§ Mr. BROOKESasked the Under-secretary of State for War whether, on the occasion of the recent raid, one of the leading hospitals had to request the services of an entire Army medical board; and whether arrangements exist for ensuring prompt and adequate surgical aid in all cases?
§ Sir G. CAVEMy hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question.1448W Arrangements are made by the police for securing the services of doctors and ambulances and making other provision for rendering first aid. I understand that on Wednesday last, owing to the short time which elapsed between the receipt of warning by the police and the occurrence of the raid, medical aid was urgently required, and the services of the members of an Army medical board were requisitioned.
