§ 57. Mr. Loganasked the Minister of Health when he intends to issue an up-to-date consolidation of the National Health Insurance Acts; and whether it is intended also to issue an approved societies' handbook?
§ Mr. ElliotI understand the reference in the first part of the question to be to the projected volume containing the consolidated National Health Insurance Acts and the Regulations made there under. While some progress is being made in the preparation of this volume, and also of a revised edition of the Approved Societies' Handbook, pressure of other urgent work in my Department has delayed their completion. I hope that it may be found possible to issue the former volume within the next few months, but I am afraid that I cannot promise an early issue of the latter.
§ Mr. LoganIf there is a possibility of delay in issuing the volume relating to the National Health Insurance Acts, would it be possible to issue the Approved Societies' Handbook, having regard to the complexity of the matters with which they have to deal?
§ Mr. ElliotI am not sure about that, but I will look into the point.
