Hit by a severe bed crunch that has patients waiting in a tent for a hospital bed, Changi General Hospital (CGH) is offering a 50 per cent discount at its emergency department for patients who see a general practitioner first.


It launched the GPFirst scheme on Monday - in preparation for the traditional flood of patients during the Chinese New Year holidays.


More than 130 GPs in the vicinity are part of this scheme. A referral from them is worth a $50 discount off the $100 emergency department fee.


Dr Muhammad Iqmal Abdullah, whose clinic at Bedok Central sees a fair number of factory workers, said companies tend to send their workers straight to CGH following an industrial accident.
