Jan 152007 -To soften the CPF blow
SINGAPOREANS accustomed to the process of social policy-setting can feel it- in their bones they are being primed to wait longer before they can access their Central Provident Fund retirement account. It has just been raised to $99,600, with the inflation-adjusted ceiling set (for now) at $120,000 by 2013

Hospital bills up
10% to 30% across
all ward classes
TAN HUI LENG

AVERAGE public hospital bills have increased
across all ward classes from 2005 to 2006,
with the hikes ranging from 10 to 30 per cent.
The Ministry of Health’s (MOH) data
showed that the average bill size for a class C
ward cost $1,112 last year — up 29.6 per cent
from $858 the year before.
As for B2 class wards, it went up 17.4 per
cent from $1,094 to $1,284.
The higher ward classes of B1 and A registered
smaller hikes of 16.7 and 10.3 per cent
respectively. The B1 wards increased from
$2,736 to $3,193 and the A wards went up
from $3,473 to $3,830.
An MOH spokeswoman attributed the big
C-class increases to the inclusion of Intensive
Care Unit patients in last year’s data, medical
inflation and the fact that more patients with
complex medical conditions chose to be admitted
to C class wards.
In the C class wards, which are 80-percent
subsidised, 1 per cent of patients paid
$9,071 or more — even higher than their counterparts
in the B2-class wards, who paid $8,813
or more.
Speaking at the opening of the Wonca
(World Organization of Family Doctors) World
Conference yesterday, Health Minister Khaw
Boon Wan described hospital bills here as
“relatively inexpensive” for the high medical
standards patients are getting.
With Medisave and MediShield, almost all
patients can afford these bills, Mr Khaw added.
“The Ministry will continue to manage
medical inflation without compromising the
quality of patient care,” said the MOH spokeswoman.
“We will use market forces, where appropriate,
to manage medical costs — for example,
through publishing bill sizes and quality
indicators.
She added: “This will allow Singaporeans
to make informed choices on where to seek
treatment and provide transparent benchmarks
on the comparative efficiency of healthcare
providers.”
