Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song asked the Minister for Health (a) how many female Singapore Citizens have received menopausal hormonal treatment in the public hospitals from (i) 2013 to 2017 and (ii) 2018 to 2023; and (b) of which, what is the proportion who have received subsidised treatment from (i) 2013 to 2017 and (ii) 2018 to 2023.
Mr Ong Ye Kung: The Ministry of Health does not track the number of female Singapore Citizens who have received menopausal hormonal treatment. All Singaporeans who are referred to public Specialist Outpatient Clinics from appropriate referral sources and who are assessed to require menopausal hormonal treatment are eligible for subsidies.
