MEDICAL BENEFITS TWO AT LYTTELTON ONLY ONES IN BOROUGH (By Telegraph.—Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, Tuesday The two Lyttelton doctors, C. H. Upham and B. H. Gilmour, have agreed to supply medical treatment under the medical benefit section of the Social Security Act. “Of course we have,” replied Dr. Upham when asked if the report that he and Dr. Gilmour had signed agreements was correct. “It is the very thing for us. “It may be different for us down here,” added Dr. Upham, when his attention was drawn to a recent statement of the president of the Canterbury division of the British Medical Association, Dr. L. C. L. Averill, that members of the profession were numerically and physically incapable of undertaking the contracts relating to the general practitioner service under the Act. Apart from confirming that he had agreed to supply the service Dr. Gilmour had no comment to make. A few applications have been received at the Lyttelton Post Office for medical benefit application and agreement cards. There are only two doctors in Lyttelton so that residents of that port will receive free medical attention. Lyttelton is believed to be the first borough to come entirely under the scheme.
