HC Deb 25 June 1957 vol 572 c15W
77. Mr. M. Clark Hutchison

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in view of his having seen a widely representative deputation on 14th June, 1957, he now has any statement to make on the appointment of a consultant physician at the Bruntsfieid and Elsie Inglis Hospitals, Edinburgh.

Mr. Maclay

Yes. After considering fully the representations I have received, I have felt bound to maintain my previous decision that I should not be justified in intervening in a matter which has been entrusted under Statute to the discretion of the regional board.
