All such ranks and ratings again checked sick on shore or in hospital within fourteen days from expiration of their previous period of sickness on shore or in hospital shall be considered as being under continuous treatment, but only those days actually so checked shall be counted for the purposes of reduced pay in accordance with the terms specified above.

The term “hospital” includes the naval sick-quarters at Devonport.

  1. For the purpose of hospital stoppages, half-pay is to consist of half substantive and half non-substantive pay; but marriage allowance, dependant’s allowance, kit-upkeep allowance, and deferred pay (where payable) will continue in full.

  2. After ninety-one days all pay is to cease (i.e., including marriage, dependant’s, and kit-upkeep allowances, and deferred pay where payable).

  3. Hospital stoppages are to be charged in the ledger, and the relevant notations, &c., made in the manner laid down in the King’s Regulations and Admiralty Instructions.
