FOREIGN DOCTORS
QUESTION OF PRACTICE IN DOMINION. GOVERNMENT CONSIDERATION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. “I can assure the honourable gentleman that the Government is well aware of the difference between the English and New Zealand legislation on this point, and that the matter is receiving immediate and careful attention,” said the Minister of Health, Mr Nordmeyer, in reply to an urgent question asked by Mr O’Brien (Government, Westland) in the House of Representatives yesterday. Mr O’Brien had asked the Minister if, considering the impossibility of procuring doctors for certain districts in New Zealand, he would bring down legislation this session to allow medical men who were at present entitled to practice in Great Britain to practise in the Dominion. In a note to his question, Mr O’Brien said there were many continental doctors of the highest qualifications at present practising in Britain who would not, at present, be allowed to practise in the Dominion, and he understood there were several doctors in New Zealand who were not allowed to practise, but who could do so were they in England.
