Since the end of the war, the R.A.F. has taken over some hospital work from the Army; it now depends largely on short-term medical officers, who must start by sharing their work with an experienced man. The numbers on each station have decreased, but medical officers are still required. Nevertheless, as I said in answer to my hon. Friend the Member for North Hendon (Mrs. Ayrton Gould) a week ago, I share the anxieties expressed by my hon. Friend, and I propose to consider the matter again in consultation with my right hon. Friends.
