§ Colonel DAYasked the Minister of Pensions whether it is proposed to move the medical officer, recently summoned by a patient for assault, from the Ministry 2536W of Pensions hospital at Orpington; and whether, in view of the general complaints as to the conditions prevailing at the hospital extending over the past two years, he will consider the desirability of making a complete change in the staff at this hospital?
§ Major TRYONI am satisfied that there is no ground whatever for removing the medical officer referred to. In answer to the last part of the question, I may say that practically the entire medical staff was changed on medical grounds when this institution was adapted for the accommodation of the class of patient which is now sent there.
