The Health Promotion Board's (HPB) National Steps Challenge, which aims to encourage people to be physically active, has been very popular among residents.

However, I have found it frustrating that the fitness trackers needed for participation have been out of stock for many months, with no word on when they will be available again.

When I called HPB, staff did not know when trackers would be available, and were not able to put me in contact with the department in charge of them.
