HC Deb 29 October 1952 vol 505 c214W
56. Mr. D. Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the post of radiologist at Georgetown, British Guiana, which was vacated on 21st July last, has yet been filled; and whether he will take special emergency steps to see that the Colony is supplied with a radiologist as soon as possible.

Mr. J. Foster

No. The Colonial Office have been trying without success since last March to find a radiologist. The post is being advertised again. If an emergency arose the Acting Governor would no doubt try to get help from a neighbouring territory, but my right hon. Friend has not heard that this has been thought necessary nor has he received any request for special or temporary assistance.
