SOCIAL SECURITY
ABUSES NOW PREVENTED
NO SUPPLY FOR FUTURE! NEE|DS
An amendment regarding pharmaceutical benefits under the Social Act appears in a Gazette. The general purpose of the amendment, said the Minister of Health, the Hon A. H. Nordmeyer, was to prevent abuses, such as the supply at the cost of the Social Security Fund of pharmecautical requirements merely to be kept on hand in case they were required.
It would be. improper, for instance, for any person to stock a first-aid cabinet at the cost of the fund or procure cough remedies in case they should be required on some future occasion. The regulations were also intended tO' check irregular and excessive prescriptions on the part of certain medical practitioners.
