MEDICAL STANDARD IN N.Z.
HIGHER THAN IN ENGLAND. (By Telegrapß.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Monday. After a long overseas visit Dr. E. H. M. Luke, of Wellington, returned to-day. While attending medical clinics in London and on the Continent Dr. Luke found that the standard of general practice in New Zealand was much higher than in England. There was much more enthusiasm shown, too, by visiting medical men in post-graduate work in Britain than there seemed to be shown by British practitioners. This was perhaps due to the panel system adopted ae the result of the introduction of the national insurance scheme. With a comfortable income assured English doctors no longer had the same incentive as in the more competitive days to improve their knowledge. This was. in -spite of the fact that facilities for post-graduate work had been • greatly improved, especially by the opening of a new post-graduate school in London.
