AMBULANCE SERVICE
Infectious Diseases .
Cases of infectious disease are convoyed from their
homes to the Joint Isolation Hospital by the London County
Council Ambulance Service, an arrangament which has given complete
satisfaction for many years.
General.
Medical, surgical and accident cases re conveyed by
the Joint Ambulance Service (Hornsey, Finchley, Wood Green and
Friern Barnet) with Headquarters at O k L no off the Great North
Road at East Finchley.
As speed is an important factor in the removal of
casualties, a report is made to the Health Committee each month
of the time taker between the. c 1 for the ambulance and its
arrival at the seenc of the accident. The very sma11 average
time occupied on these journeys is a testimony to the
alertness and efficiency of this Service. I desire also to
acknowledge the skill nd care with which the ambulance personnel
handle their patients and minister to their comfort until they
arrive at hospita1.
The following cases were removed in Hornsey by the
Joint Ambulence Service:-
Accidents - 290
Other cases - 2.060
2,350
