HC Deb 24 August 1945 vol 413 cc965-6W
Mr. Hollis

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the shortage of doctors in civilian life, he can hold out any prospects of a speedier release of doctors from the Army.

Mr. Lawson

Yes, Sir. The release of doctors is being accelerated in accordance with the quicker release of the Army as a whole. Some delay in the release of certain categories of medical specialists will occur owing to the existing shortage and difficulty in finding replacements in these special categories.
