Future Care Planning for Families of Persons with Disabilities

Prof Kenneth Poon asked the Minister for Social and Family Development (a) how many families caring for persons with significant disabilities have, in the past five years, participated in formal future care planning programmes; and (b) what measures are in place to support families who may not yet have made such plans.

Answer

1. Future care planning support is available to families caring for persons with disabilities through SG Enable or social service agencies providing disability services.

2. Between 2021 and 2025, 1,975 care plans have been developed for families caring for persons with disabilities.
