Deputation Seeks Better Terms to Keep Dr Sword in Gordonvale

At Gordonvale a deputation led by W C Griffin and including W Seymour-Howe J Stokes N McKeeman and M J Hoare was introduced to explain the object of the meeting. They aim to offer improved conditions to Dr Sword so he may be induced to remain in Gordonvale. Howe said the meeting was well attended and the group wished to gauge the value the district places on his services.

Private Practice Debate Over Local Hospital Service

The board discusses preserving local hospital services amid private practice pressures. Officials cite Cairns and Gordonvale access, patient outflows, and potential funding shifts. A deputy notes residents may contribute to keep the doctor, while Hoare questions feasibility and authority.

Board declines to bid for doctor Sword in Gordonvale

After the deputation withdrew, Mr Jeppesen said with the doctor already resigning there was nothing further for them to do. The Board refused a special offer to Doctor Sword to stay in Gordonvale and decided to ask the deputation leader the salary that would entice him to remain, with Swornid stating he would stay in Gordonvale at the Port Doug salary.
