HC Deb 17 March 1960 vol 619 c125W
85. Mr. Woodburn

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware of the concern in the island of St. Helena about the failure to provide a doctor with surgical skill; and what steps he proposes to ensure all round medical service for the island.

Mr. Iain Macleod

The two doctors, to whom I referred in my reply on 26th January to a Question on the same subject by the hon. Member for Anglesey (Mr. C. Hughes) arrived in St. Helena on 5th March. Both these doctors have surgical experience.
