PART VII
GENERAL.
Medical Examination of Candidates for Employment in Established
Posts of the Tottenham Borough Council.
During the twelve months ended 5th April, 1950, a total of 61
candidates for established posts were examined in the Tottenham
Health Department.
This examination included the taking of a personal and family
history of illness, a clinical examination of all systems, a blood
pressure reading, a urine test, and a chest X-ray. Chest X-rays
were carried out by previous appointment at the Chest Clinic, Tottenham,
so that they followed shortly after the clinical examination
at the Town Hall. The very few candidates presenting written
evidence of a satisfactory mass radiography result within the previous
twelve months were not X-rayed.
Of the 61 candidates examined, 45 were men and 16 women.
