Government Services
Being an island with a population of only 2000 people, there are not too many government buildings or services and many people have to go to Praslin for satisfying their advanced needs. On La Digue, there is one post office which is closed on Sundays (similarly to quite a number of other services). There is also a small police station, but this was mainly set up for the tourists. Lastly, there is a small hospital, although some inhabitants of La Digue prefer to visit the hospitals in Praslin and Victoria. Pregnant women usually go to Victoria to give birth.

Famous quotes containing the words government and/or services:
“A woman does not have to make decisions based on the need to survive. She can cut through issues, call shots as she sees them.... Many bad decisions are made by men in government because it is good for them personally to make bad public decisions.”
—Dianne Feinstein (b. 1933)
“It seems I impregnated Marge
So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
—Anonymous.
