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 :)

If you don't want to wait so long, you can arrange a scan at regular gp first while waiting for the space at the hospital. Some GPs offered ultrasound service as well, and the price is relatively lower about $90 including consultation. I did mine at a GP first since 5 weeks and consistently throughout till referred to a gynae.
