The original NPPL Medical Declaration system did at least require the pilot to visit a GP to countersign the certificate. There were 2 grades, one which permitted flight with passengers and one which did not.

But the new brooms at the CAA have swept that level of prudence away and now anyone can simply lie like a cheap Changi watch and self-declare.
