§ Mr. Martenasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why there is no surgeon in Montserrat Hospital in the Leeward Islands; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GreenwoodNo provision has been made in the past for the post of surgeon on the establishment of the Montserrat Hospital, because surgery, when necessary, was performed by a Government medical officer with surgical experience. To fill the vacancy created by this officer's retirement steps are being taken to recruit a surgeon specialist.
