Rise in Medical Fees Urged by SE Van Den Heuvel
An independent private inquiry ordered by the Government to set 1975 medical fees recommends a 31.9 percent increase on the 1974 Medical Benefits Schedule, with a 51.8 percent rise for all fees except pathology. The AMA list suggested 32 percent. The report, led by Norman Melniown, was released to Minister for Social Security Hayden. The inquiry aligns with AMA and Medical Fees Tribunal precedents on consultation times and fee structures.

Owners resist new ship war rooms quarrels amid turbulence
A spokesman for Howard Smith Industries Pty Ltd said the partnership with Expres was to deliver by mid October but turbulence and boiler issues prevented loading. The board subsidized about 5 percent of the ship and Howard Smith’s share of the original cost was around 11 million, though this would have been lower. The ship’s fate hinges on distribution and available lay vessels, with no clarity on further orders or deliveries.
