HC Deb 03 July 1884 vol 289 cc1885-6
DR. FARQUHARSON

asked the Secretary of State for War, If Volunteer surgeons can go through a course of training in ambulance drill at the Army Hospital Corps Depôt at Aldershot; and, if they will receive an allowance while attending?

SIR ARTHUR HAYTER

In reply to my hon. Friend the Member for West Aberdeenshire, I have to say that the Secretary of State for War has already under his consideration various schemes which have been proposed for the improvement of the Volunteer Medical Service, and for the better instruction of Volunteer medical officers in field work. The Secretary of State hopes to deal with these schemes in the autumn, and, among them, he will consider whether effect could be given to the suggestions contained in my hon. Friend's Question.
