Staff Medical Examinations
The new system inaugurated in October 1969 continues to work satisfactorily.
All applicants for employment with the Council are required to complete
a detailed questionnaire which is considered by the Principal Medical
Officer who then decides whether a medical examination is necessary.
Medical examinations however are still carried out in the following cases
1. Personnel in contact with children.
2. Cases of prolonged sickness.
3. Personnel for extension of service.
4. All food handlers.
Chest X-Rays, however, are required in respect of all personnel.
Tribute must once again be paid to the general practitioners and hospital
specialists who supply essential information in so many cases. With their
specialised knowledge, which is so readily afforded, doubtful cases are
properly assessed to the mutual benefit of both Council and employee.
Statistical information is given below.
