CAPTAIN CRAIGI beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he will consider the advisability of increasing the scale of payment to Poor Law medical officers attending Post Office officials in Ireland to a rate approximate to that which is paid in the case of attendance to members of the Royal Irish Constabulary; and also the question of eliminating from the duties consequent upon such attendance a great deal of the clerical work which at present presses on the Poor Law medical profession.
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONThe scale of payment to Post Office medical officers is uniform throughout the United Kingdom and is believed to be sufficient.
