1 1.0 MAJORITY REPORT. i INQUIRY INTO ADMINISTRATION, 242. We come now to the question of conferring on the Central Departments power to deal with cases of defective administration on the part of Approved Societies where the defects alleged are not of such a grave character as to amount to general maladministration and could not, therefore, be appropriately dealt with under the provisions relating to withdrawal of approval. In these circumstances we consider that the Depart- ment should be empowered at any time to hold an inquiry into the methods of administration of a Society where there is a prima facie reason for believing that the administration is deficient in any respect. If, as the result of such an inquiry it is established that the standard of administration of the Society is unsatisfactory, the Minister should be authorised to require the Society to introduce such reforms as may be necessary, and if, after due warning has been given to the Society, reforni is not effected, the Minister should be empowered to order such a reduction as he may think fit in the amount which the Society may be allowed to appropriate towards the cost of its administration. Inasmuch as the normal administration allowance is fixed in relation to a proper standard of adminis- tration, we consider it to be entirely proper that the rate should be reduced where the administration falls short of that standard. We further recommend that if, notwithstanding the imposition of the suggested penalty in the form of a reduction of the administration allowance, a Society still refuses or is unable to bring its administration up to a proper standard of efficiency, the case should be treated as one of maladministration justifying recourse to the procedure for withdrawal of approval. CONTROL OF EXPENDITURE. 243. The next point in which we consider that the powers of the Central Departments require to be strengthened is to be found in the method of dealing with improper expenditure by Approved Societies. All expenditure by Societies and Insurance Committees out of National Health Insurance funds is subject to audit by auditors appointed by the Treasury. There is, how- ever, this important distinction, that whereas in the case of Insurance Committees the auditor has power to disallow and surcharge any item of expenditure which he considers to be liproper, or not in accordance with the provisions of the Act and Regulations, he is not vested with this power in relation to the audit of Approved Societies’ accounts and can only deal with cases of improper expenditure by way of a reservation in his report on those accounts. Any such reservation is brought to the notice of the Central Department who communicate on the metter with the Society concerned in order to secure, if such a course is reasonable or practicable, the repayment into the
