Clarification by Minister for Sustainability and the Environment

Mr Speaker: Minister Grace Fu, I believe you have a clarification on the earlier Parliamentary Question (PQ).

5.00 pm

The Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (Ms Grace Fu Hai Yien): Mr Speaker, thank you very much for the opportunity to make a correction.

Earlier, in my reply to the PQ filed by Ms Hany Soh, I said that the Singapore Food Agency and MOH have conducted joint investigations into 27 incidents of Gastroenteritis outbreaks. Of these incidents, 18 were associated with education institutions, with 14 in pre-schools alone. [Please refer to "Update on Recent Cases of Gastroenteritis in Education Institutions", Official Report, 11 May 2021, Vol 95, Issue No 30, Oral Answers to Questions section.]

The correct number should be 13, instead of 14. Thank you for allowing me to make this correction.

Mr Speaker: Noted, thank you. Senior Minister of State Amy Khor.
