The representative meeting of the British Medical Asso• ciation at
Liverpool decided on Tuesday to maintain their demands in connexion with the Insurance Act. They deter- mined also to call upon all doctors who hold posts under the Act to resign. The only qualification made was in the case of the sanatorium benefit, which they agreed conditionally to carry out. The final resolution stated—
"That the British Medical Association calla on all practitioners to refrain from applying for or accepting any post or office of any
kind in connexion with the National Insurance Act except in regard to sanatorium benefit, provided it is carried on in accord- ance with the wishes of the Association, until such time as the Government has satisfied the Association that its demands will be met."
This resolution is stated in the Times to have been carried by about 117 votes to 20.
