HC Deb 19 August 1919 vol 119 cc2151-2W
Major GLYN

asked the Secretary of State for War if any arrangement has been arrived at with the Ministry of Pensions in regard to patients under treatment in military hospitals that are to be taken over by the Ministry of Pensions; and whether the arrangements ensure the continuance of treatment by the doctors and nurses who have had previous charge of all non-convalescent cases?

Mr. FORSTER

An arrangement has been arrived at. The staff will not be transferred en bloc, as transfer is dependent in part on the wishes of the individuals, but no doubt the Ministry of Pensions will be glad to take into their service as many as possible of the old staffs who are desirous of remaining.
