§ Mr. David Adamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware of the discontent and numerous resignations of doctors from the public hospitals and services of Jamaica, petitions of nurses against mismanagement resulting in overwork and under-payment and the alleged neglect of patients and inability of hospitals to give proper attention to serious cases; and will be accede to the public demand for an impartial and comprehensive inquiry with a view to remedying the grievances and inefficiency in these services?
§ Colonel StanleyI am aware that some dissatisfaction exists in the Jamaica Government Medical Service. I understand that the pay and conditions in that service have been investigated by the local public service committee, and I am awaiting its report with the Governor's recommendations.
