(1)In Jails where there are two or more Medical Subordinates their duties shall be so arranged by the Medical Officer that the work is fairly distributed and that one or other of them shall be always present throughout the day. They shall, when circumstances permit, be required to sleep in turn in the hospital from 10 p.m. until the unlocking of the jail next morning. They shall all be present whilst the Medical Officer is visiting the sick, and at such other times as he considers necessary.(2)In jails where there is but one Medical Subordinate, whose sole duty is in connection with the jail, he shall remain present throughout the day except when allowed to be absent for meals. When the Medical Subordinate of a neighbouring institution attends to the jail, he shall pay a visit in the early morning and another in the evening before lock-up. The Medical Sub- ordinate should visit the hospital frequently at night when any prisoner is seriously ill and see that the medicines and food prescribed have been distributed, he must be prepared at all times to attend when his services are called for.
