Reconsideration for Proposed National Mental Health Office to Come under Oversight of Prime Minister's Office

Mr Keith Chua asked the Minister for Health in view that the Inter Agency Task Force on Mental Health and Well-Being has launched Singapore's National Mental Health and Well-being Strategy, whether there will be reconsideration for the proposed National Mental Health Office to come under the oversight of the Prime Minister's Office.

Mr Ong Ye Kung: The National Mental Health Office will comprise officers from, the Ministry of Health (MOH), Ministry of Social and Family Development and Ministry of Education. It will function as one integrated office within MOH and adopt a citizen-centric approach to the implementation of the Strategy and the development of future mental health and well-being initiatives.
