At the beginning of 1953 the Council decided to put into
operation a scheme for streamlining sick leave arrangements.
The scheme still works smoothly and satisfactorily and during
the year 60 examinations were carried out in this connection.

Health Information Bureau.
The Health Information Bureau continued its works successfully
throughout the year and once again the opportunity was taken
to fuse into the Bureau the various lines of enquiry on numerous
health matters which normally come to the Department.
A revised copy of the Health Services Guide was printed and
approximately 2,500 copies were distributed to all interested persons
and to many places all over the world. The Guide has proved to be
a most valuable adjunct to the work of the Health Department.
