Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Yes, I'll start seeing the regular meeting. Mayor, please.

Mayor
Yes. Today, there are some reports, and the first thing I would like to report is the green relationship. First of all, we decided to use "YOKOHAMA GO GREEN" in the future as a slogan of the city's decarbonization and environmental initiatives. "GO GREEN" is often used overseas, so the city is under the catchphrase "YOKOHAMA GO GREEN", and in the future, carbon half in 2030 and decarbonization in 2050 We would like to further accelerate our efforts. First of all, the first point of the report is that we will start a full-scale demonstration experiment of perovskite. I think reporters are familiar with perovskite, but it has been developed in Japan and development is now intensifying around the world. The city also wants to actively utilize public facilities and support technological development for social implementation. . First of all, it is a demonstration experiment of perovskite utilizing public facilities, but we recruited this time and decided to do it in three places. The atrium of the City Hall, the Tsurumi Ward Hall, and the Northern Water Reclamation Center. About proof method, it varies according to place, and it is different about suggestion company, but we think that we push forward such approach in public facilities integrally. Still, I think we need to raise the speed of the development of this perovskite solar cell throughout the country. I think there are few cases where local governments use perovskite. I guess there is somewhere, I don't think it's zero, but I think there are few, so I would like to accelerate this initiative as Yokohama. As an image, this is the atrium of the city hall, but it is installed in this way, and I think that the performance of perovskite solar cells will increase steadily from now on. And I think the price will go down. So, I think these efforts are going to progress day by day. I think that the innovation of technology and how much developed technology will be applied and demonstrated, but as a Motoichi, along with the development and development of perovskite solar cells, this demonstration experiment I would like to expand the width of. Next, the second point is that we will work on decarbonization of heat in Minato Mirai in earnest using the method of carbon offset. I have always stated that the Minato Mirai district is aiming to build a world-class model of 100% decarbonization of cities. In April 2022, it was designated by the government as a decarbonized pre-decarbonized region. In many areas ahead of decarbonization, we are working on decarbonization of electricity, but MM also works on decarbonization of heat as well as electricity. Heat generally refers to coolers, heating, and air conditioning, using a lot of heat for air conditioning, and emits CO2 in the process of creating that heat, so the challenge is how to reduce that CO2. It has become. Regarding the decarbonization of this heat, I don't think any region is so quick, but this MM district will be very interesting in the future, so I will introduce a little today I would like to do it. First of all, in this Minato Mirai area, there are 290,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year. Of this breakdown, 70% is electricity. As a decarbonization of electricity, as in the past, installing LEDs, installing solar power generation facilities so that they can also generate their own power, or procure renewable energy from the Tohoku region etc. The purchase from the Tohoku region also has the aspect of supporting earthquake reconstruction. After that, we are making such efforts to purchase offshore wind power from areas where wind power is strong, and we are now promoting decarbonization of electricity. . On the other hand, 30% is heat. We operate air conditioning with cold water or steam, etc., and when using that heat, we generate CO2. Therefore, it is important to know how to promote decarbonization there. In terms of how to tackle this issue, we will actively utilize carbon offset to start the largest decarbonization of heat in Japan. As an initiative unique to this Minatomirai district, we will start Japan's largest decarbonization of heat. I'll give you a brief explanation. The Minatomirai district uses the local heat supply system. There is a method of individual heat supply for regional heat supply. There are individual buildings that are normal or easy to think of. There are individual buildings, for example, air-conditioning equipment underground, air-conditioning equipment for each building, or on the rooftop, on an outdoor machine, etc. It is such an initiative to supply it at your own place and turn on air-conditioning. On the other hand, Minato Mirai has adopted a mechanism called local heat supply. This is to make the equipment here at once, create a plant for supplying heat, and there are multiple buildings, high-rise buildings, commercial facilities, or hospitals in Minato Mirai, so we supply them to such places We also supply to universities and such places. Such an approach, this regional heat supply, is a relatively common method not only in Yokohama but also in urban areas, but this approach is efficient for individual heat supply in some aspects. It is. For example, this is the source of heat in a lump, so in the event of an earthquake, the source of heat is the source of fire. If it is in each building, like an individual heat supply, it means that a fire source can be generated for each building, but if this is put together in one place, only here It is a heat, the origin of a fire, so the possibility of a fire is relatively reduced. There are these safety features, or this is advantageous in terms of cityscapes, but there is no need to use the area for such underground heat source equipment or rooftop cooling towers, so there is no need to use the space effectively, for example, chimneys can be eliminated, rooftop cooling towers can be eliminated, and greenery can be planted instead, so there is such a useful view. In terms of safety, it is more advantageous than individual, and in terms of urban landscape, it is more advantageous than individual. And what is important is the advantage in terms of using energy. For example, if you are an individual, for example, if there are 5 buildings now, for