OZ MAJORITY REPORT. of the insurance medical service and speaking of the work of the insurance practitioner he says :— “ The work is carried out under certain disadvantages, chief among which is the lack of co-ordination between the services of the insurance doctor and those of workers who have devoted intensive study to special provinces of the great territory of medical practice. The inclusion of such consultant services becomes more and more requisite year by year and is one of the most pressing of present needs. When the insurance medical service shall have been com- pleted by being brought into organic relation with other branches of medical work as part of a comprehensive scheme of medical services, and not until then, will its full capacity for public usefulness be made manifest.’ 66. We have devoted some space to this question, not only because we think it is of the highest importance in the Scheme as 1t stands and in relation to the various and widely different proposals for extension and reform which have been put forward, but also because we feel that it raises a cognate question of great difficulty. Tf medical benefit were thus extended for the present insured class, we are forced to consider the position of those persons of moderate means who are somewhat above the present income limit for insurance purposes but to whom the payment of a specialist’s or consultant’s fees is never- theless a serious matter. Tt is assumed, probably rightly, that such persons can reasonably be expected to meet charges for general practitioner treatment, and are there- fore properly excluded from the Scheme in its present form. But in respect of major operations and similar services, for which it is usually necessary that the patient should be an inmate of a hospital or similar institution, it might with reason be contended that the claim which could be advanced on behalf of some of these persons to be protected by some form of State insurance against the risks involved is scarcely, if at all, less valid than the claim of certain of the insured population, and that to provide a full specialist service for the insured, while leaving these adjacent classes to their own resources would bring about a position diffi- cult to justify on grounds of public policy. This point of view was put before us by the National Association of Trade Union Approved Societies, who submitted ‘‘ that if the difficulties con- nected with the collection of contributions can be surmounted, medical benefit should be available to persons not employed within the meaning of the Act, whose total income does not exceed £350 a year, and that medical benefit other than general prac- titioner treatment should be provided for persons whose income exceeds £350 a year, but does not exceed a higher figure to be determined later. . . . .” (App. XCII, 102.) We desire to emphasise in the present discussion of the scope of medical benefit the problem of specialist services for the non-insured of
