Workmen's Compensation (Accidents) Convention, 1925 (No. 17) - Bahamas (Ratification: 1976)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with satisfaction the new section 55A of the National Insurance (Benefit and Assistance) Regulations, inserted by the amendment of 1998, which provides for an additional amount equal to 20 per cent of the disablement benefit to be paid to persons with disablement assessed at 100 per cent and requiring constant care and attendance, thus ensuring better application of Article 7 of the Convention.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
