BBC NEWS | England | Lancashire | Council attacks sicknote culture
Blackburn Council's reaction to sicknote culture has saved them over 1.3 million pounds in the last year. Here is a good example of forward thinking human resource management. It gives faster health care to it's employees, and cuts out the role of the GP. Average sickness in the ranks of Blackburn's employees is now the lowest in the North-West.
Such a scheme, all be it slightly different to arrangements in South Tyneside could still realise substantial savings, money which is badly needed now to make up for the massive 4.1 million pound overspend.
