MEDICAL BENEFITS
UNDER SOCIAL SECURITY SCHEME. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A statement that the position in regard to the country might make the medical benefits under the Social Security Act almost imperative in due course was made by the Prime Minister (Mr Fraser) in the House of Representatives last evening. He said that increased civil budget expenditure of £2.340,000 was to a great extent associated with the social security benefits. Mr Kyle (Opposition, Riccarton): “What about the medical benefits the people have not got?” Mr Fraser replied that if Mr Kyle was prepared to help to put the benefits into operation his assistance would be welcomed. Mr Coates (Opposition, Kaipara): “You have no objection to their standing over till after the war?” Mr Fraser said the introduction might be almost imperative in due course. It all. depended on whether the people’s health was to be adequately looked after. "Surely that is a war measure, too,” commented Mr Frost (Government. New Plymouth).
