MAJORITY REPORT. 161 benefits, and as the greater efficiency of the treatment would in the long run tend to conserve the Benefit Funds, we think it only fair that a substantial proportion of the cost of the Regional Dental staff, if it is established, should, as in the case of the Regional Medical staff, be borne by the Approved Societies concerned. SECTION C.—EXTENSION OF MEDICAL BENEFIT TO THE DEPENDANTS OF INSURED PERSONS. THE QUESTION OF COST. 366. Two important and independent considerations arise when we approach this problem. In the first place there is the question of cost, which on any reasonably safe assumptions must be very considerable and must necessarily at this stage be dependent upon a number of factors difficult to estimate with any accuracy. 367. The terms upon which the medical profession would be prepared to undertake the service would necessarily have to be a matter of negotiation, and it might happen that if an initial rate were agreed actual experience might lead to a demand for its revision. Such an extension of medical benefit would bring in two classes of persons who require to be considered separately, (1) the uninsured wives of insured men, and (2) children up to the age of entry into insurance. Broadly speaking, married women may be expected to require more attendances than the average of insured men. Children up to the age of about three would also require more attendances than men ; but children from three to sixteen would probably require considerably less, partly because many of the ailments of most frequent occurrence during school ages are those for which provision is made through other Health Services, e.g., infectious diseases and the minor ailments dealt with by the School Medical Service. In any event, the doctors would not have to undertake any certification duties in the case of dependants. 368. From investigations made by the Ministry of Labour it would appear that for every insured man the number of depen- dants is on the average 1-5, and for every insured woman 15, making the total number of dependants 15% millions, or slightly more than the total number of insured persons. We may divide these dependants into the two groups indicated by the conclusions in the preceding paragraph (1) children above the age of three, and (2) children under the age of three and uninsured married women. In the former group the amount of medical attendance which would be required would be less than the average for in- sured persons generally, while in the latter it would be more. On the whole, it would not be unfair to assume that the doctors could afford to take the risk of all the dependants at the present
