SINGAPORE — Staff at the three public healthcare clusters in Singapore caught vaping or possessing vapes could be dismissed.SingHealth, NHG Health and the National University Health System (NUHS) said they are taking a strong stance against staff vaping and are implementing disciplinary measures.These range from a formal written warning for staff caught for the first time for possessing or using a vaping device to dismissal for repeated offenders and those caught with drug-laced vapes.The Government had earlier announced that it would toughen its stance on vaping, with stricter measures coming into effect on Monday (Sept 1). They include higher fines for abusers and harsher penalties for suppliers.In response to queries from The Straits Times, the three healthcare clusters, which run public hospitals, polyclinics and national speciality centres, said they are aligning their human resources policies with the Government’s stance.NUHS said it has reviewed its policy and guidelines and are communicating these to its staff through e-mail, physical and digital posters, and in-person reminders at meetings.
