HC Deb 26 February 1947 vol 433 c290W
Mr. Skinnard

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that facilities for medical treatment in the Cayman Islands are inadequate; that patients have to travel to Jamaica; and whether local treatment will be made available.

Mr. Creech Jones

Yes, Sir. For that reason, a free grant of £20,100 has been made from Colonial Development and Welfare Funds for the provision of additional medical facilities in the Cayman Islands in advance of consideration of the Islands' Development Plan as a whole.
