HC Deb 19 February 1924 vol 169 cc1548-9W
DUCHESS of ATHOLL

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether any women medical practitioners have been appointed as medical examiners in certain criminal cases, as recommended by the Lord Advocate's letter of 20th October, 1920, to the procurators fiscal; and, if so, in which Courts such appointments have been made?

Mr. ADAMSON

The Circular referred to by the Noble Lady deals with the employment in suitable cases of women medical practitioners, and I understand that, particularly in Edinburgh and Glasgow, the services of such practitioners are frequently utilised.
