SIR – Re ‘Council sickness purge saves £1m’ (T&A, December 4). If this is so, then logically some sickness claims have been, and are, not genuine? Unless the Council has someone administering instantaneous cures on site.
However, as £1 million has been saved then it must be considered a surplus, since it would not have been saved without the purge and therefore would not have been available.
I suggest that it should be put towards renovating the Odeon which many Bradfordians would support – after all the Council created a £4 million overspend with the park! This act might redeem them.
