    AN advocacy group under the People's Action Party (PAP) has submitted a set of recommendations for the March 24 Budget to the Finance Ministry. The PAP Seniors Group (PAP.SG), chaired by Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob, also wants the Health Ministry to consider the list of three recommendations.

    These are: to review the existing ElderShield Scheme; provide greater support for caregivers; and strengthen the Singaporean core in the intermediate and long-term care (ILTC) sector.
