Surely, in instances such as this, you can simply send the insurance company
a report after having anonymised the names of the drivers. The insurance
company does not need to know the actual name of each driver for the
purposes of the quotation - just provide them with details of driver A, B, C
etc....

Hi
An insurance company who provide insurance for drivers employed in our
transport dept have asked for medical details and details of penalty points
on each driver before providing a quotation etc.. I assume that we must get
consent from the individuals - Is this correct?
Does other legislation that comes into play eg Medical Reports Act 1998?
Would appreciate any opinions on this
Thanks