example, if you have 120 buildings each, if you are individual, you will create 120 energy and use it as 100 thermal energy. Then, there are 5 buildings, so it looks like making a total of 600 energy and using it all over 500. Are you sure? However, in that case, 600 thermal energy is produced as a whole, which means that 600 minutes of CO2 is emitted. On the other hand, when it comes to heat supply, I'm sorry, it looks like 500 pieces, so it will produce 500 minutes of heat energy and 500 minutes of CO2 emissions, so make heat individually, It is more advantageous and efficient compared to the individual method of using it in the building, so CO2 emissions can be reduced. In this sense, local heat supply is a method that also contributes to energy saving. Minato Mirai has been using this method for a long time. Now, the characteristics of this Minato Mirai in this area are the number of heat supplying, the number of buildings, and the number of buildings in Japan. It is up to us to take advantage of this characteristic and work on decarbonization of heat. In terms of how to do it, we would like to use a carbon offset method. Do you know the carbon offset well? Do you know everyone? I'm sorry for the carbon offset, if you look at the face and explain a little briefly, the company that emits CO2 by holding products, services, or MICE etc. There is a company. Please give me that. Basically, it is a major premise that each business operator will make efforts to reduce CO2. However, there is a certain amount of emissions that are difficult to reduce. It is no longer possible to reduce this emissions. At this time, it is written as another company, credit creator, provider, but this company creates a forest and absorbs greenery. I'm sorry, we take measures to absorb CO2, make green and absorb CO2, or introduce renewable energy equipment to create renewable energy. Regardless of whether you make green and absorb CO2, it is an effort to reduce CO2. This means that we are engaged in activities to reduce emissions and contribute to absorption. In a sense, it's like making this a credit and buying it with money. Those who make credits, create and provide credits are companies that introduce renewable energy equipment to create renewable energy or increase forests, and reduce CO2 by such things. Then, in a sense, you buy and sell the reduced amount of CO2 as a credit. This means that this company pays it, buys credits, and adds it to its own CO2 reduction. In a sense, we trade the value of the environment through this credit. So, paying the money and purchasing the environmental value in the form of credit, this company buys it, so actually the act of reducing or absorbing CO2 itself is this company, Although it is done by the business, it is a mechanism that leads to carbon reduction as a whole. This is also an initiative that has been done worldwide rather than the whole country for a long time. It is called carbon offset by the concept of offsetting carbon, dealing with carbon, and making up for it. Using this carbon offset, the companies of Minato Mirai will work on thermal decarbonization. Specifically, these 15 companies are targeted. This is a group of companies that supply heat from a heat supply company in Minato Mirai. There are Pacifico and Hamagin's head office building, like this, there are many things like Shindai and universities, and there are also various things like Nissan, and a considerable amount of thermal energy is used in these buildings . This is the buyer of this credit earlier using credit. We trade this credit and environmental value with those who become credit buyers and make credit in other regions, and businesses that provide credit. However, for example, it's a lot of trouble for individual companies to work on this offset credit. For example, how much CO2 do you actually emit, the credits you need? How much CO2 is emitted and how much should I buy as a credit? You have to calculate such a thing first. After all, it is necessary to estimate CO2, and credits are now being bought and sold in the market in light of our own goals, but how much should we buy them? It is necessary to estimate how many tons of CO2 can be reduced. Then, when purchasing credits, there are countless companies in Japan that actually provide credits, so it is necessary to match them with the best ones from among them. Then, I have to create a flow like that account related to this credit, not a bank account, but I have to make something like an account and exchange environmental value there. After that, we will reduce CO2 by the business operator and the credit purchaser, so I can't count double from the person who made this credit. I have bought a credit here to reduce CO2. CO2 here, if this company is counted for CO2 reduction, it will be a double count, so it is necessary to do proper procedures so that it does not happen, so it is quite troublesome to exchange this credit It takes time. As a central command tower to expand this collective carbon offset effort, Minato Mirai 21 Heat Supply Company will take the initiative in the future, and this is the essence of heat carbon offset. This is the essence of the carbon offset of heat in Minato Mirai. Again, this amount of heat supply in Minatomirai is the largest in Japan. The companies belonging to it head toward this carbon offset, and in order to proceed efficiently, the Minato Mirai 21 Heat Supply Company will be responsible for the central control tower, which will accelerate the heat supply of Minato Mirai. It is to calculate the CO2 to be emitted, procure and process credits commensurate with it, and provide such tasks in a one-stop manner, up to reporting procedures to the country. As I mentioned earlier, there are many of these companies, so I would like to promote the decarbonization of heat. We believe that this initiative will decarbonize and reduce 18,000 tons of CO2 in the region, promote heat decarbonization, and contribute to the reduction of approximately 20% of CO2 in heat. As Japan's largest initiative, we would like to accelerate this initiative in the future. I'm sorry, that's all about this.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Yes, I would like to ask you a question about this matter. As usual, please turn on and off the microphone at hand when speaking. First of all, please.

Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun Aoyagi:
This is the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun of the secretary company. Thank you very much. I think there are more than 60 supply destinations of Minato Mirai 21 heat supply, but I would like to ask if there is any prospect that future prospects will increase further.

Mayor
Yes, that's right. Thank you for your question. First of all, we would like these 15 companies to work on carbon offsetting heat. After that, we will work as a city so that other facilities in this area can also work on carbon offsetting heat. We would like to cooperate with Minato Mirai 21 Supply Company and Yokohama City to promote the decarbonization of Minato Mirai's heat.

Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun Aoyagi:
Yes, please.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about each company? Mr. Nikkei.

Nikkei Shimbun Matsubara:
This is Matsubara of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun. I'm sorry, what are your expectations for this initiative for 100% decarbonization in this city?

Mayor
Yes, thank you for your question. It is a social issue how to promote decarbonization in urban areas. Every city has a goal of reducing by 50% by 2030. We want to make the most of the world's most advanced models as a city. It's a symbolic place in Yokohama called Minato Mirai, and we want to achieve 100% decarbonization. It will be about 5 years. We are steadily moving forward in various ways regarding the decarbonization of electricity, as far as we can proceed in the past five years. In the future, with regard to the procurement of renewable energy for electricity, we would like to try to introduce larger renewable energy. On the other hand, how to proceed with the decarbonization of heat has been an issue for a long time. This time, I think that the progress of decarbonization in Yokohama will further boost the progress of decarbonization in Yokohama, and above all, I hope that it will gain momentum for complete decarbonization at MM.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Mr. Town News.

Town News Komiya:
My name is Komiya of Town News. The achievement of this large scale this time will be something that can only be done by Minato Mirai adopting this regional heat supply system.

Mayor
As you say. Yes.

Town News Komiya:
That means that the 15 facilities this time will start decarbonization of heat, but will these facilities be completely achieved with this?

Mr. Okazaki, General Manager, Zero Carbon and GREEN×EXPO Promotion Bureau Decarbonized Society Transition
My name is Okazaki, the director in charge. This time, the 15 facilities listed here will start decarbonizing heat.

Mayor
We are aware that this will not lead to decarbonization of all heat.

Town News Komiya:
That's a certain amount.

Mayor
It's a certain percentage. Yes.

Town News Komiya:
Thank you very much.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Kanagawa Shimbun-sha.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
This is Takeda of the Kanagawa Shimbun-sha. What is the prospect of purchasing the credit you mentioned earlier?

Mayor
As you know, credits themselves are sold in quite a variety of places, but I'm wondering if they will choose the best one from among them.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
Thank you very much. I'm sorry, I don't study. Credits, for example, buy or purchase preferentially from the prefecture, I think that there are domestic and foreign countries, but what kind of feeling is the policy?

