DOCTORS’ EFORTS
EFFECT OF NEW PLANS.
(Per Press Association—Copyright}
NELSON, December 6
Dr. J. P. S. Jamieson, chairman of the National Health Insurance Committee of the British Medical Association, made the following comment:
“The amendments to the general practitioner service will be resisted by the medical profession as firmly as the repealed clauses of the act itself. The amendments in no respect diminish 1 the danger of the degradation of medical work, against which the association has fought consistently. It is evident' that the amendments are designed to enlist the pressure of individual patients and organisations, on individual doctors, in order to white-ant the resistance of the association against bureaucracy and socialisation. This will not succeed. A still worse feature is that the amendments, if they were effective, would result in -seriously reducing the war effort of the profession.” .
