First trimester dating scan

My wife is already in the 6th week of her first trimester. We went to the polyclinic to get a referral letter for a follow up at NUH with a obstetrics and gynae doctor there. Called NUH and they said that the earliest date available is on the 12th/13th week. Is the wait to see a doctor at NUH so long for subsidized patients? Doesn’t seem right that the wait for a follow up and a crucial first trimester dating scan is so long. Any advise? Thank you :)

i was in private previously cuz my gynae no longer deliver and he refer me to SGH i was with Prof Tan, for what i know down syndrome test was done ard 12-13weeks, only bld test needed to be done during the first trimester, like hiv test etc, maybe you can call SGH and check out their appt, so far i feel their service is good, somewhat could compare to private clinic 😉
