§ Mr. JOHN WALSHasked the total amount received up to the present on behalf of insured persons in the county and city of Cork; how many have received sanatorium treatment, and the cost of same; if any have been refused sanatorium benefit; and, if so, on what grounds?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI am unable to distinguish the exact sum received in respect of insured persons, towards the cost of the several benefits of the Insurance Act, in the county and city of Cork from those received in respect of other insured persons in Ireland. Nine applicants from this district are receiving treatment for tuberculosis, eight of them in sanatoria. The exact cost of their treatment cannot yet be stated as it is still being continued. No applicant has been refused benefit.
