DOCTORS’ PAY
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) LONDON, May 25. A new deal for British doctors had averted the danger of a mass walkout of practitioners from the Health Service, the “Daily Express” correspondent. Chapman Pincher, reported.
The Government had agreed to all the main demands made by the British Medical Association two months ago. Those demands had been put to the Minister of Health, Mr Kenneth Robinson, in the form of an ultimatum. The doctors would get what amounted to a substantial pay rise. The system on which they were paid would be reorganised in a way that would be certain to give most of them a more direct salary. The doctors would also be given direct grants which they would not have to pay back. They could afford to employ nurses and secretaries.
