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 had the same situation before on Jan 10 went to polyclinic to get a referral letter to NUH and they said the earliest is 7 march!! Because NUH is always packed with appointments! But in god hands I'm in luck on the spot I got appointment on Jan 17 cause someone cancel their appointment.
