eligible for subsidised care under the enhanced Home Personal Care and the Interim Caregiver Service. This helps offset caregiving expenses while supporting both the care recipients’ recovery and their caregivers’ respite needs.
