Crisis management.

They’re only to be used if things get really bad, on the basis that treating people somewhere is better than not treating them at all. If they are used, then anyone who can possibly do anything remotely useful will be used along with them.

This country had a standing army of 0.8 million in 1939, including Territorials. It had 2.9 million by 1945. In a crisis, those hospitals will be operational, one way or another. If it came to volunteering to learn how to do basic hospital tasks so the pros can do the technical stuff, I’d be there. I’m sure I’d not be the only one to answer such an appeal. In an existential crisis parliament does of course have the absolute power to enact a conscription programme of one sort or another.
