Last week, Today reported the concerns by academics - including prominent healthcare expert Phua Kai Hong - and industry players who called on the Government to urgently review ElderShield, which is the country's sole national insurance scheme for intermediate and long-term care.
In response, Mr Gan - who was speaking to reporters at the sidelines of a community event - reiterated that the review of ElderShield will have to wait for now.
Said Mr Gan: "This year, we are reviewing MediShield, so next year we will be reviewing ElderShield."

Are we paying multi-million dollar salaries for one-trick-at-a-time Ministers and million dollar salaries for top civil servants who are unable to manage even more than one review per year? And there are thousands in the ministry?
More worrying, this one review at a time is the reason why our policies fail - they should be taking a holistic approach.
