RELEASED FROM SERVICE
SPECIALISTS RETURN TO PRIVATE PRACTICE [British Official Wireless] RUGBY, 23rd November. Medical arrangements at the outbreak of war to deal with possible air raid casualties in London necessitated some 700 practitioners leaving their private practices, but as early as Bth September specialists engaged as wholetime officers were offered the opportunity of returning to private practice. Most specialists will be able to return to their private practices, while only the nucleus of a medical staff will be employed fulltime. Twenty-eight casualty evacuation trains, with trained crews, are in readiness day and night. Special measures are being taken to ensure the maintenance of cancer treatment. As far as X-ray treatment for cancer is concerned, there is evidence of considerable activity at most big city hospitals.
