Insurance Committee shall be entitled to sanatorium benefit; but that, if
so recommended, the Insurance Committee may not only pay the expenses
of conveyance to or from a sanatorium of the patient, but may “extend
sanatorium benefit to the dependants of such a patient."
Section 64 (4) lays down that:—
An Insurance Committee may, with the consent of the
Insurance Commissioners, enter into agreements with any person or
authority (other than a Poor Law authority) that, in consideration
of such person or authority providing treatment in a sanatorium or
other institution or otherwise for persons recommended by the
Committee for sanatorium benefit, the Committee will contribute,
out of the funds available for sanatorium benefit towards the
maintenance of the institution or provision of such treatment, such
annual or other payment, and subject to such conditions and for
such period as may be agreed, and any such agreement shall be
binding on the Committee and their successors, and any sums
payable by the Committee thereunder may be paid by the
Insurance Commissioners and deducted from the sums payable to
the Committee for the purpose of sanatorium benefit.
