MEDICAL EXAMINATION OF STAFF
Thirty persons were medically examined to determine their fitness
for acceptance on the permanent staff. Twenty-five were found to be fit.
One of the conditions of the scheme for sickness pay for all employees
who come within the scope of the National and Provincial
Councils for Non-Trading Services (Manual Workers) is that all new
employees be required to submit to a medical examination before the
completion of six months' service with the Council in order to determine
their fitness for admission to the scheme. Sixty-one persons were examined,
fifty-seven of whom were accepted for the scheme. Three other
examinations were carried out.
DISEASES OF ANIMALS
The Borough Council is the Local Authority for Hornsey under the
Diseases of Animals Acts and the Council's Veterinary Inspector is

under the Foot and Mouth Disease Orders.
