Ambulance crews from Brixton and Streatham are being armed with a new multi-lingual emergency phrase book to help in the speedy treatment of non-English speaking patients.
Patients will be able to simply point to their responses to questions in one of 30 different languages. The booklet covers Albanian to Vietnamese.
Converted for the new archive on 30 June 2000. Some images and formatting may have been lost in the conversion.
