CARE OF THE SICK.
b.m.a. scheme. Rugby, April 27. The Council of the British Aiedieal Association has lint, forward for discussion its scheme for general medical service for the nation. The scheme would provide all except 'institutional services by means of a national contributory insurance scheme, including on a compulsory basis not only till insured persons as at present defined, but nil dependants of such persons, all voluntary insured persons and their dependants, and other persons of: small means at present: outside the insured system, as well as patients formerly treated under the poor Law. Contributions in the last-named class would come from the responsible local authority. Whilst, hospital service would not be included under the Compulsory Insurance Scheme, voluntary contributory schemes for this service are suggested. II is urged that payment of all visiting staffs of hospitals, specialists, consultants, surgeons, and doctors is essential, as, in future, hospitals will increasingly be used not only for the sick poor for whom they were originally intended, but; by all classes.
It is suggested that the effect of payment of specialists for hospital work will lie to reduce fees for private work.