Mr. Hara, Executive Vice President, Minato Mirai 21 Heating Supply Co., Ltd.
My name is Hara of Minato Mirai twenty-one hot supply. It's a credit purchase destination, but outside Japan, it's all domestic based on the Japanese system. Also, there are various sources of that creation, but there are many places that are a little far from local cities, so I think that Kanagawa Prefecture is not zero, but it is quite realistic I think it is difficult. After that, of course, the price varies considerably, so we consider spread first, so when it comes to searching for cheap things and procuring, it is about which district or somewhere in the country I don't really stick to it. Excuse me, that's all.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
Thank you very much. I'm sorry, what kind of place is the place where you buy it, and what kind of business do you call?

Mr. Hara, Executive Vice President, Minato Mirai 21 Heating Supply Co., Ltd.
I've never counted it.

Mayor
I think there's a lot. We can have such a market.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
I'm sorry, the other question overlaps with the question I mentioned earlier, but these 15 facilities are about what percentage of the heat supply destination, or how large is it?

Mr. Hara, Executive Vice President, Minato Mirai 21 Heating Supply Co., Ltd.
In terms of the number of cases, it is now 68. 15 cases are some of the heat supply facilities.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
That's right.

Mr. Hara, Executive Vice President, Minato Mirai 21 Heating Supply Co., Ltd.
Please think it's 15/68.

Mayor
That's right, isn't it? Are you asking Mr. Takeda about the amount of heat?

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
I'd like to ask you.

Mr. Hara, Executive Vice President, Minato Mirai 21 Heating Supply Co., Ltd.
In terms of the amount of heat, it is about 20%.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
By doing so, aiming for a 20% reduction means that the CO2 generated by the generation of heat at these 15 facilities can be basically offset.

Mr. Hara, Executive Vice President, Minato Mirai 21 Heating Supply Co., Ltd.
That's right. This means that we have achieved a reduction of 20%.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
That's right. I'm sorry, it's already started.

Mr. Hara, Executive Vice President, Minato Mirai 21 Heating Supply Co., Ltd.
This means that we have received a contract for FY2024.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
Annual contract.

Mr. Hara, Executive Vice President, Minato Mirai 21 Heating Supply Co., Ltd.
Yes, so when I was asked when I was able to do it, I said that the fees for each company will be fixed at the end of March next year after one year. It's fine.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
That's right. I understand. Thank you very much.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Are you sure? Then, the question on this matter is over. The secretariat will be replaced. Just a moment, please.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Then I would like the mayor in succession.

Mayor
Yes, I would like to report on the free cancer screening at the age of 65. This is the number of stomach cancer cases, and stomach cancer is progressing in the state of pylori, so I think that it is a cancer that will decrease in the future, but overall cancer is increasing with aging . According to the data of Motoichi, 90% of people think that cancer is scary, 80% are familiar people, and the definition of familiar people is different for each person, but familiar people have cancer If you have, there is a questionnaire for Motoichi citizens. Therefore, how to deal with this cancer, early detection and early treatment of cancer are fundamental. Regarding early detection, stage 1 and 2 do not have any symptoms, so cancer screening is still important. Though this is cancer screening of Motoichi, stomach cancer, it is consultation rate according to consultation age. If you look at this, the cancer screening itself has a medical checkup, and it is called a countermeasure type cancer screening that the city is conducting, but there is such a cancer screening, and the cancer screening consultation rate is I'm writing the distribution from 40 to elderly people now, but at the age of 65, it will fall quite a bit. Probably this is expected, but there may be a certain number of people who have worked for a company and have been undergoing medical examinations at the company. After they retired, they have no chance to undergo cancer screening at the company, and I guess that such a thing may affect the phenomenon. This time, I would like to make all cancer screening free for those at the age of 65, and to make cancer screening in Yokohama free. Originally, cancer screening in Yokohama is now free for those over 70 years old. It is free for those over 70 years old. There is a charge for those under the age of 69. On that premise, it will be 65 years old, the timing of entering the younger elderly from now on. As a company, there are many cases of retirement. At that time, I would like people of the age who will increase the risk of cancer to have a habit of undergoing cancer screening regularly. That's one point. Then, we want people who retire from the office to have a habit of undergoing a new cancer screening in the city. That's the second point. From such thoughts, we decided to make cancer screening for 65-year-old Yokohama citizens free of charge. Those who are eligible for free will change to this year, but this time, they were born between April 2, 1958 and April 1, 1959. About 40,000 people aged 65 and 65 as of April 1 are eligible. Cancer screening included stomach cancer health check-up, lung cancer health check-up, colorectal cancer health check-up, breast cancer health check-up, cervical cancer health check-up, and health check-up for prostate cancer screening. Costs are as summarized here. The city has not taken colorectal cancer health check-up for a long time, so I would like to continue that, but I would like to make other health check-up free. I would like to make all cancer screenings free. I'd like a free coupon. We are planning to send out a free coupon. From September 26, it will be delivered one by one. The expiration date is March 31, 2025. Yes. Excuse me. This ticket is right? For example, health check-up stomach cancer, health check-up lung cancer, and health check-up cervical cancer. I will send you these coupons to you. The expiration date is March 31, 2025. No matter how old you are, I would like to strengthen cancer measures so that you can continue to live a healthy and lively life. In order to enhance cancer screening as Yokohama City, we first decided to make it free of charge at the age of 65. That's all about this.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Yes, I would like to ask you a question about this matter. First of all, please.

Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun Aoyagi:
Yes, thank you. In effect, this means that there will be a blank period from 66 to 69, but what kind of idea is this from next year onward?

Mayor
Thank you for your question. Originally, it is free for those over 70 years old. Those who are younger than that were charged, but at the age of 65, it was set up because we wanted to have a habit of undergoing cancer screening by all means.

Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun Aoyagi:
First of all, you want to go to the designated organization of the city once and make it a habit. Yes, I understand. Thank you very much.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about each company? Are you sure? Then the question on this matter will end with this. The secretariat I'll replace it, so please wait a moment.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Then I would like the mayor in succession.

Mayor
Finally, I would like to report on the decision to win the Yokohama Cultural Award this year. The Yokohama Cultural Award was established in 1952, and this is the 73rd time this year. The winners of this year were selected by the selection committee, and the Yokohama Cultural Award was awarded to five people, the Yokohama Cultural Arts Encouragement Award, which was awarded to young people, but this was decided to be two. Was. I will introduce you in order. First of all, from the culture and art section, Takashi Osawa, a woodwork painter, has been selected as a Yokohama Meister.

Next, I would like to introduce the young Yokohama Cultural Arts Encouragement Prize winners. There are two people. First of all, Mr. Katsura Kosumi. He is a musician who attracts a large audience with unique creative activities that make use of his study abroad experience. In 2010, he received the first Hanagata Performing Arts Award as a musician, and is expected to be active in the future. The second one is Kazumi Tachibana. Kazu Tachibana has won many contests and is a violinist who has been looking forward to the future. In 2023, he won the 5th place at the Ron Tibor International Music Competition, and is expected to be further active in the future. The detailed background of the winners of each prize is summarized in the press release document distributed, so please take a look at it. The ceremony and commemorative concert for this cultural award will be held on November 21 at the small hall in Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall. The commemorative concert is scheduled to be performed by LEO, a koto artist who won the Yokohama Cultural Arts Encouragement Award last year. In addition, we would like to invite 250 citizens to this presentation ceremony and commemorative concert, and celebrate the award with the citizens. We hope that you can confirm application method on homepage of Yokohama-shi, guidance handbill. We look forward to receiving your application. That's all about this.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Yes, I would like to ask you a question about this matter. I'd like to ask you from the secretariat.

Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun Aoyagi:
Yes, if you have any comments on the recipients this time, please.

Mayor
Yes, all of you who have been awarded this time are those who have been studying in each field for many years and have made great achievements. I think that the development of Yokohama is supported by the activities of these people, and I realized again that. In the future, we hope that Yokohama City will develop culture, arts, social welfare, sports, etc. with the support of many people.

Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun Aoyagi:
Yes, thank you.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Then, how about each company? Are you sure? Then, the question on this matter is over. The secretariat will be replaced. Just a moment, please.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Yes, I'm going to ask the general question now. If you have more than one question, please give me a brief summary. First of all, please.

Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun Aoyagi:
There is nothing special from the secretariat. Each company, please.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about each company? Mr. Sankei.

Sankei Shimbun Hashimoto:
I'm Hashimoto of the Sankei Shimbun. Thank you very much. As I heard last time, in relation to the Yokohama International Pool, when I asked the mayor last time whether there was no consultation with the mayor from Chairman Suzuki of the Japan Water Federation, if I did not know the mayor, it was said that I could ask the jurisdiction. I checked with the jurisdiction, but I heard it through a swimming-related organization in July. The story that Chairman Suzuki wanted to meet the mayor was that he had heard in the jurisdiction.

