§ CAPTAIN NORTON () Newington, W.I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether, seeing that non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Army Medical Corps are on duty for long hours in attendance upon sick and wounded at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Netley, he will consider the advisability of organising a special staff of night orderlies, who would be excused day duty, as in all large civil hospitals, in order that the sick or wounded soldier may be at least as well attended to as the civilian patient.
* MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS (for Mr. WYNDHAM)The question has been very carefully considered, and in view of the number of experienced men of the Medical Staff Corps who have applied to re-enlist and by whose help the pressure will be greatly diminished, it is not thought expedient to form the special staff suggested.
