I have looked in archives to no avail and have faith that just asking you will be quicker!! Where can I look to source evidence that could support a recommendation that working alternate half days is likely to benefit someone recovering from condition X. My eyes and brain are screwy as I have been writing an assignment all weekend... Under normal circumstances I would trawl!
