PART FIVE Related Social Services 57. Family Allowances. This scheme, which began in August 1946, provides 5s. a week for every child in a family after the first, within age limits that are laid down. You can get claim forms and details of the scheme from your local National Insurance Office or from any Post Office. 58. The National Health Service. Part of the money you pay in contributions to the National Insurance Scheme goes towards the cost of the National Health Service, which also starts on 5th July 1948. The National Health Service will be available to every man, woman and child in the country, whether or not they are insured, and without any qualifying conditions. It will provide you and your family with free medical, hospital, dental and eye advice and treatment. The National Health Service Scheme is administered by the Ministry of Health (in Scotland, the Department of Health). 59. National Assistance. There will inevitably be a number of people who will not be covered by National Insurance. Especially in the early days of the new Scheme, some will not have paid enough contributions to be able to draw Retirement Pension or other benefits, while others will have special needs not fully met by their insurance. To give financial help to these people the Government is providing the new National Assistance Scheme. This also will begin to operate on 5th July 1948, so that from the outset National Assistance will always stand behind National Insurance for those in need. IMPORTANT.— This Guide is a general outline to help you to understand how the Scheme will work. It must not be taken as an authoritative interpretation of the Law. 31 51-3460a
