72.
asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will take steps to ensure that provision is made for the payment of full hospital and medical expenses incurred in workmen's compensation cases.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to answer Questions Nos. 71 and 72 together. Until I have had an opportunity of considering the recommendations of the Commission on Workmen's Compensation whose Report has just been presented to me it is not proposed to alter any feature of the existing scheme.
