MAJORITY REPORT. Statement (Appendix XT.IT) it may be inferred that, while this long-established system works successfully, he feels there may be room for some closer relationship between the medical work of his Department and the other medical activities of the local bodies and of the Insurance practitioners. But while the problems of ill-health in factories have, no doubt, some relation to the general sanitary conditions of the area and to the work of the ordinary practitioners, we understand that there are strong arguments for retaining the existing close connexion between the medical and the technical inspection of factories. In reply to questions on this matter, Mr Brock expressed the view of the Ministry of Health as follows : ““ Tt was felt that the practical difficulty of transferring medical inspection of factories to the Ministry arose from the impossibility of divorcing it from the general work of factory inspection. In practice it would be very difficult to separate the medical side from questions of Workmen's Compensation and from the lay factory inspection as distinct from the medical inspection.” (Q. 24188). “‘I think the medical inspection of factories involves so many questions of a technical and not wholly medical character that it would be very difficult to separate it from the general provision for factory inspection.’ (Q. 24.184.) THE CONTRIBUTORY PENSIONS ScrpME, 48. As to the relations of the Health Insurance Scheme to the arrangements under the Widows’, Orphans’ and Old Age Contributory Pensions Act recently passed little need be said. The provisions for the joint stamp and joint collection of con. tributions are matters of machinery. On the benefit side the two schemes stand quite apart. The age limit for contributions and cash benefits under the Health Insurance Scheme is to be lowered from 70 to 65 as from January, 1998, and the weekly contribution payable is accordingly reduced by 1d. in the case of men and 4d. in the case of women. Medical benefit, as before, does not cease when the insured person's rights to cash benefits under the Act are terminated at 65, but continues throughout the remainder of life. WoRkrMEN’Y COMPENSATION. 49. The payment of benefit to persons in receipt of com- pensation under the Workmen's Compensation Acts is dealt with in Section 16 of the National Health Insurance Act of 1924. If the weekly value or weekly rate of the compensation received is equal to or exceeds the weekly rate of Health Insurance benefit to which the insured person would otherwise be entitled, no benefit is payable. If if is less only the difference ig payable. Lump sum compensations are to be translated into weekly
