§ 21. Major Anstruther-Grayasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether his attention has been drawn to complaints from out-patients at Peel Hospital with regard to canteen facilities; and what his Department will do to assist the board of management in this matter.
Commander GalbraithI have written to my hon. and gallant Friend concerning a complaint he brought to my notice about the distance of the canteen from the out-patient department. It would be difficult to re-site the canteen, but I have no doubt that the board of management will consider what improvements are practicable.
§ Major Anstruther-GrayWill my right hon. and gallant Friend bear in mind that this canteen is nearly 300 yards away? That is a long way for ill people to walk for a cup of tea. Will not my right hon. and gallant Friend try to assist the board of management to remedy this state of affairs?
