Summary Since March 2003, worker dispatch services have been allowed for medical-related work at social welfare facilities, and since March 2004, worker dispatch services (for dispatched work with the premise of direct employment afterwards) have been allowed for medical-related work at medical institutions.

However, such worker dispatch services have not been used widely, because of a lack of understanding on the demand side (social welfare facilities, medical institutions) of the trend/details of the system. Furthermore, it has been indicated that there may be a need to work out details of contracts different from dispatched-work contract in other fields to address situations unique to medical-related work (such as responses in case of medical accidents).

Therefore, this survey was conducted for the purpose of understanding the state of implementing worker dispatch services (for dispatched work with the premise of direct employment afterwards) for medical-related work and the issues facing the operation of services. It aims to provide basic materials for exploring the issue further in the future.
