Medical Retirements and Deaths in Service of Diabetic Employees in the Post Office

R. A. WELCH

Post Office Occupational Health and Safety Executive, London, UK

The first two papers in this series described the work experiences of diabetics in one Post Office Region (Welch, 1986) and the range of duties and problems they faced (Welch, 1987). This paper focuses on the national picture of medical retirements and deaths in service of diabetic employees in the Post Office

During the 10 year period (1975–1984) the median ages of retiral of diabetic employees were somewhat higher than other employees who retired on ill health grounds. Male diabetic employees who died in service had somewhat lower mean and median ages than other employees who died in service.
