§ 14 and 15. Mr. Greyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies (1) how many West Indian medical students are at present being trained in medical schools in the West Indies, in Britain, in other Commonwealth countries and in other foreign countries, respectively; and what was the total number of West Indian doctors qualifying and entering practice in the West Indies in 1960;
(2) how many doctors are required in the West Indies to meet the needs of the people.
§ Mr. H. FraserI do not at present have this information nor the last current projection of need but have sought both and will send particulars to the hon. Member as soon as they are available.
§ Mr. GreyDoes the Minister feel that sufficient has been done in the various countries, and will he say whether there are sufficient medical students being trained to fit the needs of the parts of the world mentioned in my Question?
§ Mr. FraserI should like to see the figures first. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will put down another Question in due course.
