THE INSURANCE ACT.
GOVERNMENT GRANTS FURTHER
CONCESSIONS
BY CABLE—PEESS ASSOCIATION-COPYRIGHT. LONDON, Oct. 24. Mr Lloyd George says that, including extras and arrangements for the treatment of tuberculosis, the Government proposed to assure doctors 7s per head of the insured population. One shilling and sixpence is to be assigned to drugs, and the extra sixpence assigned to drugs would be added to the remuneration of doctors if the drugs were not required. The exchequer will defray £16,500. If there are abnormal circumstances the central fund will make a special grant for drugs. Sir James Barr, president of the British Medical Association, states that Mr Lloyd George's terms may form the basis of an agreement, but the problem is not entirely a monetary one.
