1	2 days	About infant screening	I had my child's 3- to 4-month checkup at the health center, but I was troubled by the lack of space for changing diapers. I felt that it would be nice to have a nursing room where you can change diapers. Many people came for checkups, and there was a scene where I was quite impatient while talking to the doctor. In addition, although it was cold in winter, I was instructed to take off the baby's upper body clothes and wait in the hallway. I think it can't be helped, but I think I couldn't fully resolve my anxiety because I was in a hurry because it was my first time raising a child. I think that the staff at the health center are also busy, but I felt that it would be safer if the guidance was given in a smaller number of people so that each person could have more time to watch. Also, there were instructions to refrain from coming by car due to the limited number of parking spaces, but to be honest, some people find it difficult to come by car, as the means of transportation such as buses and trains are limited. I felt that it would be easier to use if you could maintain the parking lot if possible.	We apologize for any inconvenience caused by using the health center. First of all, we are aware that there is no space for changing diapers in the health center, which is an issue with the facility, and we will consider improvement measures so that you can use the facility safely and with peace of mind. In addition, the doctors in charge of medical examinations for infants are cooperating with the medical examination work while conducting regular medical examinations, and since the number of examinations and the time are limited, we are conducting medical examinations under the current system. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Finally, with a limited budget, Inagi City judges which projects should be prioritized throughout the city, and recognizes that the proposed parking lot maintenance is a future issue. . The Parents' and Children's Comprehensive Support Center will continue to strive to support users so that they can raise their children with peace of mind.

2	2 days	About Owens Health Plaza pool fee	Currently, the usage fee for the Owens Health Plaza pool is set for 2 hours, but I would like you to set a 1-hour usage limit with a lower usage fee.	Regarding the pool of Owens Health Plaza, since it was opened as a health promotion facility, we have set the usage time to 2 hours for the purpose of ensuring that users can use the facility safely. During this time, in addition to a series of procedures such as changing clothes, doing warm-up exercises, using the pool, showering, and changing clothes, those who have become cold in the pool can use the warming room, jacuzzi, and bath. We have set the usage time to 2 hours so that you can use it safely and calmly without panicking while having plenty of time, including warming up your room. I don't think so. Owens Health Plaza is used by a wide range of age groups, from small children to the elderly. We kindly ask for your understanding that this is the time setting.

3	2 days	About children's playground	I often use children's centers inside and outside the city. At a children's center that was recently built outside the city, even if I bring my three children, the staff will play with them, and the children will be satisfied with the unlimited use of drawing paper. enjoying. Please improve the playground for children in Inagi City.	There are five children's halls and i-Plaza children's and youth areas in the city, which are facilities that can be freely visited and used by children from infants to high school students. These facilities are operated according to the characteristics of each region and have playground equipment that meets the needs of users. Currently, with regard to children's centers, we will continue to strive to improve the environment by extending the opening hours and promoting events and hands-on activities using Satoyama by introducing the vitality of the private sector through privatization. Thank you.	Child Welfare Department Children and Youth Division Children's Center and After-school Club Section
4	2 days	About childbirth and childcare support business	About childbirth, child care support business, we hope for cash payment. I have received a catalog gift (point exchange) for a business in Tokyo, but I feel that it is not convenient.	The childbirth and child-rearing support project provides close consultations throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing, enhancing follow-up counseling support that leads to necessary support that meets various needs, and integrated economic support. Inagi City is currently preparing for the start of the system. Among them, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has shown the following ideas regarding the concept of economic support. “Benefits in the form of coupons, etc. can be limited to child-rearing purposes, and by setting an expiration date, it is easier to lead to consumption. There is a risk that the money will not be allocated, and there is a possibility that it will lead to savings rather than consumption.For this reason, compared to benefits such as coupons, cash benefits will be more likely to lead to the purchase of childbirth-related goods (omitted) (omitted) For the time being, we do not think that the implementation of cash payments at the discretion of local governments will not be ruled out as an option, such as when preparations such as coupon payments are not made in time, but as much as possible. We would like you to provide benefits through coupons, etc. Based on the above circumstances, we are currently considering the possibility of providing benefits through coupons, etc. As soon as the details are decided, we will announce them on the city website, etc. Thank you for your understanding.

5	17th	About income limit of medical expenses subsidy for children	It is said that the subsidy for medical expenses for high school students will start, but I would like you to remove the income limit for the subsidy for medical expenses for children. Why is it that children are separated by their parents' income?	The medical expense subsidy system for high school students, etc. is a new system that will be established from 2023 as part of the welfare measures that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government supports child-rearing, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has set a certain income limit. If the city were to subsidize medical expenses for those who exceeded the income limit set by the capital, the city would bear the full amount, so each city will have to decide on the priority of responding to various issues, financial conditions, etc. It is necessary to consider in consideration of The Mayors Association, which consists of 26 cities in the Tama district of Tokyo, is requesting that the Tokyo government remove income restrictions so that all children living in Tokyo can receive medical services equally. We recognize the abolishment of the income limit of the medical expenses subsidy system for children enrolled in compulsory education and high school students as a policy issue, so we ask for your understanding.

