§ DR. THOMPSONTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state why the Local Government Board have refused to permit the governors of the County Monaghan Infirmary to see the Report of the Local Government Board inspector relative to the condition of their hospital and its suitability as a training school for nurses.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) No application has been made by the governors of the infirmary for permission to see the Report in question. In any event such reports are confidential documents intended for the information of the Local Government Board, and it would be contrary to the invariable practice to make them public.
