Director quizzed on scheme
PA Auckland The High Court action by doctors seeking a review of the general medical services benefit scheme continued in Auckland yesterday. Three Auckland doctors allege that the Minister of Health, Dr Bassett, misused his power in introducing new criteria for the scheme earlier in the year.
The director of the Health Department’s Clinical Services Division, Dr John Phillips, was yesterday questioned about implementation of the scheme. He was chairman of the committee which reviewed primary medical services and recommended in its report to the Government in 1982 an urgent increase in the general medical services benefit.
The hearing, before Mr Justice Vautier, will continue today.
