§ MR. C. P. SCOTTI beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether the services of more than one medical man have been available at most of the largo famine camps, containing from 20,000 to 30,000 people, at any time during the famine or since the outbreak of cholera.
§ LORD G. HAMILTONI have not received details as to the individual distribution of medical officers and medical subordinates at the different relief camps and relief houses. The Famine Codes 653 contain full instructions for strengthening the medical staff in famine districts, for provision of hospital accommodation on relief works, for posting a medical officer or a subordinate qualified for independent charge to each hospital, for the duties of such medical officers. The instructions as to engaging additional medical officers and subordinates from outside the regular service, when need arises, are full and clear.
