In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Outline the measures the State Department for Medical Services is taking to ensure that senior citizens are automatically enrolled in the SHA, without delay upon reaching the age of 70 years. (2) Clarify whether all relevant Government officers have been equipped with the necessary tools for effective data collection to ensure automatic enrolment of individuals who have reached the age of 70 years and PwDs. Also, confirm if the request of Information Technology (IT) system is in place to automatically halt payment to deceased persons.
