Dawn, Nottinghamshire County Council has a policy whereby all employees are offered posts subject to medical clearance (preferred candidates only as per EA2010). We screen all forms and see anyone as needed. However with very rare exceptions (eg LGV driver with epilepsy on medication where there is an absolute ban from DVLA), our advice is fit or fit with adjustments and leave the decision to employ or not to the managers. So a combination of both Anna's and Gillians replies would be okay Thanks Kim Kim Scaysbrook Occupational Health Advisor Environment and Resources Department Nottinghamshire County Council Byron House Millers Way Sutton in Ashfield NG17 4NX Tel 01623 665960 Fax 01623 665969 Mobile 07736216455 Dawn V <[log in to unmask]> Sent by: [log in to unmask] 23/03/2012 13:40 Please respond to Occupational Health mailing list <[log in to unmask]> To [log in to unmask] cc Subject [OCC-HEALTH] Job Offer subject to satisfactory medical Dear Wise and Wisdom, I have been given a question which is- Can you offer a job subject to a being cleared as medical fit.
