§ Mr. Grovesasked the Minister of Health (1) whether the chief medical 260W officers of emergency service hospitals are in any cases surgeons who might be too busy with professional work to exercise control of other arrangements at times of emergency?
(2) whether the staffing of emergency service hospitals is restricted to persons who will have no other duty posts during air attack; or whether it includes doctors and others who will not be available at such times?
Mr. M. MacDonaldI have no reason to believe that in arranging the staffs of emergency hospitals the competent authorities have not taken account of their availability for the duties assigned to them.
