Parents asked for support, saying, "I'm so busy with my child's care that I can't afford to raise my siblings and I can't balance my work."
Under these circumstances, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will raise the overall remuneration by 0.56% to support medical care children in line with the revision of the remuneration paid to businesses that provide welfare services to persons with disabilities for the first time in three years next month.

Until now, there have been voices from facilities saying that even if children with medical care are accepted, the remuneration is the same as other children with disabilities and it is not profitable. We will establish a new category specializing in medical care children.
We will ask the facility to assign nursing staff according to the degree of care required for the child, and will add compensation according to the number of assigned nursing staff.
