This has been something of a difficulty in the past, in my experience. People have avoided disciplinary action they were obliged to face by retiring on the grounds of ill health. There was some evidence of a degree of collusion by management in the matters at which I looked in order that a case could be removed from the books or a difficult employee could be removed. Does this amendment cover such matters? Does it mean that a person can escape all disciplinary action by submitting a resignation notice or by leaving on grounds of ill health?
