§ 68. Mr. John MacLeodasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is now able to give a date when Mr. J. Mackenzie, of Evanton, about whom there has been correspondence for several months between his Department and the hon. Member for Ross and Cromarty, can be admitted to hospital for a thoracic operation.
§ Mr. J. StuartI am sorry I cannot give a date. I appreciate the hon. Member's concern about this case but the order in which patients are admitted must be left to the doctors concerned to decide in the light of relative urgency on medical grounds and other material factors.
