Inche Ahmad Bin Ibrahim asked the Minister for Health whether the Government intends to build a district hospital in the Sembawang rural area.
The Chief Minister: May I take that question, Sir?
Mr Speaker: Yes, Mr Chief Minister.
The Chief Minister: The answer to the question is in the affirmative.
Mr Lee Kuan Yew: Will the Chief Minister, on behalf of his Minister for Health, inform us when he proposes to build this district hospital?
The Chief Minister: If it please you, Mr Speaker, Sir, the question of priority of district hospitals is being worked out, but a site in Sembawang has already been reserved - I use the word "reserved". At present I am not in a position to indicate exactly where a district hospital at Sembawang will come into the four-year plan we have in mind for medical services.
