HC Deb 14 November 1912 vol 43 cc2069-70
85. Sir PHILIP MAGNUS

asked whether, in the event of an insured person taken suddenly ill in a county other than that in which he usually resides, he is required before being able to secure, under the National Insurance Act, medical attendance to produce such evidence as the committee, with the approval of the Commissioners, may determine; and, if so, whether he will state the nature of the evidence required to be produced?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The exact nature of the evidence to be required is to be determined before medical benefit commences by the insurance committee, with the approval of the Commissioners, and the matter is receiving the consideration of the committees.

Sir P. MAGNUS

Can the right hon. Gentleman say the character of the evidence required?

Mr. MASTERMAN

When the committees have decided, I shall be able to answer that question.
