re :
Fees for Medical Reports
Dear Dr. O'Reilly,
We have
received
two
complaints
recently
from a practitioner in County Tipperary who
intimated to us that he acted on behalf of the
proposed plaintiff. Before a statement of claim
could be drafted and settled by Counsel it was
necessary to have the report on which to base a
claim. In each of the instances referred to an
Eye Specialist's report was required. In one case
the solicitor was requested to forward a fee of
6 guineas in advance of a report. The other case
concerned an examination and report which an
Eye Specialist stated would be undertaken on
receipt of a fee of 8 guineas.
The solicitor informed each doctor that the
clients were labourers and unable to pay in ad
vance. Furthermore,
the solicitor
informed
the
doctors that their fees would be paid out of the
damages. Our members considers it unfair and
unreasonable that solicitors should be expected
to underwrite doctor's fees.
We should be obliged to know if the practise
of
the doctors
is customary and
looked upon
with favour by your Association.
Yours faithfully,
ERIC A. PLUNKETT,
Secretary.

Re :
Fees for Medical Reports
Dear Mr. Plunkett,
In reply to your letter of the 14th March, 1968,
the Irish Medical Association cannot accept that
doctors'
fees
for medical
reports should
be
dependent upon
the
successful outcome of a
case. The doctor is asked to report on facts and
