    Dear Mr xxx,

    Please refer to your email query dated 13 Jan 2014.

    The site at the junction of Bedok Reservoir Road and Bedok North Road is zoned Health & Medical Care in Draft Master Plan 2013. This is a safeguarded site to meet future demands for healthcare services in the longer term.

    Yours sincerely,

    Subject: A hospital at Bedok Reservoir Road and Bedok North Road

    Hello,

    At the Draft Master Plan 2013, I'm curios to see a piece of land marked as Red with letter 'H' which is situated at the junction of Bedok Reservoir Road and Bedok North Road, and at the doorstep of Bedok North MRT (of DTL3).

    Is it a new hospital to be built there? Or is it meant for expansion of (which) existing hospital? What is the timeline to develop that piece of land?

    Regards,
    Xx

    Is that a good thing or bad thing?

    Anyway, it could be a long time before it's built and running.

    It could be a Nursing Home rather than a hospital.

    The medical scene in Singapore is simply pathetic. Its 10 years late. The new hospitals that are currently being built in the north are there not to cater to future needs but to ease current needs. Since 2 years back, public hospitals in our land have been in dire shortage of rooms. Beds are lined up along hospital corridors, as reported by my colleague who's grandmother had to sleep. Another colleague lamented that her mother with dementia, was placed in a temporary sheltered tentage and was subsequently reported missing by the nurses (horrifying experience). There are other experiences which I am not gonna pen down here. This new Bedok site better be a hospital. We deserve a proper hospital accommodation if we eventually need to be warded. Hospital rooms availability should be the least of our concerns if we or our loved ones are so sick o be warded. Medical bills are so expensive but NO beds????

    Don't even get me started on SOME Nursing Homes...

    A lot of things are underplanned and undersized. MCE is the latest example that is only capable of meeting the demand of yesterday.

    Good :

    because rental will be better, since the foreign staff may wanna rent nearby units.

    because transport will likely become more accessible with more buses plying along the route.

    if you work in the hospital


    Bad :

    Some believe it is not good fengshui

    ambulance will ply along the route

    There is also a "H" near my place. It seems that elderly can just walk or wheel there to seek consultation in future. Workers' quarters already have full condo facilites less the swimming pool if you follow yesterday parliament session.

    I personally hope its a hospital. Singapore desperately needs better healthcare facilities to cater for the ever growing ageing population.
    I've had enough. I'm done!!!

    Unlikely, Changi General and St Andrew's are slated to take care of the healthcare needs in the eastern side of Singapore.

    My guess is a nursing home, special needs or step-down care facility

    my guess is that it will take the model of CGH with a small nursing home beside. If you look at the 2013 Master Plan, there is a small plot beside the mosque that is also earmarked as a H.

    Guess its only right if they cannot provide the level of health service equivalent to that of any first world nations, then they should not persist with those exorbitant medical charges.
