Section B.
GENERAL PROVISIONS OF HEALTH SERVICES
IN THE DISTRICT.
(a) Laboratory facilities. No change.
(b) Ambulance facilities. Towards the end of the year,
authority was obtained for the use of Civil Defence
ambulances and cars for the conveyance of medical and
surgical cases to and from hospitals within the London
Civil Defence area, when the ordinary public transport

has benefited many sick persons and also
familiarised the ambulance drivers with the hospitals
in their area.
