§ 28. Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what medical facilities and schools exist for the children of labourers in the Carey Islands, Malaya.
§ Mr. George Hall:There is a well designed hospital on Carey Island with four wards, staffed by an Indian doctor assisted by two qualified dressers, one registered midwife and one Indian nurse. The hospital is also visited weekly by a European doctor. There are three Indian vernacular schools on the island with accommodation for 200 and an enrolment of 114 pupils but books and equipment are still deficient as a result of the war.
