HC Deb 10 July 1950 vol 477 c78W
Mr. Viant

asked the Secretary of State of Scotland what compensation will be paid to the nurses or to the relatives of nurses who contracted smallpox in consequence of the wrong diagnosis of a case of that disease at a fever hospital in Glasgow.

Mr. McNeil

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave him on 4th May. Any claim from a nurse for compensation would fall to be dealt with similarly.

Mr. Viant

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what illnesses the Robroyston smallpox staff suffered from while engaged in nursing the smallpox cases.

Mr. McNeil

Two nurses had colds from which they have recovered.
