HC Deb 22 May 1924 vol 173 c2436W
Captain BOWYER

asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to the increasing number of persons being admitted into the guardians' institutions who are entitled to receive benefits under the National Health Insurance Act; and will he so amend that Act as to enable guardians to claim an equitable amount of benefit in order that the money can be appropriated towards the cost of the patient's maintenance?

Mr. WHEATLEY

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which I gave on 6th May to the hon. Member for Chelmsford (Mr. S. Robinson) in answer to a similar question.
