A considerable amount of administrative duty
has been called for with regard to the Casualty
Services. These services were tested in the
Battle of London and it may be justly claimed
that the services proved themselves capable of
giving all that was expected of them. As an
indication of the multiplicity of the matters
dealt with in circulars from the Central
Authorities, and of the necessity for constant
reconsideration it may be stated that during the
year 361 "instructions" were issued to Depot
Superintendents, the largest number in any one
month being 56 and the smallest number 20; to
the Sisters at the First Aid Posts 225 "instructions"
were issued, the largest number in any one
month being 42 and the smallest number 12;
while 26 letters dealing with details of medical
treatment referred to in circulars, with equipment
and with the training of personnel and with other
administrative matters were issued to the Medical
Officers in Charge of the First Aid Posts.
