§ Mr. MUFFasked the Minister of Health if he will inquire into the reasons why national health benefit is withheld by the Royal Liver Approved 481W Society to Stephen Rose, of 104, Balfour Street, Hull, after he had been certified by his doctor for benefit?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI have inquired into this case, and am informed that, on receipt of the benefit claim, the approved society found it necessary to ascertain whether the member's illness was due to an accident for which he had previously received compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Act. The society have now satisfied themselves that this is not the case, and I understand that the benefit due was paid on 28th October.
