Children's and Family Agency will conduct a survey on "children's hospice" facilities in Japan. The aim is to create an environment where children with serious illnesses can spend time with their families. The agency will also consider how to provide support for children in the community. The survey will be open to the public for a year, with the first results due in April 2015.
