The First Meeting of the year 2002 of the Headquarters for Promoting the Welfare of Disabled Persons
Tuesday, February 26, 2002
A meeting of the Headquarters for Promoting the Welfare of Disabled Persons was held at the Prime Minister's Official Residence.
At the meeting, in light of the fact that the current "New Long-term Programme for Government Measures for Disabled Persons" will be concluded at the end of FY2002, a decision was taken to draw up before the end of this year a new "Basic Plan for the Disabled" beginning with FY2003.
In his opening address, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi called upon all those concerned to make special effort, stating, "One of the important issues that must be addressed during this year is the drawing up of the new "Basic Plan for Disabled Persons" in which we will determine the framework for the coming decade."
