INJURED WORKERS
EFFECT OF AMENDED-ACT
Notice of his intention to ask the Attorney-General (the Hon. H. G. R. Mason) whether his attention had been drawn to the wording of section 9, paragraph 2, of the 1936 amendment to the Workers' Compensation Act was given in the House of Representatives yesterday afternoon by Mr. C. H. Chapman (Government, Wellington North). Mr. Chapman said that according to the amendment an injured worker who had been examined by the medical committee set up under the Act and who was dissatisfied with the report of the committee might possibly not be entitled to apply to the Arbitration Court for compensation. A case had arisen where a workman had been proved to have suffered a broken rib which was not detected by the medical committee.
