§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Board can see their way to increasing the remuneration given to the members of the medical profession who are appointed as naval surgeon and agent in different districts, having regard to the alterations of conditions which the War has caused since the terms were framed?
§ Dr. MACNAMARANo reason is seen for increasing the emoluments of these posts, which can always be satisfactorily filled upon the present terms, which (with a few exceptions) being based on the payment of fees for services rendered, are elastic enough to ensure that additional services during the War are recognised by additional remuneration.
