Tonnes of standard operating procedures (SOPs) in place today are complicated and difficult to understand, said new Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

Speaking at a special media interview session recently, he explained that this was why he and several other ministers are working to level the "mountains of pages" being used by the National Security Council (NSC) and replace them with a more public-friendly version.

"I think there are too many sectoral SOPs that are too specific. I think we need to make it general, make it applicable across sectors.

"We need to be clearer to people. Should a particular area see an outbreak, then we move to a second category where the SOPs are again very clear.

"Right now, I think people have to spend a lot of time going through the list and find out what's happening. We want to move away from that. Just a small list of SOPs that are clear, (for) different levels of outbreaks," he said.
