Budget Allocation for Mental Health of Civil Servants

Dr Shahira Abdullah asked the Prime Minister (a) whether the Government allocates mental health budgets for the welfare of civil servants; and (b) if so, what are the allocated budgets for the past three years.

Mr Chan Chun Sing (for the Prime Minister): The Government provides a budget for staff welfare for civil servants, which agencies use to fund activities that improve employee physical and mental health and well-being and show care and appreciation to staff. We do not allocate a specific budget for mental health activities.
