§ SIR ALBERT ROLLIT (Islington, S.)To ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he will state what steps will be taken to carry into effect the rider of the jury in the case of the inquest held on 25th February upon the four female patients in Portsmouth Lunatic Asylum who died from the effects of careless dispensing; and whether the Local Government Board will cause regulations to be made requiring all dispensaries in public institutions to be in charge of persons registered under the Pharmacy Acts.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Akers-Douglas.) I have been asked by my right hon. friend to take this Question. There are several difficult points involved in this case, and for the present I can only say that I am in communication with the Lunacy Commissioners, and that the matter shall be thoroughly considered.
