THE PENSIONS MINISTRY
THE PENSIONS MINISTRY A very important statement was made in the House on Tuesday by Mr Hodge, Minister of Pensions. Mr Hodge ia the course of his speech reviewed the work of his Department and said that the staft now numbered 6,200, and was rapidly growing, because the number of names added to the books weekly: averaged something like 15,000. Mr: Hodge also took exception to the designation "Ministry of Pensions. It was not, he said, a very accurate description of the function of the Min- istry. It, was too wide in the sense that they did not deal with all pensions and too narrow because the work of the Ministry included restoration and re-education. His difficulties were in- creasing because his staff was scattered over twenty-three different buildings- Mr. Hodge described how the Medical Service Department had been started and how it had developed, expressing the hope that there would be an ortho- paedic clinic in every town, aind also- touching on the work of the laboratory; where new inventions were examined. Not only did they hope to provide arti- ficial limbs, but also to repair those in use. An outdoor staff was engaged going to the Pensions Committees assisting and guiding them in their deliberations, and of the fifty inspectors so appointed thirty were disabled men Proceeding, Mr. Hodge.touched on the question of training disabled men, stating that it was arguable how far the Ministry should go in setting up those men in business. Generally speaking, they went on the principle of giving at least £ 10 for the purchase 6f tools. Mr. Hodge also referred to the gift by Major Grant of a home for recovery and rest in Scotland, and he added that it remained to be seen whether Welshmen would be as gener- ous in this matter as the Scotch. There need noi^»e much doubt in the mind of the Pension Minister on this point. At the proper time Wales will not be behind in looking after its men who return, but it is questionable whether it is policy just now to further saddle the Pension Staff with more /ork, even in the gift of a home for recovery and rest* for correspondence on quite simple matters frequently does not secure a reply for. three weeks. An interesting return was that showing the percentage of injuries and' 2d very ,regrettable feature was the large percentage of chest complaints and tuberculosis, this being the highest apart from "wounds to legs not necessitating amputation and "miscellaneous diseases." Insanity is as low as .75 per cent, but heart disease accounted for ten per cent. Another very important matter, and one which brought from Mr. Hodge something of his old style, was the exploitation of disabled men, and he expressed a hope that a Bill might be passed in the House with regard to this matter.: Mr. Hodge would do well to keep this point before the House and his staff might make some -enquiry in the various counties. The sixty out-door in- spectors could secure plenty of first- hand evidence very much more easily than the local committees. The danger of exploitation must not be confused with cases where men are taken by employers under the training scheme which the Ministry has launched. The employer under this scheme pays only a nominal wage during the period of training, but the man secures a standard rtte from the Board. Any exploitation would come at the end of his period of training, and this is a matter which the Federation of Dis- charged Soldiers and Sailors should be able to deal with easily- Trade unions also came in for a word of praise for adapting their arrangements to meet cases of discharged men, and whilst it was policy for Mr. Hodge to pay this tribute, it was really unnecessary, be- cause the workers are not likely to forget what was done for them by their fellows. Certain technical difficulties had to be met, but these have been met in a proper spirit, and the training schemes are proceeding on the right lines. It is striking and unfortunate that during the time this statement was being made there were not forty mem- bers present to hear it. Some very pointed criticism was forthcoming from Mr. Hogge and one or two other mem- bers, but the critics have to remember that a great work of this character must take some time and that mistakes will still be made. On the facts put before the House it would appear that satisfactory progress is being achieved. It is for the leaders in public life to take an interest in these matters, and see that the men and women in their localities receive what is due to them. Letters to the Ministry are unneces- sary. Local officials can always deal with cases, but what is urgently needed is that men in public life should act as advisers to widows and orphans and' disabled men and that they should; by systematic study, make themselves conversant" with the work and the duties of the Ministry, and with the tights. of the people.
