(b) Medical Examinations.
During 1963, 39 medical examinations were carried
out in respect of the new entrants to the Council's service.
In addition to these medical examinations a
considerable number of medical reports were issued relating to
employees absent from duty for more than a short period through
sickness. These reports were obtained from the Family Doctor
or from a Hospital Consultant. In this connection it is a
pleasure to acknowledeg the courtesy and co-operation which I have
invariably received from the General Practitioners in Friern
Barnet.
