§ Mr. David Adamsasked the Undersecretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware of the shortage of private doctors in the Seychelles; and whether, as this is alleged to be due to the handicap of the rule which debars their patients from the use of the general hospital, he will examine the position with a view to relieving this shortage?
§ Mr. Harold MacmillanI have no information to show that there is a shortage of private doctors in the Colony. I will make inquiries from the Governor as to whether the existing hospital rules contain any regulation such as is alleged; and 373W whether in this or any other respect they need amendment in the light of modern requirements and procedure.
