HC Deb 27 July 1916 vol 84 c1881W
Sir E. CORNWALL

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the health of the British troops in Salonika and district is satisfactory; and whether, in view of the desire of their relatives and of the country generally for more information, he will arrange for the issue of occasional official bulletins with regard to these forces?

Mr. FORSTER

Oases of enteric and dysentery have been very few, although there has been during the past three months some increase in the admissions to hospitals owing to the larger number of cases of malaria, diarrhoea, and pyrexia. The medical authorities, however, consider that on the whole the health of the troops is satisfactory. The issue of official bulletins must, of course, be dependent on there being anything to report. Such bulletins are, and will continue to be, issued whenever there is anything to say.
