SOCIAL SECURITY ACT
MEDICAL SERVICE PLAN TO END DEADLOCK. IMPORTANT LEGISLATION EXPECTED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Important developments in the general practitioner service under the Social Security Act are expected soon. Legislation offering a fee-for-service alternative to the 15s per annum per capita offered doctors who accept cards under the Act is being drafted and the Bill will make its appearance in the present session of Parliament. So far, the proposed legislation has gone no farther than the drafting stage and its final terms have yet to be approved by the Government, it is reliably understood. By fixing a settled fee for each consultation by a doctor, instead of a fixed annual sum for calls by patients, the deadlock which has been general throughout the Dominion, with only one or two exceptions, will be overcome, it is expected. No details of the Government’s new proposals have been released.
