HC Deb 25 November 1941 vol 376 cc615-6W
Mr. Thorne

asked the Secretary of State for War how many civilian doctors have passed through an Army school of hygiene course; and how many have taken courses for treating mechanical warfare casualties?

Captain Margesson

I understand that my hon. Friend is referring to courses given to civilian doctors on entering the Army Medical Service. Some 5,000 medical officers have passed through a course at the Army School of Hygiene and over 1,000 through a course for the treatment of mechanical warfare casualties.
