AMBULANCE SERVICE
The provision of the Ambulance Service within this Borough
is the responsibility of the Greater London Council, and I am
indebted to the Chief Ambulance Officer for the following report: —
"Set out below are figures showing the number of patients
carried and mileage run in respect of the three ambulance
stations serving the London Borough of Bromley for the year
ended 31st December, 1966.
These figures also include some work arising outside of
the Borough of Bromley as the Sidcup ambulance station is
just inside the boundary of the Borough of Bexley and serves
both boroughs. In addition, the Bromley Borough is served by
ambulances based in the Borough of Croydon but separate
figures of patients so carried in the Bromley area are not
available".
