When introduced in the House of Representatives, the Commonwealth would pay states 6d per day for each public ward bed to offset lost patient fees, with maintenance grants equal to prior fee levels from 1942–44. The same daily rate applies to intermediate and private ward patients, reducing their fees accordingly, and approved private hospitals may also receive 6d per day.
