425 12.1 Healthcare sector-wide platforms The Healthcare IT Steering Committee and the Cyber Security Council 115. Of note are two platforms with sector-wide oversight over the development and implementation of IT strategies for
the public healthcare sector, namely the Healthcare IT Steering Committee (“
HITSC”); and the Cyber Security Council (“
CSC”).
116. The HITSC is a strategic-level forum for decisions on broad policies, strategies and issues relating to overall healthcare IT (including but not limited to cybersecurity). The HITSC is chaired by
the Permanent Secretary of MOH, and its members include the Managing Director of MOHH (“
MOHH MD”) Goh
Aik Guan (“
Aik Guan”), Cluster Group CEOs (“
GCEOs”). If key cybersecurity issues require discussion and consensus amongst all Clusters at the GCEO levels, they are surfaced to the HITSC for decision.
117. The CSC serves as a forum for discussion on the operational feasibility and implementation of cybersecurity policies and initiatives at the Cluster level. The CSC is chaired by MOHH MD Aik Guan and
its members include Cluster GCIOs or Group Chief Operating Officers (“
GCOO”). The CSC discussions are pitched at the operational level, for instance how a measure is to be phased in or how initiatives are to be prioritised. IHiS Cyber Security Governance (“
CSG”; see paragraph 79 (pg 29) above) acts
as the Secretariat for CSC, and proposes policies and makes recommendations for CSC’s approval.
118. Bruce, who is the MOH CIO and IHiS CEO,
is a member of both the HITSC and CSC.
