Health minister Chikara Sakaguchi said Friday he plans to set up a panel of legal, health and welfare experts to consider revising the law on support for survivors of the 1945 atomic bombings.
"We will set up a panel of six or seven experts, possibly in July, to discuss the issue once a month," Sakaguchi told a news conference after a morning Cabinet meeting.
Sakaguchi said June 15 that he wants the law reviewed because it is ambiguous on provisions for survivors who live abroad.
