HD MAJORITY REPORT. (h) In the case of unmarried insured women, no allow- ances should be paid in respect of dependent children, but additions at the rates of 2s. to sickmess benefit and ls. to disablement benefit should be paid in respect of a widowed mother living with the insured person and not having sons to whom she can look for support. (paras. 314-326.) (52) That no change should at present be made in the existing provision for maternity under the Insurance Scheme. (para. 347) (53) That while a complete dental service available to the whole insured population would be an eminently desirable addition to the Insurance Scheme, no such change is financially practicable at present, and that therefore the general arrange- ments for dental services under additional benefit schemes be continued.

(55) That owing to considerations arising from a survey of the development of the various medical services provided or supervised by the State and having regard to the very large cost involved, no extension in the direction of provision of medical benefit for the dependants of insured persons be made. (para. 373.) INSURANCE COMMITTEES. (66) That Insurance Committees be abolished and their powers and duties transferred to committees of the appropriate Tiocal Authorities, such committees to contain possibly a proportion of co-opted members. (para. 396.) REMUNERATION AND CONTROL OF INSURANCE PRACTITIONERS.

(para. 431.) (58) That it is desirable that any settlement of the rate of remuneration of the insurance practitioners should be made valid over a reasonable period of years so as to avoid financial uncer- taintv to both the contracting parties. (para. 428.)
