HC Deb 05 December 1912 vol 44 c2486
62. Sir JOHN JARDINE

asked whether, under the present proposals for medical remuneration under the National Insurance Act, doctors will have to wait until after the end of each quarter before they are paid in respect of that quarter, or whether he can arrange for advance payments to be made?

Mr. MASTERMAN

Although the exact sums to be paid in respect of any quarter can, of course, only be determined after the end of that quarter, arrangements will be made whereby it will be possible for doctors on the panel to receive payments in advance based on the numbers of insured persons on their lists at the beginning of the quarter.
