Major HENDERSONasked if, in view of the non-existence of quarters for officers quartered at Tidworth, necessitating their residing at Salisbury and Andover, the same facilities for medical attendance by civil practitioners may be granted to officers residing at Andover as to those residing at Salisbury?
§ Colonel SEELYUnder the regulations officers are only entitled to medical attendance at stations such as Salisbury, where there is a regular or civilian medical practitioner employed for attending on the troops, and then only if their residence is within the prescribed mileage limit. I regret to say that it is impracticable to make any exception to this rule at present without involving considerable extra expense for which no funds are available. But the matters shall be carefully considered.
