    SECTION 27—AMBULANCE SERVICE. The ambulance service has been provided in the following ways :— 1. A direct service by the Health Committee. 2. Customer arrangements with adjoining authorities. Stations. There are thirteen depots and stations in the Riding. A two-bay extension to the Guisborough Station was completed during 1966 and a petrol pump was installed at this station during May 1967. Radio Control. A system of radio control continues to operate from the police masts at Ravenscar, Cold Kirby and the Pye Radio Telecommunications site at Eston Nab. Statistics. The continued increase in patients and mileage is due to further extensions of hospital out-patient departments, geriatric and mental day unit accommodation and the opening of the special care units at Redcar and Morton-on-Swale. It will be noticed that although there has been an increase of 23,974 patients and 131,394 miles during the years covered by the report, the miles per patient shows a further slight decrease as compared with 1965.
