Mr Teo Chong Tee asked the Acting Minister for Health whether there is any plan to upgrade the Changi Hospital and whether a new hospital will be built in the eastern part of Singapore.

The Acting Minister for Health (Mr Yeo Cheow Tong): Mr Speaker, Sir, the Ministry plans to carry out minor renovations to Changi Hospital to upgrade the wards and supporting facilities as a short-term measure.

The long-term plan is to build a new hospital to serve the eastern part of Singapore. It will replace Changi Hospital which is poorly located and which was not designed originally to operate as a high activity acute hospital. The Ministry is currently looking for a suitable site for the new hospital.
