§ 16. Mr. Bartlettasked the Secretary of State for War why civilian medical practitioners of long experience and with no practices of their own are being dismissed; and have the newly-commissioned officers who are taking their place all received an intensive course of training at the Royal Army Medical Corps College, Millbank?
§ Sir V. WarrenderThe great expansion of the Army has necessitated the appointment of a large number of additional Royal Army Medical Corps officers available for service wherever required, and these have in certain cases replaced civilian medical practitioners previously 9 employed for local duties only. It is open to civil medical practitioners of suitable age and fitness to apply for commissions, if they are willing to undertake the liability for general service. Newly-commissioned officers are trained at various Army medical establishments including the Royal Army Medical College, Millbank.
