HC Deb 22 May 1924 vol 173 c2410
76. Mr. C. EDWARDS

asked the Minister of Health whether he has received a letter from the clerk to the Bedwelty Guardians complaining of the increasing number of persons admitted into the guardians' institutions who are entitled to receive benefit under the National Health Insurance Act, but which benefit cannot be claimed by the guardians towards their support; and will he take steps to amend the Act so that a portion of such benefit may be claimed towards their maintenance whilst in the institution?

Mr. GREENWOOD

My right hon. Friend has received the communication referred to by the hon. Member, and he would refer him to the reply given on 6th May to a similar question by the hon. Member for Chelmsford (Mr. S. Robinson).
