Expect 4-month wait for bed
By Nur Dianah Suhaimi
IT SEEMS like an anomaly.

Some 300 people who currently need subsidised beds in nursing homes must expect a wait of up to four months.

Meanwhile, some 300 such beds are vacant.

The 300 on the wait list require step-down care and cannot afford non-

subsidised beds in nursing homes. They include those recovering from illness and those without caregivers.

Read the full report in The Sunday Times.
