Doctors back blitz
PA Wellington! i t New Zealand cannot af- i ford drinking drivers, says ; the New Zealand Medical Association. The chairman! (Dr Bryan Jew) said doctors) welcomed the new drinking-] driving blitz just announced by the Government. Dr Jew . said the actual cost on the. health budget of
drinking drivers had been quoted at S4OOM — more than double New Zealand’s annual drug bill. “The N.Z.M.A. believes that a radical reduction in ) drunken driving through the I blitzes would produce more worth-while economies in health spending than trying to cut back on pharmaceuticals,” he said.
