HOSPITALS NEED DOCTORS
ANOMALOUS POSITION ARISES. STUDENTS NOT BEING ADMITTED. By Telegraph—Press Association. Hamilton, Sept. 13. An anomalous position concerning the supply of doctors was referred to by Mr. J. Banks, of Rotorua, at a meeting of the Waikato Hospital Board today. Mr. Banks pointed out that students were not being accepted for the Medical School at Dunedin because the authorities claimed that there were too many trained doctors in New Zealand for the work available. On the other hand hospital boards were finding it difficult to secure the services of doctors. For 68 positions offered recently, only 30 applications were forthcoming.
The chairman, Mr. J. J. Ryburn, said there was no doubt that the board had difficulty in obtaining doctors. At present one was wanted for the Waikato hospital and another for Rotorua.
