HC Deb 11 May 1961 vol 640 c66W
30. Mr. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many doctors there are in Northern Rhodesia; and how many inhabitants this represents for each doctor.

Mr. H. Fraser

Health is a Federal responsibility, but I am informed that there are 338 medical practitioners registered in Northern Rhodesia; that is about one to every 7,000 inhabitants.
