Off sick with what?
We had one with the cause of absence being TATT - which apparently
means "tired all the time". I had to scrape the boss off the
ceiling.............

well my two-penneth worth is also along the lines of frustration!
A recent case has been an individual off sick for over 4 months, whilst
under
various consultants. We have finally had reports back and there's no
underlying medical condition.
Here's the rub!
A letter stating the results and conclusion was sent to the GP 2 months
ago,
yet notes have still been issued, and the individual remains 'off sick'
as I type
this.
We could go down the route of challenging the GP, but this would
increase
time further.
I have given the OH position and it's now down to HR.
I always look on the positive side, but even I have to admit I can't see
this
changing, regardless of the Black Report. It's such a pity the trial to
have OH
professionals issue sick notes wasn't supported and consequently failed.
regards
Glenn
