as to the nature of the disease must be handed to the
Ambulance Driver. The charge for the hire of an
ambulance to a place within the metropolitan area,
including, when the patient is over twelve years of age,
the services of a male attendant, is 10s., which
must be paid to the Driver, who will give an official
receipt. The services of a Nurse will also be supplied,
if desired, at an additional charge of 5s. Application
should be made from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. to the M.A.B.
