24 MAJORITY REPORT. CHAPTER XIV. SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOM- MENDATIONS. In this Chapter we give a summary of the conclusions at which we have arrived and the recommendations which we submit. The numbers of the relative paragraphs of the Report are given for convenience of reference. (FENERAL. (1) That National Health Insurance has established its position as a permanent feature of the social system in this country, and should be continued on its present compulsory and contributory basis subject to the various changes recommended helow. (para. 28.) PERSONS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE SCHEME. (2) That to the persons at present required to be insured as employed contributors should be added persons engaged in employment under a contract for the performance of manual labour for the purpose of any trade or business except in so far as such employment may be excluded by a Special Order. (paras. 464-468.) (8) That except for the addition of the class referred to in (2) above, there should be no change, either in respect of the age limits or the rate of remuneration test or otherwise, with regard to the persons required to be insured as employed contributors or allowed to be insured as voluntary contributors. (paras. 456- 463. 474.) REVENUE OF THE SCHEME. (4) That the revenue of the Scheme should continue to be derived from contributions from insured persons and (in the case of employed persons) their employers, together with a payment from the National Exchequer of a proportionate part of the cost of the benefits and of their administration. (paras. 28 and 153.) (5) That the cost of the central administration of the Scheme should continue to be a charge on the Exchequer. (para. 153.) (6) That beyond the payment of the proportionate part of the cost of benefits and administration and the cost of super- vision by the Central Departments, there should be no charge on the Exchequer in respect of National Health Insurance.
