§ Mr. WALTER GUINNESSasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that in many of the new hut encampments there is no accommodation for keeping medical stores and instruments or for the officers in medical charge to see the sick, who in many cases have to walk considerable distances in consequence; and whether steps will be taken to supply huts for this purpose?
§ Mr. TENNANTAt the larger hutted camps there are hut hospitals with suitable accommodation for examining the sick and keeping medical stores. At some others there are medical examination rooms specially built; and generally where the medical authorities have asked for these to be provided they have been built. In some camps where special huts have not been built for this purpose and where the troops are in occupation, it is possible to arrange for seeing the sick in some existing huts which are to spare. If it is found that spare huts are not available, medical inspection rooms can be built as in the cases above alluded to.
