§ 22. Mr. DORANasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that local arrange- 1649 ments for the use of an ambulance do not permit an ambulance to render aid, even in the case of a serious accident, in an adjoining district; and will he call together a conference of all the metropolitan and local authorities concerned, with a view to legislation to put an end to the present conditions which endanger the life of an injured person?
Sir H. YOUNGI am not aware that the position generally throughout the country is as stated in the first part of the question. I am causing inquiries to be made into the circumstances of the case recently reported in the Press in which difficulty arose, and I will consider whether any general action is necessary.
