70%-80% of Staff in Tan Tock Seng Hospital are Filipino
70%-80% of Staff in Tan Tock Seng Hospital are Filipino
I just read this stat on Asia One in one of their forums....
Does this actually surprise anyone?
Nursing/Patient care below Doctor level doesn't strike me as career path being touted as one to follow for Singaporeans.
I have no idea what the pay levels are but I imagine that the pay is around SPASS/WP level which wouldnt strike me as an incentive to the folks you would want to be going into nursing.
This is on the back of the latest Witch Hunt against someone posting on Facebook , it turned out the guy posting the idiotic comments worked at TTSH

From TTSH !
We would also like to clarify that a quarter of our staff are foreigners, contrary to the inaccurate report by Shin Min Daily News on 5 January 2015.
