CONTROL OF MEDICAL ADVERTISING
Act Operates Next Year
(P.A.) DUNEDIN, October 29. “The Medical Advertisements Act does not come into operation until the beginning of the year,” said the Minister of Health, the Hon. A. H. Nordmeyer, tonight. “Time has thus been allowed to enable manufacturers to terminate their advertising contracts and to change their labels where these are likely to offend.” Asked whethei' the personnel of the board had yet been selected, the Minister said that an announcement would not be made for some little time. He indicated, however, that members would be chosen for their scientific knowledge and judicial capacity. When invited to comment on the suggestion of the Dunedin manufacturing chemists’ group that provision should be made for appeals, Mr Nordmeyer said he thought this was scarcely necessary as it was intended to appoint a pharmaceutical chemist as one of the members. As the committee would make its decisions on fact, he added, it was hardly necessary to set up a further board to reconsider its decisions.
