“With the reorganisation, each cluster will bring together the capabilities of their polyclinics and partnering GPs, as well as community service providers to drive primary care transformation and anchor care in the community as a collective force,” the MOH said.
With all three of the new clusters having primary care capabilities, this means that integration of care in instances like patient referrals will be streamlined.
