(b) Medical Examinations
During 1963, 58 medical examinations were carried out -25 of
these were in respect of entrants to the Council's employ for
acceptance into the Superannuation Scheme, 15 in respect of work
men already in the Council s employ for acceptance into the
Superannuation Scheme, and 18 in respect of workmen for acceptance
into the Sickness Pay Scheme.
In addition, 43 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. In this connection it is a pleasure to acknowledge
the courtesy and co-operation which I have invariably received
from the General Practitioners in Wood Green.
