ARMY & NAVY MEDICAL DEPARTMENTS.

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY.

Office, 6, Whitehall-yard, London, S.W.

Director-General, Sir J. B. Gibson, K.C.B., M.D., Hon. Phys. to H.M. the Queen; Insp. Gen. Hosps. (Sanitary Branch), Dr. T. G. Logan, Hon. Phys. to H.M. the Queen; Staff Surgeon (Medical Branch), Dr. T. Crawford; Dep. Insp.-Gen. (Statistical Branch), Dr. T. G. Balfour, F.R.S.; Staff Surgeons-Major and Surgeons, Dr. A. Barclay, Dr. H. H.

[blocks in formation]

"Whereas we have taken into our consideration the recommendations of the commissioners appointed by our authority to inquire into the regulations affecting the sanitary condition of our military forces and the medical treatment of the sick and wounded of our army, our will and pleasure is that from and after the date of this warrant the following rules shall be established for the future admission, promotion and retirement, and the pay, half-pay, relative rank and allowances of the medical officers of our army, and that by these rules our Commander-in-Chief shall govern himself in recommending officers for admission, promotion, and retirement.

"1. The grades of Medical Officers in our army shall be four in number, viz. :—

"(1.) Inspector-general of hospitals.

"(2.) Deputy-inspector-general of hospitals.

"(3.) Staff or regimental surgeon, who after twenty years' full-pay service in any rank shall be styled surgeon-major.

"(4.) Staff or regimental assistant-surgeon.

"2. No candidate shall be admitted to the competitive examination for a commission in the Medical Department of our army who does not possess such a certificate or certificates as would qualify a civilian to practise medicine and surgery; and no such candidate shall receive a commission as assistant-surgeon until he shall have satisfactorily passed an examination in military medi cine, surgery, and hygiene, after attending the authorized course in a general military hospital.

"3. No Assistant-Surgeon shall be eligible for promotion to the rank of Surgeon until he shall have passed such examination as our principal Secretary of State for War may require, and shall have served on full-pay with the commission of assistant-surgeon for five years, of which two shall have been passed in or with a regiment.

"4. A Surgeon, whether on the Staff or attached to regiments, must have served ten years in the army, with a commission on full-pay, of which two must have been passed with the rank of Surgeon in or with a regiment, before he will be eligible for promotion to the rank of DeputyInspector-General of Hospitals.

5. A Deputy-Inspector-General of Hospitals must have served five years at home, or three abroad in that rank, before he shall be eligible for promotion to the rank of Inspector-General.

"In cases, however, of emergency, or when the good of the service renders such alteration desirable, it shall be competent for our Secretary of State for War to shorten the several periods of service above-mentioned in such manner as he shall deem fit and expedient

"6. Assistant-Surgeons shall, as a general rule, be promoted to the rank of Surgeon in the order of their seniority in the service, unless unfit for the discharge of their duties from physical or professional incompetence or misconduct. In cases of distinguished service, however, an Assistant-Surgeon may be promoted without reference to seniority; and in such cases, with a view to insure the responsibility attaching to an appointment made out of the regular course of promotion, the recommendation in which the services of the officer shall be detailed, shall be published in the General Orders of the Army and in the Gazette in which his promotion appears.

7. All promotion from the rank of Surgeon to that of Deputy-Inspector, and from the rank of Deputy-Inspector to that of Inspector, shall be given by selection for ability and merit; and the grounds of such selection shall be stated to us in writing, and recorded in the office of our Commander-in-Chief, the selection being made from the whole rank of Surgeons, whether styled Surgeons or Surgeon-Majors.

8. The rates of pay of the Medical Officers of our army shall be in accordance with the following schedule :

[merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small]

"9. In addition to the pay of their ranks, officers at the head of the Medical Department on foreign stations shall receive allowances at the under-mentioned rates, when serving under the following circumstances, viz. :—

"If with an army in the field of 10,000 men or upwards, 20s. per day. "If with an army in the field of 5000 men or upwards, 158. per day.

"If with an army in the field of any less number, 10s. per day.

"If serving in a colony where the forces consist of 1500 men or upwards, 5s. per day.

"10. After the date of this warrant every Medical Officer placed on half-pay by reduction of establishment, or on the report of a Medical Board, in consequence of being incapacitated by reason of ill-health, caused by wounds, or brought on by the discharge of his duties, shall be allowed the half-pay to which his period of full-pay service may entitle him, according to the following schedule:

[merged small][merged small][merged small][ocr errors][merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small]

11. With a view to maintain the efficiency of the service all Medical Officers of the rank of Surgeon-Major, Surgeon, or Assistant-Surgeon, shall be placed on the retired list when they shall have attained the age of fifty-five years, and all Inspectors-General and Deputy Inspectors-General when they shall have attained the age of sixty-five years.

Officers thus superannuated shall be entitled to the rates of half-pay stated in the preceding schedule.

12. Every Medical Officer who shall have served upon full-pay for twenty-five years and upwards shall have the right to retire upon half-pay, at the rate of seven-tenths of the daily pay he was in receipt of when thus retiring, provided he shall have served three years in the rank from which he retires, or shall have served in any rank for ten years in the colonies, or five years with an army in the field. But if he shall not have complied with any one of these conditions, he shall be entitled only to half-pay at the rate of seven-tenths of the daily pay he was in receipt of before his last promotion.

13. Every Medical Officer thus claiming to retire must give six months' notice to the head of his department of his intention to claim this right prior to his being allowed to retire; and no Medical Officer shall have a right to give such notice after he shall be under orders to proceed to any foreign station, until he shall have served at such station for one month.

14. If a Medical Officer is placed on half-pay from any other cause than those hereinbefore named, he shall only be allowed a temporary rate of half-pay (not exceeding the rates stated in Clause 10), for such period and at such rate as shall be assigned to him by our Secretary of State for War, on a consideration of the length and character of the services rendered to the public by such Medical Officer.

“15. On reduction of establishment the Surgeon and Assistant-Surgeon who are junior in the ranks shall be the first reduced, and on restoration to full pay the reduced officers who are senior in their rank shall be the first restored.

Or on promotion, should these periods of service not be already completed.

"16. The relative rank of the Medical Officers of our army shall be as follows:

"Staff or regimental Assistant-Surgeon as a Lieutenant, according to the date of his commission; and after six years' full pay service as Captain, according to the date of the completion of such service.

"Staff or regimental Surgeon as Major, according to the date of his commission; and SurgeonMajor as Lieutenant-Colonel, but junior of that rank.

"Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals, as Lieutenant-Colonel, according to the date of his commission; and after five years' full-pay service as Deputy Inspector-General as Colonel, according to the date of the completion of such service.

"Inspector-General of Hospitals as Brigadier-General, according to the date of his commission; if with an army in the field, or after three years' full-pay service as Inspector-General, as a MajorGeneral, from the date of his joining such army in the field, or according to the date of the completion of such service.

"17. Such relative rank shall carry with it all precedence and advantages attaching to the rank with which it corresponds (except as regards the presidency of Courts-martial, where our will and pleasure is, that the senior combatant officer be always president), and shall regulate the choice of quarters, rates of lodging money, servants, forage, fuel, and light, or allowances in their stead, detention, and prize money. But when a Medical Officer is serving with a regiment or detachment, the officer commanding, though he be junior in rank to such Medical Officer, is entitled to a preference in the choice of quarters.

"18. Medical Officers shall be entitled to all the allowances granted by our warrant of the 13th of July, 1857, on account of wounds and injuries received in action, as combatant officers holding the same relative ranks.
