Evidence of recent satisfactory chest X-ray examination is required from
all applicants. When this is not available this service is undertaken by the
Hammersmith Chest Clinic under the special general practitioners service.
This arrangement, a recent innovation, has worked extremely satisfactorily
over the year. No charge is made by the Chest Clinic for these examinations,
but the Council has recognised this valuable service by making a contribution of
£400 to the Hammersmith Hospital Chest Clinic Instrument Fund.
The scheme for controlling sick leave works smoothly and satisfactorily.
During the year 69 examinations were carried out in this connection.
