§ Mr. LUNDONasked whether the Local Government Board recently sanctioned the appointment of Dr. Murnaghan to a dispensary area in county Tyrone; and, if so, why similar sanction to medical officers appointed by public bodies in the South of Ireland is denied?
§ Mr. DUKEThe case of Dr. Murnaghan differs from the other cases to which the hon. Member refers. Dr. Murnaghan's temporary appointment during the absence through illness of the medical officer of the Omagh Dispensary District was sanctioned because no other medical practitioner was available.
