DOCTORS' SECRETS.
GREATER SECURITY SOUGHT. (BT CABLE—PBB3S ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTBALIAN AND K.Z CABLB ASSOCIATIOK.) LONDON, November 22. Dr. E. Graham Little introduced a Bill in the House of Commons providing that certain communications between doctors and patients should be privileged, and not disclosable in evidence. He pointed out that following on the Royal Commission on.Venereal Disease in 1916 regulations were issued making information given between doctors and patients absolutely confidential. _ An explicit assurance was given that clinics would observe the strictest secrecy. Mr Justice McCardie, by a recent decision,; had shattered that assurance, and had affronted Parliament by ordering the disclosure of information by a doctor. The Bill was read a first time.
