§ MR. CAREWOn behalf of he hon. Member for North Monaghan I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware of the dissatisfaction at present prevailing amongst the medical officers of the Irish Poor Law service in Consequence of the abrogation by the Local Government Board of their bye-law granting the medical officers, as a right, four weeks' holiday in each year; and if he will give such directions as will cause the re-enactment of the bye-law.
§ MR. WYNDHAMArticle 28 of the Dispensary Regulations provides that each medical officer shall be allowed an annual vacation not exceeding four weeks. But since that Regulation was made, a Court of Law has held that it is not incumbent on a Board of Guardians to grant the full period of four weeks.
