§ Sir ROBERT FINLAYasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the amount for medical relief under the National Insurance Act allotted to each locality will be based upon the number of insured persons therein; and whether an additional amount will be provided in the case of rural localities where the amount of travelling is much greater than that required in urban districts?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI would refer the right hon. and learned Member to the answer I gave to-day to the hon. Member for Glasgow and Aberdeen Universities.
§ Mr. GOULDINGasked whether it is expected that a saving to the National Insurance Funds will result from his rearrangement of the method of payment to members of the medical profession for domiciliary visits to insured persons suffering from tuberculosis?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThe allocation to domiciliary treatment of a definite portion of the amount available for sanatorium benefit does not alter the total amount so available.
