THE INSURANCE ACT.
THE DOCTORS’ ATTITUDE. London, January 5. The British Medical Association, replying to Mr. Lloyd George, said that it was doubtful whether one doctor in a hundred had freely joined the panel. Economic pressure, fear of the introduction of outsiders, and the Government’s threats had compelled them to accept service. The Association is now organising a campaign to secure for those insured a free choice of doctors, in accordance >vith section 15 of the Bill. Mr. Lloyd George denies that those insured are entitled to arrange with the doctors apart from the insurance committees or commissioners, adding that the Government will not allow the arrangement. Correspondents reply that discretion is absolutely vested. in the committees and not in ihc Government. ■
