WHEN DOCTORS DIFFER
A NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE. By Alice Bush, J. McMurray Cole, E. F. Fowler, Elizabeth Hughes, Howard Gaudin, Selwyn Morris, Bruce Mackenzie, Douglas Robb. Progressive Publishing Company. HIS is an attempt by eight’ medical practitioners in Auckland to draft a plan for an organised health service for the whole community. It is a tentative draft, since the authors admit that much of the information they would require before they could plan definitely is not at present available to them. In addition they confess that they have not yet reached an agreement among themselves on much more than the general direction in which a solution to the problem will be found. So they throw their tentative proposals out for discussion and invite suggestions and criticisms-a, disarming gesture which seems a little naive. After all, they offer their book for sale; or their publishers do, If, as they say, "it is for the people to study the picture and discuss it amongst themselves," it was surely for the experts to study it long enough to be able to tell the people that they really had agreed about it. Instead they say that although they have not yet been able to make up their own minds "the people’ should make up theirs. In the meantime, half-a-crown please before we tell you what we can’t agree about.
