and
 
2(e) of CS(MA) Rules says…
“2(e) “Government hospital” includes a military hospital, any railway hospital notified in this behalf by the Central Government, a hospital maintained by a local authority and any other hospital with which arrangements have been made by the Government for the treatment of its officers;”
 
The question of a Central Government Employee may get treatment in recognition of Railway Hospitals under Rule 2(d) and 2(e) of CS(MA)Rules, 1944 or not.
 
This issue was taken up with the Ministry of Railways.
 
The Railway Ministry has informed (through the Office Memorandum published by Min.of H&FW, No. F.29/5/74-MA. dated 16th July, 1975) that while it does not confer any rights on the Central Government Employees to get treatment in Railway Hospitals, they can, subject to the availability of accommodation, avail of such medical attendance and treatment as admissible to outsiders in Railway Hospitals on payment of the charges prescribed for outsiders as amended from time to time. Preference will, however, be given to Central Government Employees amongst outsiders.
