Doctor for Bullahdelah in Subsidy Debate
The Hospitals Commission seeks to establish a medical practitioner in Bullahdelah. The Attorney for Hearth, Mr. FitzSimons, notes Bullahdelah may not need subsidy due to population. With many doctors joining the armed services, small towns must rely on larger centres. Nearest division is Stroud, 24 miles away. A committee at the Shire Council discusses cost controls and proposes guidance from Health Department officials on a part time health inspector role during wartime and for 12 months after.
