HC Deb 22 June 1921 vol 143 cc1362-3
68. Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE

asked the Secretary of State for War what are the pay and allowances, respectively, of an A.D.M.S. and of a D.A.D.M.S., T.F.; what in general are their duties; and how many hours a week on duty do they entail?

Lieut.-Colonel STANLEY

The emoluments (including all allowances) of Assistant Directors of Medical Services (Territorial Force), which are issuable only during annual training, amount to £4 1s. 3d. a day. The emoluments of Deputy Assistant Directors of Medical Services (Territorial Force), which are issued all the year round, vary from £2 9s. 10d. to £1 16s. 7d. a day, according to the rank of the officer (major or captain), and whether he is married or unmarried. The duties of an Assistant Director of Medical Services (Territorial Force) in peace are laid down in paragraphs 46 and 386 of the Territorial Force Regulations, copies of which I am sending my hon. and gallant Friend. The duties are similar, in a modified degree, to those of an Assistant Director of Medical Services in the Regular Army. He has administrative charge of the Royal Army Medical Corps (Territorial Force) of the division and of the School of Instruction. The appointment requires that he should maintain general supervision of the work carried out through the Deputy Assistant Director of Medical Services. During the annual training of the Territorial Force the Assistant Director of Medical Services becomes a full-time officer. The Deputy Assistant Director of Medical Services is a whole-time officer. When the division is not in training he acts for the Assistant Director of Medical Services and supervises the training of the medical personnel and the work in the School of Instruction.
