§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate if he will state whether the Local Government Board for Scotland have taken any steps to ascertain whether patients suffering from typhus or typhoid fever in the Island of Lewis are segregrated; and, if fever cases are not thus isolated, will he state the cause.
MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAYAs I have already informed the hon. Member, such measures of segregration as are possible in the Lewis crofters' houses have been 454 employed by the district medical officer, who reports to the Local Government Board that efforts are made to treat the sick in a separate apartment.
§ MR. WEIRIs the Secretary for Scotland aware that there are absolutely no means of isolation for fever patients at this place? Will the right hon. Gentleman make further enquiry?
