SHARE FISHERMEN’S INSURANCE EAST NEUK VIEWS SCHEME WITH FAVOUR

A meeting of importance to share fishermen was held in Cellardyke Town Hall on Saturday evening, when Bailie W. Carstairs presided. Mr Hadden, of the Scottish Board of Health, was present, and gave the fishermen an outline of a proposal to bring share fishermen into the National Health Insurance scheme. Mr  Hadden said they would all recollect that in 1912 and 1913, when there was a proposal afoot to bring in share fishermen to the scheme, it was decided that they were not to be admitted into National Health Insurance. Perhaps that was a regrettable decision, and he hoped that that evening they would not allow anything that had happened in the past to prejudice the present case.

The Contribution. There had been great changes in the situation since 1912, and now the general feeling was that share fishermen would like to be admitted into the scheme. ……………A contribution would be fixed at 1s 6d per week, during such time a share fisherman was employed, and the general contribution covered health and contributory pensions. No one could be a member one without the other.

 Benefits.

As regards benefits to share fishermen, there was difficulty to be met so far as they were often away from home. If, in such circumstances, they required medical treatment, they would receive such treatment from the doctor whatever port they happened to be at. Then there maternity benefit 40s per week, payable after 42 weeks’ contributions to the wife of a share fisherman. A sickness benefit was payable after 26 weeks’ contributions the rate of 9s per week for 26 weeks. When he had been two years insured sickness benefit would go up to 15s per week. A man would be entitled under these circumstances 15s per week for the first 26 weeks and 7s per week thereafter. ………… The widows’ fund pension was  payable to the widow of a contributor once he had been under the Insurance Act for 104 weeks and had paid 104 contributions. If he died immediately after he had paid 104 contributions his was entitled the pension. ………. The widow’s pension was 10s per week. It was entirely independent of any means which the widow might be left might earn, and that payment of 10s per week wont on until the time of her death, provided she did not remarry. Then, for every child under years of ago the widow would receive 5s per week for the eldest and 3s per week for each other child under the age of 14 years. If the child chose to go to school for the full period until he was 16 years of ago the pension was still payable for the child at the same rate. ………..( further lengthy description of the clauses)

…………… . A  show of hands was taken give indication of the feeling Cellardyke on the matter. A majority of the meeting favoured proposal for National Health Insurance for share fishermen, only three being against.
