5. On the requisition of any inspector or sub-inspector of constabulary, or head constable in charge of a station, it shall be lawful for the board of guardians to admit into the workhouse infirmary or fever hospital any constable or sub-constable of the said force on service within the union, who shall be suffering from fever or other disease or bodily injury requiring treatment in hospital; and every such constable or sub-constable shall contribute the full average cost of daily maintenance and establishment charges, medical and surgical treatment in such hospital for the whole term of his continuance therein; and the amount of such cost may be recovered by the guardians of the union by the same ways and means as the cost of relief given by way of loan is recoverable under the Acts in force for the relief of the destitute poor in Ireland.
