HC Deb 13 December 1939 vol 355 c1217W
Sir F. Fremantle

asked the Secretary of State for War how far the recommendations of the War Office Committee of 1922, based on the experience of the last war, regarding the prevention and treatment of nervous disorders have been adopted by the Army Medical Service for our Forces in the field?

Sir V. Warrender

Officers of the Royal Army Medical Corps have for some years received and given instruction based on the recommendations of the committee referred to in the question. Two eminent consultants in psychological medicine have been appointed to the Army, one at Home end one in the Field, and have given advice as to the lines of treatment which they consider should be adopted in cases of nervous disorders in the Field.
