It will allow atténdents to give the doctor a precise description of a patient's condition.

The ambulance radios are tuned in' to the Central Dispatch Communications System located at the Oshawa General Hospital which picks up the message and transmits it directly to any hospital in the Region. Also, as part of the improved . communications systems, paging atenna installed. on top of the water tower in Port Perry allows strong, clear signals to be picked up anywhere in the Township.
