TARANAKI DOCTORS
BILL DECLARED UNACCEPTABLE ROYAL COMMISSION WANTED (By Teleg-rsph.—Press Association) NEW PLYMOUTH, Monday The Government’s proposals for a free general medical practitioner service were discussed at Stratford on Saturday night by the Taranaki division of the British Medical Association, which strongly recommended the council of the B.M.A. to refuse to operate the bill as presented but to offer to co-operate in the formulation of a scheme which would best serve the health interests of the public, provided that a non-political Royal Commission under the chairmanship of a Supreme Court judge be set up to enquire into national health schemes.
GREYMOUTH, Sundhy
The West Coast division of the British Medical Association resolved that any scheme of medical benefits which is to be accepted by the profession must be referred first to members serving overseas for their opinion. The West Coast division is in favour of collaborating with the Government to provide a suitable scheme provided the effect is given the above resolution.
