BETRAYED by Political Promises People's Health endangered by unsound State Medical Monopoly Scheme! DHHE medical profession would be failing in its trust as custodians of the health of the people of New Zealand if it accepted such an inadequate scheme as the Government proposes—a scheme which if put into practice must, endanger the general health of the people because the State Medical Monopoly Scheme must inevitably lower the standards of the medical profession. Here are some of the many reasons why the medical profession considers the State Medical Monopoly Scheme will not provide an adequate health service lor the people of New Zealand. (1) The State Medical Monopoly scheme will force the medical profession J into slip-shod service. Quantity rather than quality is emphasized and it is readily seen that a full service is impossible with 300 of the total number of doctors in New Zealand now serving in the armed forces overseas. But the Government proposals take no notice of that. (2) NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICES AS REQUIRED BY THE GOVERN- J MENT MEDICAL SCHEME DOES NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE STANDARDS OF MEDICAL SERVICE. Examination of military recruits shows that our standard of fitness is at a low level. New Zealand is far behind in its Public Health activities. The Tuberculosis problem is neglected. Provision for treatment is inadequate and the methods of prevention antiquated. Diphtheria is a disease serious to infants and very young children. Many deaths occur annually. It should have been eliminated from New Zealand as it has been from such great communities as Canada and the United States. These urgent problems of health administration should be tackled immediately—but the Government Medical Monopoly Scheme displays no interest in them. (3) The State Medical Monopoly Scheme makes both patient and doctor bow to the will of the Minister of Health who knows nothing of medical practice and nothing of a patient’s ills. (4) The only outstanding authority (Sir Henry Brackenbury, a leading English Doctor) who examined the Government Medical Monopoly Scheme ! reported that he found little merit in it. No other competent and experienced authority or body has even been asked by the Government to examine their proposals with a view to securing the best possible working scheme. LET A NON-POLITICAL COMMISSION DECIDE The Medical Profession asks that a non-political Commission of persons fully qualified to deal with the scientific, economic, financial and social questions involved, be set up to enquire into the health services of Now Zealand and submit a report on which sound legislation may be based to thoroughly safeguard the health of the people of New Zealand. Support the Medical Profession in their ■fight for Social Justice and a sound efficient Medical Service for the people! Telegraph or write the Member of Parliament for your district voicing your strong protest against the State Medical Monopoly Scheme. L_»_ - —
