Ambulance Facilities.
(a) Infectious cases sent to Waltham Joint Hospital are
removed in a motor ambulance attached to the Hospital.
(b) Non-infectious and accident cases are removed in an
Ambulance loaned to the Council by the British Red Cross

an Ambulance for its own use. This will in all probability
be carried out in the near future.
