Major Hutchinson.
Mr. Gent and I discussed this. We thought
that it would be necessary to telegraph to the
Governor about the salary. The new medical scale
is £700, £700, £760 x £30 - £940/£1,000 x £50 -
£1,150 + residential allowance at rates which are
still under consideration; and it is proposed to
ask the Governor whether he agrees to this scale
for the new Health Officers, with provision for
the grant of initial salary two increments above
the minimum for a candidate with the D. P. H. as
proposed in No. 16 on 20452/10/38 Personnel, i.e.
a candidate with the D.P.H. would be offered the
scale £790, £790, £820 x £30 £940/£1,000 x £50 -
£1,150 + residential allowance.

You will see that on page 1 of the paper
of particulars it is stipulated that the candidates
should possess the D. P. H. or the D. T. M. and H, and
before telegraphing we should like to know
(a)
what are the prospects of securing
candidates with the D.P.H. at the rate
proposed?
(b) What are the prospects of securing
candidates already in possession of the
D. T. M. and H?
If the answers to (a) and (b) are
unfavourable, would it be correct to say that if
candidates ordinarily qualified were selected now
they could not be expected to get the D. T. M. and H.
before March, 1940?
