Re: Anthony David Wigglesworth. Lowestoft. D.o.b. 10.07.57
Further to the personal referral by Deputy, Mr smith, and my telephone conversation with Mr Smith on the afternoon 15th September 1998, I have seen and examined Fire-fighter Anthony David Wigglesworth on the afternoon of 15th September 1998 at Bury St Edmunds Fire Station. The referral was with respect to Mr Wigglesworth’s fitness for operational duties and assessment of his psychological state in light of stress reaction having been raised as an issue by Mr Wigglesworth.
I understand from Mr Wigglesworth that he has had sickness absence in May/June 1998 as a result of a back injury sustained during the course of his operational duties.
In discussion with Mr Wigglesworth he confirmed to me various issues regarding his relationship with the management in the Fire Service. He was not willing to elaborate upon these issues in any great detail, but I understand that various formal procedures are under way. I made it very clear to Mr Wigglesworth that my role was to assess his fitness for work and address any health issues that may have arisen; in his particular case this required addressing issues of stress that may have arisen during the course of his employment with the Fire Service.
Mr Wigglesworth was in fact very keen to assure me that he did not regard himself as under any undue stress or suffering from any stress reaction at this time. Psychological assessment of Mr Wigglesworth on the afternoon of 15th September 1998 gave me no indication that he was suffering any adverse effects which could be attributed to stress in his employment or any other circumstance.
Physical examination of Mr Wigglesworth on 15th September 1998 showed no abnormalities in the physical function of his vertebral column and his history gave no indication of any other medical condition which could effect his fitness for operational duties.
As a result of my consultation with Mr Wigglesworth on 15th September 1998 I am therefore in a position to advise you that in my opinion he is physically and psychologically fit for his operational duties without restriction. I could elicit no evidence of any ongoing medical condition which might prejudice his fitness for operational duties or other duties required of him by the Fire Service.
Yours sincerely
