Ambulances.—Infectious diseases are removed to hospital
by the Metropolitan Asylums Board (now the L.C.C.) Ambulance,
by arrangement with the Joint Hospital Committee, on
a mileage basis. Non-infectious and accident cases are carried
by a Borough Ambulance, which is under the control of the Fire
Brigade, and during the year was used for 328 street accidents
and 632 private and other cases.
The ambulance for the medical services of the Borough is
used mainly for the conveyance of school children. During the
year it covered 11,792 miles and carried 20,807 passengers.
