Dated 17th November, 1927.


The Irish Insurance Commissioners in exercise of the powers conferred on them by the National Health Insurance Acts, 1911 to 1926, and of all other powers enabling them on that behalf, do hereby, with the concurrence of the Minister for Local Government and Public Health, make the following Regulations:—

1. These Regulations may be cited as the National Health Insurance (Arrears) Amendment Regulations, 1927,* and these Regulations and the Regulations referred to in Article 1 of the National Health Insurance (Arrears) Amendment Regulations (No. 2), 1926 (S.R. and O., 1926, No. 75), may be cited together as the National Health Insurance (Arrears) Regulations, 1921 to 1927.

2. Notwithstanding anything contained in Articles 11 and 12 of the National Health Insurance (Arrears) Regulations, 1921, hereinafter referred to as the Principal Regulations, in the case of the contribution year ending on the 3rd day of July, 1927, the period of grace shall be the period up to and including the 30th day of November, 1927, or, in the case of employed contributors, such longer period as the Irish Insurance Commissioners may in any particular case determine, and the date before which notices of arrears must be sent or delivered shall be the 1st day of October, 1927, and those Articles shall have effect as regards the contribution year ending on the 3rd day of July, 1927, accordingly.

* These Regulations supersede the Provisional Regulations entitled the National Health Insurance (Arrears) Amendment Regulations which were made and came into force on the 6th September, 1927.

3. For the purposes of Article 7 of the Principal Regulations, an employed contributor who entered into Insurance not later than the 5th day of July, 1926, and remained continuously in insurance up to and including the 3rd day of July, 1927, and by or in respect of whom less than 26 contributions were paid for the contribution year ending on the 3rd day of July, 1927, shall, if the society of which he is a member is satisfied on evidence furnished by him, or if in the case of a dispute it is decided in manner provided by the Acts, that during the weeks of the said contribution year for which no contributions were paid he was, except when incapable of work by reason of some specific disease or some bodily or mental disablement, available for, but unable to obtain, employment, be treated as though the number of contributions paid by or in respect of him during the said contribution year had been 26.

4. Unless by reason of special circumstances the Irish Insurance Commissioners may otherwise determine in any particular case, Article 3 of these Regulations shall not apply to any member until contribution cards to which stamps have been duly affixed in respect of any period of employment comprised in the contribution year ending on the 3rd day of July, 1927, have been surrendered by him to the society.

Given under the Official Seal of the Irish Insurance Commissioners this 17th day of November in the year One thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven.
