Question No. 949

To ask the Coordinating Minister for Social Policies and Minister for Health whether the Government has conducted a study on the number of retailers and types of sectors outside of healthcare that have adopted the CHAS Blue and Orange cards as a basis to offer discounted products and services.

Answer

1                Some retailers have chosen to use CHAS cards to offer special benefits or discounts to targeted customer segments. These are private initiatives and unrelated to government subsidies for healthcare. As such, my Ministry does not collect data on such uses.
