The Council has an agreement with the Borough Councils of
Barking and Ilford for the reciprocal use of ambulances and for
the conveyance of street cases. In the event of the ambulance of
one Authority being called to a case just inside the boundary of
one of the other districts, the patient is removed by the ambulance
summoned. Both ambulances were out together 245 times,
while in addition on 27 occasions when both vehicles were in
commission, the ambulance of one of the neighbouring Authorites
was requisitioned. During the year use was made of the Ilford
ambulance on 15 occasions and of the Barking ambulance 12 times.
Ilford called on the Dagenham ambulance six times, and Barkis
twice.
