MORE MEDICAL MEN WANTED

♦ I OFFER FROM THE WAR OFFICE. £ The Government has received a i cablegram intimating that the _ War , Office is desirous to engage additional , men from New Zealand as temporary , lieutenants of the R.A.M.C. Successful j? candidates will be required to go j through a course of training at a training centre of the R.A.M.C. 0 Candidates must bo duly registered t medical praotitioners in Now Zealand, ( . under tlurty-five yenrs of age preferred, ' hut applications from candidates up to c forty years of ago will be considered. c The ' War Office is also prepared to 0 consider individual applications from g senior medical men whose status will |, be considered and dealt with according v to the merits of each case. ■ [ Applications under the abovo cater gories should be addressed to the In- | spector-General of Hospitals ; Depart- j, mont of Public Health, Wellington, or, a if tho applicant belongs to the N.Z. a Medical Corps, to. the Director of f, Medical Science, Wellington. a ' In reference to the above, the Min- n ister of Defence stated _ that all ap- s plications would be considered and all s precautions taken with a view to pre- v venting an undue depletion of districts t of medical men. The urgency of tlie t matter and the vital issues at stake s renders it imperative for the country- 1 to supply the demand for medical men 3 to its utmost limit. The Government is a all the more hopeful that it will bo pos- 2 sihle to spare the medical men required l< without unduly depleting the country s of its civil medical service owing to tho 1 offers of medical men for service in any 1 part of the Dominion where their services may be required. Arrangements are also being mad® with t-lie authorities of the Dunedin Medical School for ail early examina- s tion of students, it being understood ' that no fewer than thirty students are 1 qualified to sit for the next filial exam- c inatiou, in addition to tho senior ? students, some of whom, it is hoped, may be returned from the seat of war. "Such being the case," concluded the Minister, "I am confident, provided , every care is taken, as I have already g mentioned, to prevent an undue depiction of the districts of medical men, 1 that the country will be able to provide a large proportion of the doctors required by the authorities without 0 seriously interfering with the civil t medical" service and our hospital sys- t tern. It is true some reorganisation ? and redistribution of medical men may )' prove nccessary, but I feel sure that t the splendid patriotism and unselfishness that has been sn characteristic of <• the New Zealand public will alloiv all j tho necessary arrangements to be made '> for the benefit of the men who are now c engaged in this momentous struggle, evenlf we do have to suffer somo little inconvenience."
