$2.3 m spent on constructing centre
For the year ended 31 March 2010, the total resources expended was a much larger amount of about $4.3 million, which had a footnote which said “The increase in expenditure is mainly due to the expenditure of $2.3 million in the construction of Emergency Diagnosis and Therapy Centre (EDTC)”.
53% spent on constructing centre
So, about 53 per cent of the expenditure was spent on the construction of the EDTC in the year.
Shouldn’t the building of infrastructure be funded from a hospital’s budget or the MOH, instead of from it’s “Community Charity Fund”?
Like the NUH Patientcare Charity Fund, the name “Tan Tock Seng Community Charity Fund” may have some donors getting the perception that as a “community charity fund”, most of the funds may be used for needy patients.
