老人保健法の批判的検討 : 愛知県・名古屋市の現状から(臨調行政改革と社会福祉の動向)  [in Japanese] Critical Comments on the Law of the Health and Medical Service for the Aged(Trends of Administrative Reform and Social Welfare)  [in Japanese]

Law of the health and Medical Service for the Aged has just passed the parliament on August 10, 1982. The object of this act is to provide medical care to the aged over 70 years old and public health services to persons over 40 years old, in order to secure healthy living of the aged in a aging society. But, does the act really secure healthy living for the aged? This paper analysed the provisions of the act in comparison with the services now provided by Nagoya City and Aichi Prefecture, and made clear that enforcement of the act would make the health services even worce than now. As the act is situated as a part of the Administrative Reform suggested by the Second Ad Hoc Commission, this paper will help to clarify the nature of the Reform.
