During 1962, 57 medical examinations were carried out in
respect of the new entrants to the Council's service.
In addition to these medical examinations, quite a number of
medical reports were obtained on employees absent from duty
for more than a short period through sickness. These reports were
obtained from the family doctor with whom, as has already been
said, we have the most happy relations, or from a hospital.
