§ 103. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Labour what special arrangements he has made for placing in suitable employment of those who have suffered from tuberculosis, particularly in view of the reluctance of employers to engage such persons.
§ Mr. WatkinsonLocal officers of the Ministry take every opportunity of enlisting the aid of employers in the employment of tuberculous persons, in conjunction with medical officers of health who are able to advise employers on the suitability of working conditions and necessary safeguards.
For those severely disabled by tuberculosis, employment under sheltered conditions is available in some Remploy factories and in workshops provided by local authorities and voluntary organisations.
