Some hospitals are :-
"The Government has restructured all its acute hospitals and specialty centres to be run as private companies wholly-owned by the government. This is to enable the public hospitals to have the management autonomy and flexibility to respond more promptly to the needs of the patients."
-- They are not really "public sectors" - and thus are not cover under the Ministry stringent IT protected infra.

They can decide on how they plan, design and operate their IT infra.

But with the setting up of CSA in 2015, motion is set in place - to monitor 11 Economy sectors that have been identified as the Nation CII (Critical Information Infrastructure).

Healthcare group is identified as 1 of the 11 CII - to be monitored, but probably have yet to come in - before the Singhealth hacking.

But priorities have been alloted to more critical services such as banking, critical national infra that will crippled our Economy to be put under CII first.

Bear in mind, when an Economic sector is identified as CII to be come under monitoring - even private sectors enterprises are involved not only Government related enterprises.

Private sector enterprises will have very different ways of implementing their IT - and to get them on board is a very massive challenges.

Public sector enterprises IT infrastructure are more standardised across the board. Thus easier to implement.

Private sector enterprises IT infrastructure will have very challenging diversity - come in all shapes, sizes, standards and patterns more than badminton.

To get all of them on board is a massive operation.

You are talking about millions of IT devices, infrastructure, systems and software - not only for public sectors plus also the private sectors.

You will have to involved many talents, resources, surveys, meetings, connectivities etc to get everyone on board.

Every enterprises will have to add, modified their existing systems to get on board - and this cannot be done overnight.
