Objects and Reasons.
The object of the Ordinance is to amend The Medical Registration Ordinance, 1884.
Nearly all the amendments have been suggested by the Medical Board.
The most important amendments are the repeal of sections 12 and 13 and the substitution of two new sections for them. The old sections dealt-
(a) with the registration of practitioners registered in
other Colonies;
(b) with practitioners holding diplomas, &c., from any
University, College, &c.
An applicant under class (a) had simply to prove his registration in another Colony and on such proof to the satisfaction of the Colonial Secretary he became entitled to registration in this Colony.
An applicant under class (b) had to prove to the satis- faction of the Medical Board the grant of his diploma, &c., and that it was granted in consequence of the applicant having passed through a course of study and examination equivalent to the minimum course of study required in England.
The present Bill provides that applicants from either class shall prove to the satisfaction of the Medical Board, in addition to the proof of being registered elsewhere or of hold- ing a diploma, &c., the identity of the applicant and that the applicant is of good character and has passed through a course of study and examination equal to the minimum course of study and examination required in England, and places the law on a footing with the law in England with regard to Foreign diplomas, &c. The additional safe- guards now proposed are for the better security of those who have to seek medical aid. The remaining amendments are of minor importance.
