§ Mr. James Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland in what circumstances pupils on official education visits have to pay for medical attention.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellThe question arises only if adequate insurance arrangements have not been made by those responsible for organising the visit and, in the case of visits within Great Britain, only if medical attention is obtained out-with the National Health Service. Fot foreign visits, arrangements with member States of the EEC and other countries with which reciprocal agreements have been made also have a bearing on the extent to which payment may be required.
