This was the first time the State took contributions from the public towards medical care.<ref name="sc_insuranceact"/> Friendly societies and trade unions were given a major role in administering health insurance, which increased National Friendly’s membership.<ref name="cordery_2003_friendlysocieties"/><ref name="beveridge_2015_voluntaryaction"/>
