§ Sir R. COOPERasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the recent replacement of British medical practitioners in our military hospitals by American practitioners has broken down; if the British practitioners have been requested to return temporarily to work in military hospitals; if he is aware of the disadvantage that has accrued to our wounded by the replacement of a fully experienced medical service by one which could have but little experience of disablement due to the peculiar conditions of war?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe facilities which we have given to the American Government to enable their officers to obtain experience of war injuries have not broken down. The number of practitioners employed in military hospitals varies with the number of patients in them.
