§ 78. Mr. Turtonasked the Secretary of state for the Colonies whether he is aware that West African nurses were recommended for appointment on the staff of Dewsbury Infirmary; and on what grounds as their appointment refused.
§ Mr. George Hall:I understand that the authorities of this Infirmary feel unable to accept girls from West Africa for training for the time being, as it is thought that a hospital with only 100 beds is too restricted to provide satisfactory amenities for the training of Colonial nurses.
