MSF response to parliamentary question by Ms Nadia Ahmad Samdin related to Adult Protection Services Scheme.

​The Ministry of Health and Ministry of Social and Family Development will implement additional support measures for all homes serving the elderly to further reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure for staff and residents.

​The health and safety of users and staff in our social service agencies (SSAs) are of paramount importance in these challenging times. With the implementation of the major circuit breaker announced by the Multi-Ministry Taskforce today, MSF and NCSS will work closely with SSAs and service providers to ensure the continued provision of services to vulnerable Singaporeans with critical and urgent needs from 7 April to 4 May 2020.

​Financial assistance from help schemes such as the Home Caregiving Grant, MediSave withdrawal for Long-Term Care, ElderFund and CareShield Life, will not affect the computation of household monthly income used in means testing.
