Editor's Notes
- Since 2005 a surveillance scheme has collected reports of new cases of work-related ill health from a sample of around 300 general practitioners (GPs). The data confirms that musculoskeletal disorders are the most common type of work-related illness, but that mental ill health gives rise to more working days lost. Initial estimates for 2007 suggest the incidence of work-related ill health is roughly 1500 cases per 100 000 workers.
