Unacceptable To Auckland Doctors
MEDICAL BILL
[Special to ‘‘Northern Advocate"] AUCKLAND, This Day. A meeting of the Auckland division of the British Medical Association last night decided that the Social Security Amendment Bill was still unacceptable. The meeting further affirmed that the Bill did not provide for any improvement in the health services of the Dominion, other than making th,e general practitioner’s services less costly to the individual, and the meeting called on the Government to set up a non-political commission to' go fully into the question of more adequate preventative medicine in New Zealand. Special attention, it was urged, should be given to protection against tuberclosis, diptheria, scarlet fever, hydatids, and the question of supplying suitable foods at prices within reach of the people.
