JUSTIFICATION <br /> • <br /> AMBULANCE <br /> To provide a readily available ambulance for non-emergency transports. Since <br /> November 30, 1986, the citizens of Orange County have not had this service <br /> readily available to them. These calls have been hand],ed by the regular <br /> emergency crews, which has not only taxed this service but also meant these <br /> . ' calls could not be scheduled and were answered when the crews were not on <br /> emergency calls. This has resulted in many late appointments and much <br /> "waiting time" spent' by the patient. <br /> This ,ambulance would also be available as a back-up for emergency calls as <br /> needed. Increased call volume has meant that more and more there are times <br /> when the four (4) regularly scheduled emergency vehicles are on call at the - <br /> same time. This fifth ambulance would relieve this problem and provide <br /> an available ambulance for this overflow time. <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br />