Mayor
Where did you hear that?

Sankei Shimbun Hashimoto:
It's the Sports Promotion Division. I asked the jurisdiction. Do you think that there was a problem with the governance of the city because it was not heard of the mayor? Do you think you don't have it?

Mayor
I don't think there is anything. First of all, I understand that it is in the process of proceeding carefully with related organizations under the jurisdiction.

Sankei Shimbun Hashimoto:
I think that yesterday's Prefectural Swimming Federation submitted a document that Chairman Daichi Suzuki would like to meet the mayor on a few days, but after that, Mr. Junichi Kawai, chairman of the Japan Para Swimming Federation, also visited the mayor I guess the document was submitted, but is that submitted?

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
The competent authority.

Sports Promotion Division, Sports, Culture and Dynamic City Development Bureau Sports and Fisheries Promotion Department
Thank you for your question. My name is Takanashi, Sports Promotion Division. I received such a document from a swimming group yesterday.

Sankei Shimbun Hashimoto:
As the mayor, is there any intention to meet Chairman Suzuki and Chairman Kawai?

Mayor
I am aware of the content of the request from Mr. Chairman. At present, we are aware that the competent bureau is carefully exchanging opinions with related organizations.

Sankei Shimbun Hashimoto:
Do you mean you have a meeting in some cases?

Mayor
First of all, there are a lot of stakeholders involved in the relevant bureau, so I think it is necessary to decide what to do in the future based on careful discussions with them.

Sankei Shimbun Hashimoto:
I understand. Thank you very much.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Are you sure? Mr. tvk.

TV Kanagawa Imai:
My name is Imai of TV Kanagawa. Thank you very much. I would like to ask you about the story of a girl who died in the postpartum care business, but now it is a trial and dispute between the bereaved family and the city, but I would like to ask you again about the mayor's opinion, Thank you.

Mayor
Yes. First of all, I sincerely pray for the happiness of the child who died when the child who used the postpartum maternal and child care business died. We take this project very seriously because we have died. We will refrain from commenting on specific comments because we are currently in dispute, but this project must be done safely in the future, and there is a safe use in terms of safety. I would like to work to ensure that you can use it with peace of mind, safely and with peace of mind.

TV Kanagawa Imai:
Thank you very much. I would like to ask you on that, but as a bereaved family, there was a problem with safety management, so I think that there is a place seeking an apology to the city, but what do the mayor think about it? .

Mayor
Yes. I would like to refrain from commenting specifically because it is in dispute.

TV Kanagawa Imai:
I understand. Thank you very much.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Tokyo Shimbun.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
It's Kamiya of the Tokyo Shimbun. In the current case, yesterday's City Council Committee stated that Mayor Child and Youth Bureau would have said that it would have been good for the city to announce it at that time, but what does the mayor think about that? Do you?

Mayor
Yes, first of all, it has been reported that at the time of the outbreak, it was not disclosed because the police were investigating. In publishing, I think that it was necessary to carefully check various stakeholders and make individual decisions.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
I think that it is a big case that people die in the business of the city, but I think there are places where we are currently disputed, but we should have announced that we have died itself, I think there was a judgment that we should do, but how do you perceive that we could not judge at the time of occurrence?

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
The competent authority.

Child and Youth Bureau, General Manager, Child Health and Welfare Department Shibayama:
My name is Shibayama, General Manager of Child Health and Welfare Department, Child and Youth Bureau. There was exchange of yesterday, but as the mayor just mentioned, I'm sorry for the overlapping part. At first, the cause of death was not clear, so it was a form that did not disclose it, but there were times when it became clear afterwards, but at that time, the bureau judged it That means that it did not reach that point, but at that time, as the director answered yesterday at the Standing Committee, it seems that there was such a judgment when I looked back a little now It is.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
In the future, in such a case of such a city, not limited to this, but in the case, what do you think about the decision to announce when a serious situation occurs?

Child and Youth Bureau, General Manager, Child Health and Welfare Department Shibayama:
I'm already thinking that I would like to respond based on the situation, etc., in the form of making individual decisions.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
Thank you very much.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Are you sure? That's the end of the regular meeting. Thank you very much.
