Sakaguchi says state aims at early settlement of CJD suits

TOKYO, Japan - Health, Labor and Welfare Minister Chikara Sakaguchi tells reporters at the Diet in Tokyo on Nov. 22 that the government will try to reach an early settlement in two damages suits over Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) contracted from transplants of infected dura mater. The Tokyo and Otsu district courts delivered opinions earlier this month which held the government partly responsible for 28 people in Japan contracting the brain-wasting disease.
