REPORT OF INVESTIGATION
13. CONCLUSION
MEDICAL AT OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT
13.1 On the face of it there is no doubt that Wigglesworth was referred for a medical, by DCFO Smith, very quickly. DCFO Smith confirmed it was him who personally organised the medical for Wigglesworth. DCFO smith also confirmed that he personally spoke to the brigade medical officer, Dr David Deacon, on the day of the medical and fully briefed him about Wigglesworth’s medical history and the current issues.
13.2 Wigglesworth asserted that the quick referral and DCFO Smith’s personal intervention in it was unprecedented, unusual and completely unacceptable. Wigglesworth also said that the Doctor also agreed with concern and was unhappy about being embroiled in a personal dispute between him and DCFO Smith. Doctor Deacon declined to take part in this investigation on the grounds of medical confidentiality and conflict of interest. As far as DCFO smith was concerned he said he had not received any adverse comments from the Doctor in connection with the approach he adopted for the referral. DCFO Smith also said that there was absolutely nothing unusual about Wigglesworth’s referral and his part in it. As to it being quick the DCFO said it was merely a result of the fact that the Doctor had been pre-booked for the day in question and that he did not have a full caseload.
