Or it could have been when they looked at the report it didn't give the answers they wanted given to the company! We have a clause written into our employees contracts that they can be asked to see a doctor if we require them to in relation to medical issues. This may be an option for you to follow up. We also had it at my previous employers it's a fairly standard inclusion - they don't have to consent to this as it's a contractual term and condition. It doesn't stop them refusing to attend though - I've experienced this scenario recently.

They were aware that on call duties were a part of their job description. I think they are trying to stall as they are not getting the answers they wanted. I have already written to the GP, and the client has gone along to look at the report and has subsequently withdrawn consent as they did not like the questions I asked!

Kind Regards Debbie ----- Original Message ----- From: Tracy Bluestone <mailto:[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: 02 January 2008 15:44 Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] consent I am having an interesting day! I am dealing with a client who is know to be quite difficult. This client basically does not wish to do on call, and had consented to me writing to thier GP for further info. This client has now withdrawn their consent. I am offering them another appointment to come in and discuss where to go from here. This is the first time in 10 years of OH this has happened to me - new experiences already for 2008. Has anyone else had this happen, if so, how did you deal with it? any advice is gratefully accepted. Tracy Bluestone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
