' ' ALL ' ' LEGISLATION CONCERNING THE BRANCHES OF SOCIAL SECURITY SET OUT FROM ( A ) TO ( H ), IT IS APPROPRIATE TO HOLD THAT REGULATION NO 1408/71 INCLUDES AMONGST SICKNESS AND MATERNITY BENEFITS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 4 ( 1 ) ( A ) ALL BENEFITS PROVIDED IN THE CASE OF SICKNESS AND MATERNITY INCLUDING HEALTH CARE , WHATEVER THE TYPE OF SOCIAL LEGISLATION OR WHATEVER BENEFITS ARE PROVIDED , AS LONG AS THE LEGISLATION IN QUESTION RELATES TO A BRANCH OF SOCIAL SECURITY WHICH CONCERNS THEM .
9 THEREFORE THE ANSWER TO THE FIRST QUESTION SHOULD BE THAT THE WORDS ' ' SICKNESS AND MATERNITY ' ' BENEFITS WITHIN THE MEANING OF ARTICLE 4 ( 1 ) ( A ) AND CHAPTER 1 OF TITLE III OF REGULATION NO 1408/71 MUST BE INTERPRETED AS INCLUDING BENEFITS UNDER LEGISLATION CONCERNING INVALIDITY WHICH ARE IN THE NATURE OF MEDICAL OR SURGICAL BENEFITS .
( B ) THE SECOND QUESTION
10 FROM THE EXPLANATIONS GIVEN BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE CENTRALE RAAD VAN BEROEP REFERRED TO ABOVE IT APPEARS THAT THAT COURT WISHES TO KNOW BY ITS SECOND QUESTION WHETHER , IF THE DISPUTED BENEFITS ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS SICKNESS AND MATERNITY BENEFITS WITHIN THE MEANING OF ARTICLE 4 ( 1 ) ( A ) OF REGULATION NO 1408/71 , THAT REGULATION , AND IN PARTICULAR ARTICLES 19 AND 28 ( 1 ), MUST BE INTERPRETED AS MEANING THAT THE COMPETENT INSTITUTION OF A MEMBER STATE DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO GRANT BENEFITS OF A MEDICAL OR SURGICAL NATURE TO THE RECIPIENT OF AN INVALIDITY PENSION DRAWN UNDER THE LEGISLATION OF THAT STATE WHO RESIDES IN A MEMBER STATE OTHER THAN THE COMPETENT STATE , OR IF ON THE CONTRARY , THE SAID REGULATION DOES NOT PRECLUDE THE SAID BENEFITS FROM BEING GRANTED TO SUCH AN INSURED PERSON WHEN THE GRANTING OF THAT BENEFIT IS PERMITTED IN PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES BY THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SOCIAL LEGISLATION .
11 THE ESSENTIAL OBJECT OF REGULATION NO 1408/71 ADOPTED UNDER ARTICLE 51 OF THE TREATY IS TO ENSURE THAT SOCIAL SECURITY SCHEMES GOVERNING WORKERS IN EACH MEMBER STATE MOVING WITHIN THE COMMUNITY ARE APPLIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH UNIFORM COMMUNITY CRITERIA . TO THIS END IT LAYS DOWN A WHOLE SET OF RULES FOUNDED IN PARTICULAR UPON THE PROHIBITION OF DISCRIMINATION ON GROUNDS OF NATIONALITY OR RESIDENCE AND UPON THE MAINTENANCE BY A WORKER OF HIS RIGHTS ACQUIRED BY VIRTUE OF ONE OR MORE SOCIAL SECURITY SCHEMES WHICH ARE OR HAVE BEEN APPLICABLE TO HIM . TO INTERPRET REGULATION NO 1408/71 AS PROHIBITING NATIONAL LEGISLATION TO GRANT A WORKER SOCIAL SECURITY BROADER THAN THAT PROVIDED BY THE APPLICATION OF THE SAID REGULATION WOULD THEREFORE BE GOING BEYOND THAT OBJECTIVE , AND ALSO OUTSIDE THE PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF ARTICLE 51 .
12 NOR DOES SUCH AN INTERPRETATION GATHER ANY SUPPORT FROM EITHER THE LETTER OR THE SPIRIT OF ARTICLES 19 AND 28 ( 1 ) OF REGULATION NO 1408/71 . ARTICLE 19
