Public funds for management support of medical institutions accepting new corona infected persons 15:15 on August 6
While the spread of the new coronavirus continues to expand, the bipartisan parliamentary alliance compensates for the decrease in revenue compared to last year by using public funds to support the management of medical institutions that accept infected persons. I have summarized the recommendations for the government to do something.
The LDP and Komeito parties, which are considering measures to support medical institutions, and bipartisan federations, including the Constitutional Democratic Party, summarized their recommendations to the government at a general meeting held on the 6th.
As a result, he pointed out that the management situation of medical institutions is "a significant decrease in revenue due to new restrictions on hospitalization and refraining from receiving medical treatment for patients who are afraid of infection."
In addition, we are requesting medical institutions accepting people infected with the new coronavirus to cover the decrease in revenue compared to last year with public funds to cover the entire amount.
In addition, in order to prevent nosocomial infections, regular PCR tests should be carried out for medical personnel in areas where the infections are spreading, and a system for stable supply of masks, disinfectants, protective clothing, etc. should be established. And so on.
Former Defense Minister Nakatani, the LDP's co-representative of the Parliamentary League, said, "The medical field in each region is exhausted. The state must intervene and improve the medical system."
The Parliamentary Union will apply for recommendations to the government next week.
