OTHER SERVICES
MEDICAL EXAMINATION OF STAFF
Ninety-two persons were medically examined to determine their fitness
for acceptance on the permanent staff. Eighty-nine were found to be fit.
One of the conditions of the new scheme for sickness pay for all
employees who come within the scope of the National and Provincial
Councils for Non-Trading Services (Manual Workers), which came into
operation on the 5th July 1948, is that all new employees be required to

service with the Council in order to determine their fitness for admission
to the scheme. Seventy-four persons were examined, sixty-six of whom
were accepted for the scheme.
