Abstract:
There are approximately 500,000 persons in the State engaged in
gainful occupation either as manual workers or as clerical workers
with a rate of remuneration not exceeding #250 per annum. This
bulk may be taken as a representative group and is the only particularised
group in the nation in which it is possible to measure from
existing data the incidence of sickness and disease in the working
population.
This is the first time that any figures of the incidence of sickness
of those insured under the National Health Insurance Acts have been
made available. It would probably be advisable at the outset to
explain the source of the information, the type of member dealt with
and other similar details. Who are these 500,000 and whence comes
this particular information?
