How long has this been going on Glenn?
How many times has it happened?
Would DDA apply?
Is the diagnosis Unexplained loss of consciousness?

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Absence of Diagnosis
Morning
can I ask for opinions on what the situation is when a diagnosis is not
known?
For example, I have a member of staff who has had absence from work due
to
episodes of loss of consciousness. They have had restrictions put in
place
and then a further episode causes further absence.
A variety of medics (Consultants/GP's) have been unable to make a
diagnosis
based on various investigations.
HR are wondering about a Capapbility issue, but my concern from an OH
point
of view is can they do this without a diagnosis? For example, what if
this
was done and then a diagnosis and treatment was subsequently found and
health was returned to normal? Would OH be at fault as much as HR?
any thoughts?
regards
Glenn
