HC Deb 27 November 1930 vol 245 cc1523-4W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider a revision of the present method of charging approved societies for regional medical and dental services, in view of the fact that some approved societies are utilising these services to a much greater extent than others, thus causing inequalities in the charges on the funds of the several societies?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I do not think any revision of the present method of charging approved societies is required; the services in question are equally available to all societies and proper recourse to vagrancy committees have themselves yet established, or have under consideration the establishment of, training centers for casuals. All the 18 committees have in their statutory orders power to subscribe toward the maintenance of any institution calculated to render useful aid in the administration of the relief of casuals.
