two areas on as close a basis as is practicable, should be made (paragraphs 33 to 37). 7. We discuss in our Report certain administrative matters regarding the payment and collection of contributions. We think that under suitable agency arrangements the crediting of contributions in each Insurance Fund concerned could be economically and efficiently carried out in the case of societies operating in more than one area. Further, in our view it will not be necessary for societies to duplicate their contribution registers (paragraphs 22 and 54). 8. A recommendation is made to the effect that the existing arrangements as to audit and valuation should be continued under the authority of section 63 of the Government of Ireland Act (paragraph 50). 9. A list of matters which appear to us to require adaptation under an Order in Council is appended to our Report, attention being drawn in the body of the Report to such of these as relate to matters of important principle (Appendix A and paragraphs 42 to 46). Subsequent to the completion of the Report the "appointed day" for the transfer of the service of National Health Insurance (Northern Ireland) was postponed from 1st January, 1922, to 1st March, 1922, by an Order in Council dated 22nd December, 1921. The Report should accordingly be read as subject to this modification. APPENDIX A. Note.
