HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT: Twelve Members have given notice of their wish to speak in the debate, so I propose to exercise my discretion under Standing Orders to allow Members up to 60 minutes to complete their speeches before officials reply. And similarily, I will extend the period for officials to reply to 20 mintutes.
Medical and health services in public sector hospitals
DR. LEONG: Sir, I rise to lead the debate on "Medical and Health Services in Public Sector Hospitals". Were this a motion debate, I would move that the motion be "that the public hospital system victimizes the patients and the staff". It is still on this theme, Sir, that I shall base my text today.
I must declare my interest as I am a medical doctor by trade. Yet I am addressing this problem not as a doctor, but rather as one who has been a victim having worked in this system, and has witnessed repeatedly patients being victimized by the system.
Let us first look at the present abysmally horrifying hospital environment that our patients have to endure.
