NATIONAL INSURANCE BILL.
WHAT THE DOCTORS DEMAND.
AN OFFER FROM MR BALFOUR
[UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.] LONDON, June 2.
Air Lloyd-George attended a special meeting of the British Medical Association. The doctors demanded to be entirely freed from friendly societies. Mr Lloyd-George was favorable to a suggestion that they be under a iocal committee, but disagreed with a proposal that all earning more than forty shillings be excluded' from the Bill. He agreed that an insured patient should 1 have a free choice of doctors, subject to safeguards, against the- choice of a doctor encouraging malingering. Mr Balfour, in the House of Commons, offered facilities to assist the Government in amending and carrying the Insurance Bill.
