5,000 local healthcare staff to get 15% wage increase by end 2014
SINGAPORE — Around 5,000 local healthcare support staff will have received about 15 per cent increase in wages by the end of this year, said Mr Patrick Tay, NTUC Assistant Secretary-General at the National Day Observance Ceremony hosted by National University Health System today (Aug 15).
This improvement came after efforts made by the Healthcare Cluster Tripartite Workgroup to enhance employability and salaries of lower-wage healthcare support staff, namely Health Attendants, Healthcare Assistants and Patient Service Associates, focusing on 3 UPs: Up Skills, Up Career Progression and Up Productivity.
Various ladders of the Progressive Wage Model have also been implemented by the Workgroup since its launch in 2012, to encourage productivity initiatives across the public health sector through sharing and diffusion of best practices.
Piloted projects such as the Pharmacy Stock Receiving System — the use of a personal handheld device to receive, pack and distribute drugs — by the National University Hospital and other facilities, have also seen some form of “mass adoption” across the clusters.
“Although we have reached our target, I would like to urge all healthcare management and staff alike to actively seek opportunities to do more and to spread good initiatives across all healthcare clusters so that all can benefit,” said Mr Tay.

Excuse me, pls get your facts right before you said they work round the clock. Work round the clock means they work from morning to night and to morning again Which they don't though some ward staff, nurses and drs are on late shift.
