He rang today. He’s got my letter. He’s pursuing the procedural issue around a lack of medical advice. I told him it was unnecessary as he had told Paul h his absence was directly attributable to his accident and he had caused his accident through his own lack of care. He was fairly rude and I told him there was no pint in being facetious. In view of his attitude and the content of his conversation, I told him he should pursue the matter as a grievance. (i.e. he did not say that he had in fact tripped and hurt his back since the incident on 1st May ; he did not express any anxiety about his finances; he did not say he had an underlying back problem; he went straight for the procedural point).
