HC Deb 15 March 1905 vol 143 c31
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate, in view of the fact that no medical inspector from the Local Government Board has visited the Island of Lewis, will he state on how many occasions the medical officer of health for Ross and Cromarty has visited the island during the last five years; the time he spent in the island; and the names of the districts visited.

*THE LORD-ADVOCATE (Mr. SCOTT DICKSON, Glasgow, Bridgton)

The medical officer has visited the island four times since January 1st, 1900. On each occasion he stayed from twenty-four to forty-eight hours and saw all the local medical officers, but did not visit all the four parishes into which the island is divided.
