IMPORTING DOCTORS
ORIGIN OF RUMOUR
A rumour current to the effect that the New Zealand Government was advertising in English newspapers for doctors to operate its medical service scheme was discounted by inquiries in Auckland yesterday. A city doctor said he had received a copy of a London paper with an advertisement inviting applications for appointments in the Health Department. A similar advertisement had appeared in New Zealand papers. Applicants had to hold the Diploma of Public Health, usually obtained in Britain, and it had been the practice to insert such advertisements in English papers. The appearance of the advertisement soon after the arrival of the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. P. Eraser, in England, had given colour to the story that steps were being taken to import doctors. There was nothing in the rumour,, he added.
