EARNINGS OF DOCTORS
P.A. AUCKLAND, This Day. Dr. Martyn Finlay, private secretary to the Minister of Health and Labour candidate for Remuera, speaking at Orakei last night, denied a statement made at Dunedin by Dr. Newlands, a former member of the Medical Council, that some medical men received £10,000 each from the social security funds. As the Minister's secretary, Dr. Finlay declared positively that none of the social security doctors was earning' anything like £10,000 yeaiiy, though some specialists, particularly some of the fashionable specialists in Auckland, might earn that amount.
Referring to Dr. Newlands's suggestion that social security doctors were giving "just a hurried service," the candidate said that the lists of the doctors working under the capitation system were still increasing, which indicated that the patients were well satisfied with the service they received.
