CURE BUT NOT PREVENTION

"There is no public demand for the socialisation of the medical profession and of chemists," said Mr. W. Appleton, National candidate for Wellington Central, speaking at the Oddfellows' Hall last evening. "In the view of the National Party it is better to provide a complete medical service for those who need it and who cannot afford it than to provide merely a general practitioner's service for all the people, many of whom do not need it and do not want it.

"In my opinion," he said, "much of the present sickness is preventable, and the problem of removing the causes of disease demands urgent and vigorous attention. The nutrition of the people is also important and I think there should be an educative campaign in this direction. The Social Security Bill attacks the problem of treating sickness, but leaves prevention to take care of itself."
