MEDICAL SCHEME
STATE AND DOCTORS HINT OF LEGISLATION A hint o£ the possibility of interesting legislative developments in connection with the general practitioner scheme under the Social Security Act after the Parliamentary session opened next month was given in an interview to the Labour paper, the Standard, by the Minister of Health, the Hon. A. H. Nordmeyer. The Minister declined to indicate what proposals he had in mind for speeding up the general application of the scheme, but he said he was well aware of the feeling of disappointment among the public that the Government had not yet been successful in securing the co-operation of a large section of the medical profession. It should surely be obvious, he added, that the Government had no power under the existing law to do any more than had been done, but there might be some interesting developments after Parliament resumed next month.
