Hi Glenn
When they say "occupational health check" do they mean "fitness for
work" checks? Or the general health screening that still goes on under
the guise of OH pre-placement screening? In my opinion if it's the 2nd
then yes they are likely to have more "yes" answers but the question is
are they necessarily going to affect that persons fitness for work?

"Under the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 - requiring all
new
starters to undergo an occupational health check may be regarding as
indirect discrimination as older workers are less likely to pass
What are your views on this - how are other Trusts are dealing with it?"
