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 :)

To be honest, me and wife tried getting referrals letter from polyclinic and visit kkh. The waiting time is on the actual day polyclinic took 4hours to queue , KKH spend 3.5hours as well. We calculate the time spend on each visit will not justify for the money that we save. We went for private instead
