Arbitration Committee Meeting
held in the
The Coal Trade Offices, Newcastle-on-Tyne
On Monday, June 12th 1922
4604. Tudhoe. Roger Hardwick, 62, hewer.
Had his hand injured by a fall of stone on 15th July, 1921. He was paid compensation until 11th January, 1922, when he was reported as recovered from the injury by Dr. Pearson. The case was referred to the Official Medical Referee (Dr. Plummer), who reported on the 12th of April, 1922 :—
"The said Roger Hardwick is in good health. His left little finger is ankylosed at the second joint to an angle of about 15 degrees, the grip of the hand being slightly impaired but only as regards the little finger. He admits he could do his old work but not quite so well as before, and his condition is such that he is fit to resume his work as a hewer, but the contraction of the left little finger would handicap him to the extent of 5%.
The incapacity of Hardwick (5%) is due to the effects of his accident on 16th July, 1922."
To be paid compensation the rate of 2/6 per week as from the date of the report of the Official Medical Referee.
