ISLAND OF CANNA.

HC Deb 03 February 1913 vol 47 c1774

25. MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINE

asked for the total population of the Island of Canna, and who is the panel doctor for that island?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The nearest doctor is on the island of Eigg. The total resident population of the Island of Canna, as shown by the last census, was twenty-nine.

Mr. F. HALL

Who is the panel doctor for these twenty-nine persons?

Mr. MASTERMAN

There are not twenty-nine; I do not think there are anything like twenty-nine insured persons.

Mr. F. HALL

Are these insured persons entitled to a doctor?

Mr. MASTERMAN

They are certainly entitled to have a doctor, or the equivalent cost of a doctor.
