Report On Medical School Attacked
(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, June 29. A report from the chairman of the University Grants Committee (Dr. F. J. Llewellyn) that planning for the Auckland medical school was progressing quite reasonably was “a mild flirtation with reality,” said Mr C. F. E. Hindmarsh, a member of the Auckland Hospital Board tonight.
Commenting on Dr. Llewellyn’s statement that the medical school “could not be forced,” Mr Hindmarsh said it certainly would be forced if there was a political crisis And nothing would bring about a political crisis quicker than a shortage of doctors, he said.
“This shortage is approaching rapidly,” said Mr Hindmarsh. “And Dr. Llewellyn
will be told to shift quick when the crisis occurs.” The chairman of the board (Mr T. H. C. Caughey) said he had already asked the bdard’s officers to report on the numbers of house surgeons needed by the board after 1970. “The urgency of the situation regarding our future requirements of doctors,” he said, “is directly associated with the early establishment o f the medical school.”
