MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS
Candidates for permanent appointment to the Council's
service are required to pass a medical examination on
appointment as are manual staff for admission to the
Sickness Pay Scheme of the National Joint Industrial
Council for Local Authorities Non- Trading Services.
During the year the following examinations were
carried out:-
Administrative, Technical and Clerical Staff 62
Sickness Pay Scheme (Servants) 126

Pay Scheme so that staff who would previously have been
excluded from benefit due to some particular condition
may now be passed with reservations. These employees are
paid for all absences due to conditions other than the
disability specified at their examination. This arrangement
appears to have worked satisfactorily during the
year. The results of the examinations have been as
follows:-
