ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with the changes in the Mutual Assistance Association La Conciliacion from the end of the Spanish Civil War until the disappearance of the association in 1984. In Spain, when Social Security was begun, Mutual Assistance Associations and montepios participated in the designing this insurance: at least they gave their opinions, and a gradual transfer of the members of this association to the state healthcare system was even considered. The 'Sociedad Protectora de Obreros La Conciliation' was founded in Pamplona in 1902, as a mixed society, made up by worker, employer and protector members with labour, healthcare and economic objectives. At the start, La Conciliation was governed by the so-called Mixed Board with eighteen members, six from each group. The Board of the Society believed the inspector's labour to be so necessary as, in January 1934, to employ a provisional 'visitor' because Sr. Arrastia has been unwell for a time and there was no-one to inspect the patients.
