I've opted out. Having seen what AVMED do to pilots in the AAT and assuming they get access to electronic records, your medical certificate is at the mercy of every treating doctor and doctors do make diagnostic mistakes. In addition some conditions may be transient and have no lasting impact; e.g. "suspected heart attack" - turns out to be a throat spasm. "Depression" - heart to heart in a surgery after a divorce or death in the family, "Asthma" - turns out to be hay fever. "Illegal drug intoxication" - childhood dare by a 16year old. The problem with electronic records: once an entry is made, it's impossible to erase and it's there for posterity. Furthermore, nothing a Government says today can bind a future Government.
