HC Deb 16 April 1918 vol 105 cc230-1W
Mr. R. GWYNNE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food if nurses in V.A.D. hospitals are given a considerably lower ration than nurses in military hospitals, women in the W.A.A.C., and W.R.N.S.; and, if so, why this difference is made between those who are giving their services voluntarily and those who are paid?

Mr. CLYNES

Under the new scale of institutional rations for hospitals and sanatoria, resident professional staffs in all home auxiliary hospitals will receive the same rations as the resident professional staffs in naval and military hospitals at home.
