Act No. 1925, enacted on May 20, 1909, amends a previous law regarding medical attendance for civil officers and employees in remote locations.

The act specifies that the traveling expenses for the attending physician or nurse will be charged to the bureau or office connected to the patient, or to the provincial treasury if applicable. However, the act does not cover the patient's travel expenses to or from a hospital, which remain their personal responsibility. This amendment is effective immediately upon passage.

SECTION 1. Section one of Act Numbered Eleven hundred and twenty-four is hereby amended to read as follows:
"SECTION 1. In any case where an officer or employee of the Insular Government or of a provincial government is ill at a point remote from a hospital under the control of the Insular or of a provincial government, and it appears to the satisfaction of the Governor-General that medical attendance on such officer or employee is necessary to preserve his life, the Governor-General may order any medical officer in the employ of the Insular or of a provincial government to attend to such ill person and, if necessary, conduct him to the nearest hospital for treatment. In case the attending physician and surgeon of a hospital under the control of the Insular or of a provincial government is so ordered to give such medical attendance he may, if he shall deem it more advisable, designate in his stead for such duty a competent nurse in the employ of the Government. The actual and necessary traveling expenses of such physician or nurse shall be a proper charge against the contingent appropriations of the Bureau or Office with which the patient is connected, and, if the patient is an employee of a provincial government, such traveling expenses may be made a proper charge against the provincial treasury. In no case shall this Act be construed to cover the traveling expenses or subsistence of such ill employee to or from a hospital, such expenses being a personal charge to be borne by him. This Act may be construed retroactively to cover such cases of traveling expenses as herein provided for as may be specifically approved by the Governor-General."
SECTION 2. This Act shall take effect on its passage.
