Clarity needed in vet row

Clarity needed in vet row

  • Letters to the Editor

Acting president of the ACT Vet Board, Dr Steven Roberts, suggests Dr Jan Spate's former clients are outraged at her losing registration for selfish reasons; because Dr Spate didn't charge much (Letters, October 23).

Who cares? We do, we did
