保険証とマイナンバーカード統合を　自民、デジタル庁に若手登用も提言

　自民党のデジタル社会推進本部は１７日の会合で、政府が設置を目指す「デジタル庁」に必要な提言を取りまとめた。将来のマイナンバーカードと健康保険証の完全統合を提唱。１８日に平井卓也デジタル改革担当相に提出する。
　提言は新型コロナウイルス感染拡大をきっかけに、各種給付をめぐる煩雑な手続き、診療、教育へのオンライン対応の遅れなどが顕在化したと指摘。「国民が利便性を実感できる改革が重要だ」と訴えた。
　具体的には、デジタル庁を内閣直属とし「強い権限を有した常設組織」とするよう要請。「これまでの霞が関の組織文化・前例にとらわれない人材配置」を目指し、官民を問わず若手を幹部に登用すること、今後５年間の改革工程表と１０年後の「大きなゴール」を年内に示すことも求めた。（2020/11/17-19:55）

A panel of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party on Tuesday called for the full integration in the future of health insurance certificates and My Number social security and taxation identification cards as part of its proposals toward the establishment of a new government agency tasked with promoting digitalization.
   The panel on measures to accelerate the digitalization of society will submit the set of proposals, compiled at its meeting on the day, to digital transformation minister Takuya Hirai on Wednesday.
   The LDP task force said that the novel coronavirus crisis has shed light on problems such as complicated procedures for the payment of various public financial benefits and delays in adopting online medical diagnostic and education systems. Reforms that will boost the convenience for the public is important, it said.
   The panel said that the planned digital agency should be set up directly under the cabinet "as a permanent body with strong authority."
   The new agency "should aim to carry out personnel appointments without being bound by the organizational culture or precedent in Kasumigaseki" and assign young people from both the public and private sectors to senior positions, the panel said. Kasumigaseki is a district in Tokyo that hosts many central government offices.
