HC Deb 29 November 1917 vol 99 cc2242-3W
Sir WILLIAM COLLINS

asked what progress has been made with the organisation of medical volunteer corps and field ambulances; in how many counties in England and Wales such corps have been formed; and what organisation it is proposed to set up in the case of the county of London?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Sixteen county medical volunteer corps have been formed or are in process of formation. The total number of field ambulances provided by these corps is twenty-nine. No medical volunteer corps has yet been formed for the county of London, but it may be possible to utilise the services of certain personnel in the county of London, if developments, which are under consideration, mature.
