§ 67. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Under-Secretary for War whether some 5,000 medical men have volunteered their services during the War, and how many of these are now in actual service; and whether there is any scarcity of medical officers either at Home or at the front?
§ Mr. TENNANTMore than 5,000 medical men have offered their services, and 3,100 have actually been appointed. This is in addition to officers of the Special Reserve. There is not at the moment any scarcity of medical officers either at Home or at the front, but a further large number will be required.
