An Explanation
Sir,—ln my report to the Council of the British Medical Association of my visit to New Zealand in September and October, 1937, after a friendly acknowledgment of Dr. McMillan’s courtesy and helpfulness, I wrote, with reference to the Government Committee on National Health Insurance: “The chairman of this committee was Dr. McMillan, the only medical member of Parliament, who, however able and sincere a politician, could scarcely be considered to be in any sense a representative medical practitioner.” It appears that, after an interval of some eighteen months, some person lias perversely interpreted this to imply a reflection on Dr. McMillan’s professional ability or personal integrity, Dr. McMillan has asked me to make, through your columns, a statement that no such reflection was intended by me. This I do very willingly—l am, HENRY B. BRACKENBURY. (Sir Henry Brackenbury.) London, July 13.
