§ Mr. F. ROBERTSasked the Minister of Pensions whether any arrangements have been made for the payment of 1789W special pensions to pensioners who have undergone treatment in a sanatorium for tuberculosis; and, if so, what are the conditions under which such pensions are payable?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONMen who, on conclusion of treatment in a sanatorium, undergo a prescribed course of extended treatment combined with training in a training colony, are awarded pension at the 100 per cent, rate for six months from the date of leaving the colony, and subsequently at not less than the 50 per cent, rate for a further period of two years. These awards are conditional on the pensioner attending for medical examination when so required and on his carrying out any further treatment recommended.
