HC Deb 22 November 1949 vol 470 c17W
Sir D. Robertson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware that the population on the Island of Stroma are entirely without medical services, that the passage to the mainland is hazardous and is frequently interrupted by storm; and if he will take immediate steps to have a competent nurse installed in the island so that first aid at least is available.

Mr. Woodburn:

This is a matter primarily for the Caithness County Council, who are attempting to arrange suitable accommodation for a nurse on the island.
