Current status of medical collaboration for persons with mental disabilities who use type-B continuous employment-support facilities

Among the type-B continuous employment-support facilities, 76% collaborated with the psychiatric department. Some respondents indicated that medical collaboration was "Not required". Among the types of support expected from doctors and nurses, those related to illness and treatment were the most commonly requested. But opinions emerged, including "No support is sought". Many type-B continuous employment-support facilities that do not employ nurses, do not consider hiring nurses, and the most common reason is "Economically difficult to hire".
