Ambulance Facilities.
(a) For Infectious Cases.— The Chiswick and Ealing Hospitals
Committee have a motor ambulance in which all cases of infectious
disease are removed to their Isolation Hospital in South Ealing.
(b) For Non- Infectious and Accident Cases.—The Council has
two motor ambulances for the removal of general or accident cases
to the local hospitals or nursing homes or to hospitals in London.
One of these is a new ambulance purchased last year and the other
is a war-time ambulance lent by the Middlesex Ambulance Committee.
The latter is being replaced by a modern ambulance,
similar to that already possessed by the Council. These ambulances
also serve the demands of Hanwell and Greenford.

half her time to the work and the question of employing the second
nurse for the whole of her time has recently been under consideration
