SINGAPORE: The inter-agency task force that is studying ways to better support people with disabilities and their families will announce its recommendations by the end of 2026, the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) said on Sunday (Jul 12).
The Taskforce on Assurance for Families with Persons with Disabilities was announced by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in December 2025.

As of Jul 10, the task force had completed 31 engagement visits with disability service providers, special education schools, employers, healthcare providers, people with disabilities and their families.
