STAFF MEDICAL ASSESSMENTS, EXAMINATIONS AND SICK PAY REPORTS
There was little change in the total number of combined medical assessments during the year
1968 as compared with 1967, a decrease from 1,865 in 1967 to 1,806 in 1968. There was also a
small decrease in the proportion of new applicants who were medically examined in 1968, just under
21%, compared with 25% in 1967.
There was a considerable decrease in the number of Sick Pay Reports made, from 130 in 1967
to 79 in 1968. This was probably due to the standardisation throughout the Departments of the
Borough of the conditions under which Sick Pay Reports were requested.
