Singapore’s home recovery programme (HRP) was not fully ready to deal with the surge in Covid-19 patients, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said in Parliament yesterday.
But the country has otherwise planned ahead for the spike in cases, including having measures in place to ensure hospitals and healthcare workers can cope with more patients.
“In terms of planning, capacity, manpower – we are always one, two bounds ahead,” Mr Ong said. “What did not go well – and I fully acknowledge that – was the HRP and all the complaints about conveyancing, calling, people not getting responses.”
The scheme had been in the middle of a trial run with just 21 patients on board when it had to be expanded rapidly, as Covid-19 cases rose early last month and put pressure on Singapore’s healthcare system.
