§ SIR THOMAS ESMONDEI beg to ask the Postmaster General if Irish rural postmen will be allowed free medical attendance, as is allowed to other postmen?
§ MR. A. MORLEYRural postmen, in common with other servants of the Post Office who come within the prescribed limit of salary (£150 a year), can obtain advice and medicine on application at the surgery of the medical officer in those towns where the Department has a medical officer, but they are not entitled to attendance at their own homes if they reside more than three miles from the Post Office. Rural postmen in Ireland are treated in exactly the same way as rural postmen in England and Scotland.
