I once saw a copy of a medical questionnaire which was collected by HR then
passed on to an outside healthcare company - staff were asked the following
questions (among many, many others) regardless of their gender, job type or
whatever:
Do you bite your nails?
Are you colour blind?
When was the last time you had a smear test?
Some staff at the council expressed concern.
