My Lord,
I have the honour to refer to Mr. Churchill's
64572/2, despatch No.183 of 25th June, 1921, on the subject of free
courses for Government Medical Officers at the London
School of Tropical Medicine from which it would appear that
this Government is entitled in respect of its annual grant
of £100 to free courses for its medical officers up to a
maximum of five in any one year.
2. In this connection I have recently received a communication from a private medical practitioner practising
in the Colony enquiring whether, in the event of the
Government not requiring the full number of free courses,
local private practitioners would be eligible for the
balance.
3. I have been unable to trace any recent ruling
on the point; but a record of a visit to the Colony in 1908
of Sir Francis Lovell representing the London School of
Tropical Medicine shows that at that time all medical
practitioners whether in Government service or not were, up to a maximum of three in any one session, entitled to
free courses. It is unlikely at the present time that as
many
