 The 1911 Act only allowed Approved Societies to collect the contributions of their members; they could not keep the money, but had to forward it to the National Insurance Fund.The societies' own expenditure, such as the cost of treatment for their members, would be reimbursed by the Fund, on a six-monthly basis.The government did not reimburse any "improper" payments, such as "treatments" that did not comply with government regulations, or corrupt payments.
