9. Major Sir C. HUNTER

asked if the medical authorities at the War Office will take steps to provide rubber gloves for I the nurses who do dressings in the military hospitals at home in order to prevent cases of septic poisoning?

Mr. FORSTER

Every demand made by medical officers for rubber gloves for the use of nurses in military hospitals has been met. If the hon. and gallant Member has had brought to his notice any case where such gloves are not available, all that is necessary is for those responsible to make an indent.
