APPENDIX A. 388 —— 9. Tt will be seen that we have related the charges arising under the new proposals to the expected number of claims for maternity benefit. We understand, however, that charges in respect of certain of the items of medical service would arise in cases of miscarriage, particularly where there is no present liability to provide medical benefit. We have made enquiries as to the probable weight of these charges, and are advised that relatively to the total number of cases they are likely to be few in number and are expected to involve a very small addition to the total cost. We deem it unnecessary, therefore, to make specific provision for this factor, regard being had to the small margins which are likely to arise in respect of other elements in the cost of the scheme. 10. While we have found ourselves able to supply a reasonably close estimate of the cost of the proposed new services on the aggregate resources of the Approved Societies, we have become impressed in the course of our work by the fact that difficult administrative problems are involved in the scheme and that the methods adopted for the solution of these must to some extent affect its financial incidence. We have shown that as between different types of cases, e.g., where the husband of an insured woman is himself insured or is not insured, there are considerable differences in the liabilities respectively falling upon particular societies. There are, however, no records in the system of National Health Insurance with reference to the insurable status of spouses, and it is not easy to see how in these circumstances the total charges can be distributed equitably between the different societies. Whether the distribution should be effected on some approximate basis, or whether an exact distribution should be attempted seems to involve the question whether widespread enquiries as to the insured status of wives and hushands of insured persons could be undertaken with the hope of success and without prohibitive cost. We cannot ourselves pursue this point further, but submit it to the Royal Commission as one which would have to be dealt with if the projected extension of services were undertaken. 11. One other point in connection with this reference remains to be mentioned. It has been assumed that an insured married woman is to bo entitled to medical benefit throughout the period of pregnancy. In fact, the woman in “Class K ” is entitled to maternity benefit on her frst confinement after marriage if it occurs within two years of the date of marriage, while her title to medical benefit runs to a particular 30th June or 3lst December, as dictated by the date on which she ceased to be employed, and may therefore cease in some cases before her confinement. We understand it to be intended that the new services would be available for all women at present entitled to maternity benefit while in ¢ Class K »’; it would, therefore, seem that the provisions of the Act as to medical benefit in these cases should be examined. We are, My Lord, Your obedient Servants, ArrrEp W. Warsox (Chairman). A. D. BusanT. Louis E. CrINTON. ArrrED HENRY. R. G. MAUDLING. M. B. Kxowres (Secretary). 18th December, 1925.
