Advisory Medical Officers of Trade Unions could by permission be the lecturers, so providing a link to the Trade Unions between the Labour College and the General Staff. (G) It will also be the duty of the medical section of the General Staff to see to the collection of data, statistics, etc. on special subjects with Health aspects in which the Labour and Trade Union movements may from time to time be interested. SUMMARY. 1. Trade Unions, either singly or in combination, have at present no medical staff, and are urged to consider the desirability of appointing an Advisory Medical Officer. 2. The duties of this officer will be to advise chiefly on the medical aspects of different cases affecting individual members, and the particular Trade Union, and the Labour Movement as a whole, and to secure by the terms and statue of his appointment facilities for quicker treatment in institutions, and for reduction of specialist fees. 3. Many private industrial undertakings and combines are now devising schemes for their employees on these ideas - so as to strengthen their exploiting system against the Labour movement and gain the sympathy of their workers. 4. The scheme is elastic - so as to fit in with conditions affecting particular districts particular Trade Unions General Staff of Labour movement. 5. The adoption of scheme would demonstrate Labour's interest in Medicine, accelerate many claimant medical reforms in education and treatment, free would-be sympathisers from the threat of victimisation, give status to the Officer appointed, secure Labour representation on the committees and boards of voluntary institutions, and redound to the credit of Labour statesmanship.
