Re: Sick note

Apparently one of reasons behind the changes is to drive down sickness rates. Apparently their is genuine concern for some workers who are signed off for long periods and evidence suggests it prolongs their illness,it suggests that in this respect these reforms have a positive influence for some workers. It has been thought doctors will not always have the knowledge required to make an informed decision about how much work their patient is able to do as the physical and emotional demands of jobs vary widely between work places. This is my concern.I still say its ridiculous.
