NOT RETURNING TO N.Z.
SCHOLARSHIP HOLDERS. TRAINING IX OBSTETRICS. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) HAMILTON, Thursday. The fact that for some time past anxiety had been occasioned by the failure of the holders of the obstetric sliolarship to return to Xew Zealand after receiving, a very thorough training in obstetrics ami gynaecology in Australia and tJreat. Britain, was mentioned in a Jetter received by the Waikato Hospital Board to-day from the DirectorGeneral of Health.'Dr. M. H. Watt. "It is evident there is not enough inducement offered to medii-al men ]«>ssessiug this higher qualification to return to the Dominion and make that branch of medical work their specialty," added the letter. "It is felt that if part-time salaried appointments could be offered in centres where our larger maternity hospitals are located it would prove a definite attraction to such men."' A recommendation was passed to the effect that, if an obstetrician with sj>ecial qualiticaiou£ commenced practice in Hamilton the board would be glad to avail itself of his services at the Campbell Johnstone ward.
