Guide for use: | The term 'urgent' is left to the respondent's interpretation. Discretionary interviewer advice was for the respondent to include health issues that arose suddenly and were potentially serious; for example, fever, headache, vomiting, unexplained rash. Seeing a GP to get a medical certificate for work for a less serious illness would not be considered urgent. |
