MAJORITY REPORT. 193 CHAPTER XIII MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS. 450. In this Chapter we propose to bring together and discuss a large number of suggestions which we have received in the course of our inquiry, directed towards various modifications in the existing scheme of National Health Insurance. In dealing with a measure so complex as the subject of our investigation has proved to be, bearing so intimately on the daily life of almost every member of the community in one way or another, and so closely related to every aspect of social legislation, it was only to be expected that there should be a vast number of proposals for amendment of one or other of the many sections of the Act or of the regulations made thereunder. Some of these proposals are in their way directed to fundamental points of principle ; a few may appear to relate rather to matters of administrative detail. In bringing them together for discussion in this Chapter we desire to guard ourselves against any suggested implication that these matters, being of a miscellaneous are therefore of an unimportant character.

The subjects dealt with are classified under the following ten main headings :— A.—Persons to be included in the Scheme. B.—Payment of Contributions. C.—Administration of the Cash Benefits.