6	28th day	Nursery schools in Minamiyama area	There are few nursery schools in the Minamiyama area, and the number of children on waiting lists is large. I've been waiting for more than half a year, but I can't get in, and I've received a guide that I can't adjust in April of the new year. I am concerned that there is no new nursery school information in the situation where new houses are still being built.	Regarding admission to nursery school, we hold a selection meeting for all children who wish to be newly admitted in April, and decide fairly to enter from the children with the highest index. Regarding the expansion of nursery school capacity, according to the Inagi City Child and Childrearing Support Project Plan and Nursery Center Development Policy, from 2015 to 2021, the number of existing licensed nursery schools and nursery mothers will be increased. We are promoting flexibility, authorization of certified nursery schools, establishment of company-led childcare, and transition of kindergartens to certified children's centers. Daimaru Yuushi Nursery School was privatized to increase the number of infants, Hongo Yuushi Nursery School was opened by the privatization of the No. 2 Nursery School, Inagi Nozomi Nursery School was opened by the privatization of the No. 4 Nursery School, and the No. 3 was established. As of April 1, 2021 and April 1, 2022, we have achieved zero children on waiting lists due to a significant increase in the number of children accompanying the opening of Shiodome Nursery School Inagi due to the privatization of nursery schools. We will respond by the nursery school. Thank you for your understanding.	Child Care Support Division Childcare/Kindergarten Section

1	2 days	About street lights	In the Yanoguchi district, there is a T-junction that is so dark that you cannot see the people coming towards you. I want you to turn on the street lights.	We have confirmed the location. By the end of March this year, we will proceed with preparations to install security lights.	Management Division Maintenance and Repair Section
2	2 days	About intersections with poor visibility	The intersection from the road in front of the parking lot of Hongo Yuushi Nursery School to Hongo Negata Street is very dangerous because there is no mirror that reflects cars coming from the right (in the direction of Inagi Station). In particular, the direction of Inagi Station is uphill, and you can see some cyclists making right turns at intersections without slowing down, probably because cyclists cannot climb the mountain unless they gain momentum. The other day, there was a collision accident between bicycles at this intersection. Even on foot, you may run into each other. There is a mirror that reflects the left side, but I wonder why only the right side is missing. Please confirm and respond as soon as possible.	Regarding the curved mirror installed at the requested T-junction intersection, which reflects the left side, roadside trees and utility poles line the sidewalk to the left, blocking the view from the vehicle. However, the right side is not installed because the road is wide open, there is nothing to block the view, and the visibility is good. Regarding bicycle riding, not stopping even when there is a stop sign is a traffic violation, even for bicycles, so we have requested the Tama Central Police Station to crack down on traffic violations.

3	2 days	Congestion of cars turning right from the old Tsurukawa Highway near the Yanoguchi intersection	Near the Yanoguchi intersection, when you turn right from the old Tsurukawa Kaido and enter the Kawasaki Kaido, it is difficult to make a right turn if vehicles are lined up at the Yanoguchi intersection at a red light, etc., and you will have to wait for a long time for a left-turning vehicle. Why not prohibit right turns?	The Tama Central Police Station, which is the traffic manager, is in charge of traffic regulations such as prohibiting right turns. It is said that right turns are not prohibited because they can turn right to Kawasaki Highway without problems during most of the time. The city has requested the Tama Central Police Station, the traffic manager, to conduct a survey regarding the establishment of a new ban on right turns at the requested intersection, including traffic congestion on the former Tsurukawa Highway.

4	The 6th	About collection of plastic garbage from 2023	A briefing session is being held, but I think that it will require more thorough sorting than before, so I would like you to go to the neighborhood association board meeting and have an opportunity to explain.	Towards the start of separate collection of plastic waste from April 2023, in addition to dissemination through the city public relations paper, city website, etc., the “Plastic Waste Separation Guide” will be published by the city on December 1, 2022. We are distributing it to all houses together with the public relations paper. In the sorting guide, in addition to explanations using letters and illustrations, a video on Tama TV in August 2022 where city officials explained the purpose of the project, sorting methods, and points to note in an easy-to-understand manner (Tama TV's Official YouTube) is attached with a QR code for viewing, and we are working to raise awareness among citizens toward the start of the business. In addition, during the period from May to July 2022, open houses were held in 10 districts of the city, and a total of 466 people visited. Currently, we are holding the second open house from November to February in the same order as the first one. In addition, we provide lectures on demand for groups such as Hirao Elementary School, Inagi City Deaf Association, and Daimaru Women's Association. We believe that we have generally been able to publicize our business through these publicity activities, but we will continue to hold briefing sessions as necessary in the future.

5	16th	About fixed-route buses and highway buses	The first departure time of the Wakabadai circulation bus on Saturdays and Sundays is late, and I will not be in time for the Tokyo Airport Transportation Limousine Bus from Wakabadai Station to Haneda Airport. I would like the first train to be set a little earlier. In addition, the Wakabadai circulation bus on weekday mornings is delayed almost every day, and there are many cases where train connections at Wakabadai Station are missed. If you are constantly late, I would like you to correct the time. In addition, the Tokyo Airport Transportation Limousine Bus and Keio Bus bound for Haneda Airport from Wakabadai Station, which have been significantly reduced due to the corona disaster, have not resumed operation until now. Why?	Regarding the departure time of the first train of the Wakabadai circulation bus on Saturdays and Sundays and the delay in the morning on weekdays, the city has informed Keio Electric Railway Bus Co., Ltd., the bus operator. In addition, regarding the bus from Wakabadai Station to Haneda Airport, we contacted Keio Bus Co., Ltd. and Tokyo Airport Transport Co., Ltd., the bus operators. Although the number of users of air routes is increasing, it is said that this is not connected to the increase in the number of users of airport buses. I requested a restart.
