§ 10. Colonel YATEasked the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware of the expenses involved in obtaining medical advice in London for officers on leave from India; and whether ho can do anything to assist these officers in that respect?
§ Mr. MONTAGUAll Indian Army officers on sick leave in this country during the War have been admitted to the same medical treatment in hospitals or by private practitioners as British Service officers. Through the generous aid of the London School of Tropical Medicine it has 1329 also been possible to arrange to send civil and military officers suffering from tropical diseases to the school hospital at the Albert Docks; for diagnosis and preliminary treatment. I hope it may be possible to continue this arrangement. It secures to the officer the best advice on his case and as to its treatment. The hospital charges in these cases are borne by the revenues of India.
