HC Deb 07 July 1914 vol 64 cc870-1
26. Lord NINIAN CRICHTON-STUART

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether any panel patients have been transferred from the Rhymney Valley Medical Association to the Bargoed and District Sick and Medical Aid Society after the closing of the panel list for the year on the 14th December, 1913; whether the latter society was an approved society and officially recognised at that date; and whether, under the circumstances, these transfers have been sanctioned?

Mr. BENN

My right hon. Friend is informed by the Welsh Insurance Commissioners that the answer to the first and second parts of the question is in the negative; the third part does not therefore arise.

Lord N. CRICHTON-STUART

Will the hon. Gentleman say when the Bargoed and District Sick and Medical Aid Society was approved—what date?

Mr. BENN

No, Sir. I am informed that this society is not one of the institutions approved under Section 15 of the Act.

Lord N. CRICHTON-STUART

Not yet approved?

Mr. BENN

Not approved at all, as far as I am aware.
