(b) For Non-Infectious and Accident Cases.—
A motor ambulance is provided by the Council
which is available at any time night or day in cases
of accident or sudden illness in the street, irrespective
of boundaries.
The ambulance is also available, within certain
limits, for the removal of private cases at any time
upon the production of a medical certificate and
evidence of accommodation having been arranged
at the Hospital, etc., to which the patient is to be
taken, and upon payment of the prescribed fee.
Owing to the number of calls on the ambulance
service during the year under review, it might be
advisable for the provision of a second ambulance
to be considered.
