Have I got this right?

[Fed]

We went live a few weeks ago. There was 8 of us that had been previously ring fenced on duties for medical reasons. The COM re-referred us all to Occ Health again for review. 7 were refused as OH have no say on whether duties can be ring fenced for a repick. I had an interview with OH as currently off sick, they wanted to check I was being dealt with fairly at present. They categorically stated, they are unable to advise on ring fencing duties as this is contractual / business decision and not an OH one.

Who ring fenced the 8 duties previously?

OH did. But they can't do it for a re-pick. Once the re-pick is done they can advise ring fencing certain people on duties again if need be (so no work can be added afterwards for example) . But they aren't allowed to do it beforehand.

It therefore would be sheer stupidity to not keep them ring fenced if there is every chance it will need done within 4 weeks of going into DM26. Fingers crossed for you all.
