§ SIR W. PRIESTLEY (Edinburgh and St. Andrews Universities).I beg to ask the Lord Advocate if his attention has been called to the fact that in Scotland a parish council may dismiss its medical officer at short notice, without the consent of the Local Government Board, on any occasion when his opinion does not coincide with theirs, thus exposing the medical man to insecurity of tenure and possible hardship; and if he will consider the desirability of assimilating the practice in this respect to that obtaining in England and Ireland, where no medical officer may be dismissed without the consent of the Local Government Board?
§ THE LORD ADVOCATE (MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAY, Buteshire)The answer to the first part of the Question is that a parish council may dismiss the medical officer, and to the second, that the Government is not at present prepared to come under any obligation as to legislation on the subject.
