reason of the fact that I am a member of the Medical Advisory
Committee of the Northern Group of Hospitals, a member of the
Medical Advisory Committee of Friern Hospital, and a member of
the North Middlesex Liaison Committee, my contacts, not only
with general practitioners but with consultant and other hospital
staffs can be readily maintained. I find that attendance at these
Committees is extremely useful, since it allows me to gain an
inside knowledge into the working of other branches of the medical
profession, and also permits a free interchange of views.
(b) Medical Examinations.
During 1958, eighteen medical examinations were carried out
in respect of entrants to the Council's services.
In addition, 3 medical reports were issued to employees absent
from duty for more than a short period through suckness.
