Doctors plan increase in fees sparks political clash
The Australian Prime Minister and health spokesman clashed with the AMA over anticipated fee rises for doctors. Mr McMahon and Senator Sir Kenneth Andenen told AMA leaders such increases before 1973 were unacceptable, while ALP figures promised a participatory doctors scheme if elected. The AMA argued fees should follow an agreed two year consultative procedure amid rising national costs, with the government insisting the two year cycle remain intact unless exceptional developments justify a change.
