Ceneral and Accident Cases. In 1938 a new Ambulance Service
was provided by the Council operating from the new Fire Station in
Belmont Road. The Council on the 29th June, 1935, undertook responsibility
for any expenses incurred by the Police, or other persons, in the
provision of an ambulance for the removal of cases of accidents occurring
in the Borough.
NURSING IN THE HOME.
This service is undertaken mainly by the staff of the Beddington
and Wallington District Nursing Association and their work in the
Borough is greatly appreciated.
During the year the District Nurses attended 1,006 cases, including
76 maternity and 93 midwifery patients.
