SPECIALIST DOCTORS
QUESTION OF DEFINITION [From Our Own Parliamentary Reporter) Wellington, This Day, The Minister of Health, acting on the advice of the Board of Health, would decide whether a doctor was a specialist, said the Leader of the Legislative Council <Hon. D, Wilson) 'ft reply to a question, when the Finance Bill No. 2 was under discussion in the Council last night, but. added Mr Wilson, patients themselves would know who the specialists were. In reply to a suggestion by the Horv J. K. Archer (Canterbury) that time should soon arrive when all doctors, whether specialists or not. would be asked to accept the fees laid down bj r law or else get out of the medical profession. Mr Wilson said that the present was no time to enter into a con-' troversy over medical services. Doctors were working hard, at all hours of the day or night. The Government would see that, in due time, if it remained in office, its promises of 1935 and 1938 elections would be carried out. The Finance Bill was passed by the Council without amendment.
