MAJORITY REPORT. if) Maternity and Child Welfare service is subject in certain aspects of its work to a means test, but in other branches it is generally available to all who may care to make use of its facilities. 1387. On a general survey of these instances it is possible wo recognise a guiding principle running through the differences Certain of the services are conducted not only in the interests of the individual but perhaps even more fundamentally for the general well-being of the community. Others again are of a much more personal kind and in these the interests of the individual constitute the sole end, and not merely an end inci- dentally promoted in seeking the public good. In the latter class of case where the interests of the. individual are the dominant consideration, payment may legitimately be required of the individual if his financial circumstances so warrant. On the other hand, in the former type of case where in any event the general interests of the public would dictate the ex- pediency of not leaving the individual unattended, it might be inappropriate to call upon the individual to defray the whole, or indeed any part of the cost incurred in respect of the service rendered to him. But we may suggest that this distinction, like the general distinction between public health and the health of the individual, from which it arises, is one on which, as time goes on, it must become increasingly difficult to insist. GENERAL CONCLUSION 138. We have mentioned these problems in a general way because, although they are not of immediate practical importance, we feel sure that sooner or later they must be faced. Having indicated our views on the need for effective co-ordination of all the health services, whether at the centre or in the local administration, it is sufficient to leave particular problems, and especially those of a financial character, to be solved in the light of the developments of that considerable period which must elapse before full effect can be given to the general principles we have enunciated. In the circumstances of that time, financial considerations may have emerged, and social conditions may have changed, in a way that is difficult to forecast, and anything we may say now must necessarily be thus qualified. But, if we may venture to pronounce on this malter, we are of opinion that the difficulties of a composite support to a completed medical service from insurance funds as well as from grants and rates would be so considerable alike in their financial, administrative and social aspects that some more practical solution must be sought. In particular we feel sure that the wider the scope of these services, the more difficult will it be to retain the insurance principle. The ultimate solution will lie, we think, in the direction of divorcing the medical service en- tirely from the insurance system and recognising it along with
