COUNTRY PENALISED
DOCTORS’ MILEAGE FEES MR SUTHERLAND’S SUGGESTION .. The abolition of doctors’ ■mileage fees was advocated by Mr A. S. Suth- • erland, M.P. for Hauraki, in the House of Representatives recently. , r| Mr Sutherland said that such fees tended to penalise; people for living in the country. . " In some areas in his electorate doctors would approach a certain dis- < tance from the north, and a certain distance from the south, but in between there-was difficulty in obtaining medical attention .because of the ■' 20-mile limit. He- hoped to see all the mileage made free. Why should the country residents not have the benefits of a free service.
Mileage fees in country districts in many cases amounted to a hardship and should be abolished.
