MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS.
In accordance with the Standing Order of the Court that no person shall enter
the employ of the Corporation or any of its Committees without previously passing a
medical examination to the satisfaction of the Committee having cognizance of the
appointment, 84 persons were examined by the Medical Officer of Health during
1913, and with one exception, all were reported as physically fit for office. Ten
officers were also medically examined with a view to their retirement, and of these 8,
or 80 per cent., were reported to be unfit for duty.
In addition to the foregoing, medical examinations were made of persons accepted
by the Central (Unemployed) Body, on the recommendation of the City of London
Distress Committee, for employment on the Labour Colony at Hollesley Bay, established
by the Central Body under the Unemployed Workmen Act, 1905.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Medical Officer of Health for the
City of London.
Public Health Department.
Guildhall, E.C.
