2024年4月3日，新加坡衛生部長王乙康在國會上關於努力提高覆蓋面，探索負擔得起的精神健康服務的替代或補貼模式的發言。
以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：
議員葉漢榮先生（楊厝港選區）提問衛生部長：
（a）政府將如何與保險業合作，改善精神健康服務的保障範圍，以確保病人能獲得負擔得起的及時干預治療；
（b）是否有計劃與私營機構合作，探索心理健康護理的替代融資或補貼模式。
衛生部長王乙康：（a）部分的答案已在2023年11月6日發布的書面答覆通知中說明，請參閱「心理健康保險覆蓋」的官方報告（2023年11月6日，第95卷，第115期，書面答覆部分）。
政府不提供資金在私立醫院補貼心理健康護理，因為新加坡人可以在公立醫院和綜合診所獲得高達80%的心理健康服務補貼。我們將繼續擴大公立醫院和綜合診所的精神衛生服務能力。
在初級護理體系中，參加社保援助計劃(CHAS)的新加坡人、建國一代 (PG) 和立國一代(MG)都有資格在精選的納入社保援助計劃的私人全科醫生診所獲得心理健康狀況（包括抑鬱、焦慮、雙相和精神分裂症）的補貼。這些診所同時在慢性疾病管理計劃（CDMP）下提供服務，個人還可以使用保健儲蓄（MediSave）支付這些全科診所的慢性疾病管理計劃治療費用。
目前，已有超過450名全科醫生在「心理健康全科醫生合作夥伴計劃」下接受了心理健康專業人員的培訓。政府的目標是到2030年在1350家「健康SG」全科醫生診所提供心理健康服務。
以下是英文質詢內容：
Mr Yip Hon Weng asked the Minister for Health (a) how will the Government work with the insurance industry to improve coverage for mental healthcare services to ensure patients can access affordable and timely intervention; and (b) whether there are plans to explore alternative financing or subsidy models for mental health care in collaboration with the private sector.
Mr Ong Ye Kung: The answer to part (a) of the question has been addressed in the Circular for Written Answers published on 6 November 2023. [Please refer to "Mental Health Insurance Coverage", Official Report, 6 November 2023, Vol 95, Issue 115, Written Answers to Questions section.]
The Government does not fund private hospitals to deliver subsidised care for mental health, as Singaporeans can receive subsidies of up to 80% for mental health services at public hospitals and polyclinics. We will continue to expand the capacity of mental health services in the public hospitals and polyclinics.
In the primary care setting, Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS), Pioneer Generation and Merdeka Generation cardholders are eligible for subsidies for mental health conditions – including depression, anxiety, bipolar and schizophrenia – at selected private CHAS General Practitioner (GP) clinics, under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP). Individuals may also tap on MediSave to pay for their CDMP treatments at these GP clinics. Today, over 450 GPs in GP clinics are trained to support persons with mental health needs under the Mental Health GP Partnership Programme. We target to make mental health services available at 1,350 Healthier SG GP clinics by 2030.
