RAF Form 836

1.  The SMC and FST is not a hospital unit despite our holding capacity

2.  All DDA stocks received from Med Akrotiri are entered on B.Med 13 and RAF Form 4909 and are signed out on issue by a registered nurse or Doctor. They are also prescribed on Form 6573

3.  As this is not a hospital and does not have a dispensary or a dispenser there is no justification in in my opinion for RAF Form 836

4.  If however it is felt that these forms should be raised the may I suggest that a dispenser and extra clerical staff be assigned to this unit.

  We did not gain a dispenser but we did gain some notoriety
