Particulars of this ambulance were given in my Annual
Report, 1903, page 78. Sutton Messent, Esq., 234, Burrage
Road, is acting as Hon. Secretary for the Ambulance.
An ambulance for non-infectious illness can now be obtained
from the ambulance station of the Asylums Board on
payment of 5s., but in spite of this there seems little diminution
in the use of the Woolwich Ambulance.
61. Co-operation with the Royal Army Medical Corps.
The co-operation with the Army Medical Officers of Medical
Officers of Health was requested by the Local Government
Board and willingly offered by your Medical Officer of
Health. The sanitary condition of Woolwich Common was
very Unsatisfactory in the early months after war was
declared. Certain suggestions were made and an improvement
resulted. Information has been given and received
with respect to billeting. All possible assistance has been
given in disinfection of articles and premises.
