In any collection of figures it is desirable to know the population at risk, but one is
surprised at the frequency with which young people suffer from albuminuria. This secondary

Medical Examination of Borough Council Employees
During 1964, a total of 102 medical examinations were carried out on applicants for
Borough Council employment or members of the Borough Council staff. These examinations
were carried out with regard to suitability for employment on the Council's permanent
staff, for entry into the Sickness Pay Scheme, or for review after prolonged periods
of sick leave.
A survey of sickness absence amongst Borough Council staff during the year is
shown in the table below, and the comparable statistics for the five previous years.

It is disappointing that in a year of such splendid weather the sickness record of the
outdoor staff should be so poor. The number of sick was the highest since 1959, and the
number of days of sickness even higher.
