146 MAJORITY REPORT. CHAPTER XII CONSIDERATION OF CERTAIN MAJOR PROBLEMS. 327. Our proposals up to this point have absorbed the financial resources which we consider to be available for extensions of any magnitude, viz., the margin in the contribution not actuarially required to support the statutory benefits and the proceeds of the scheme for partial pooling of surpluses which we have proposed in Chapter IX. We now pass on to consider six ques- tions of substantial importance. Some of these do not involve large financial considerations, others do; and where such large financial considerations are in question, we are for that very reason compelled to advise delay in making fundamental changes. 328. The six problems dealt with in sections of this Chapter, are as follows :— SEoTION A.—The extension and consolidation of the maternity services ; B.—The promotion of dental benefit to the status of a complete and generally available benefit ; C.—The provision of medical benefit to the dependants of insured persons; D.—The transfer of the powers and duties of Insurance Committees to the Tiocal Authorities ; E.—The improvement of the position of deposit contributors who cannot secure admission to Approved Societies ; and F.—The remuneration of the insurance prac- titioners and the machinery for dealing with complaints against them. a We take these problems in that order. SECTION A—MATERNITY SERVICES 329. In Chapter V we have considered at some length the general problems of a maternity service, especially on its medical side, and have reviewed the evidence which has been placed before us. We have indicated the direction in which we think such a service should develop so that on the one hand all the medical provision will become an integral part of a co-ordinated medical service; and on the other the money benefit will take ils place among the cash provisions under whatever system of insurance is then in being.
