MEDICAL ASSOCIATION REENGAGES DOCTOR
PETITION BY MINERS AT STOCKTON (P.A.) WESTPORT, June 12. Dr. J. D. Simpson, medical officer to the Ngakawau Medical Association for 35 years, whose appointment was terminated because of the social security legislation, has decided to carry on as the result of .an extensive petition signed by practically every miner concerned. The position was extremely serious, as without a medical man, more than 500 miners would have downed tools.
Dr. Simpson was given three months’ notice by the NgakawauStockton Medical Association to force him to work under the social security legislation, which he refused to do. Dr. Simpson has decided to continue under his old agreement. He will be employed by the medical association and not under the social security legislation., • The Minister for Health (the Hon. A. H. Nordmeyer) has been apprised of the settlement.
