Thanks for the further discussion
I think I may have come across as a bit paranoid (classic amphetamine abuse behaviour!!!) and in doing so may have given you the wrong impression of myself! I am not that worried about this, I'm just treading very carefully. The ramifications of dealing with this incorrectly COULD be quite large but equally could be insignificant.
Strafer, my understanding after having worked in the NHS for some years is that it is illegal for the CAA to ask for medical details from your GP. Your medical records are totally confidential. My main concern is not one of being caught but of starting a new career and at the first hurdle not being totally honest!! However, I believe the point you make is very valid... don't tell if they don't ask
Whirly, I accept your points also, and your post makes me feel a lot happier, as they they often do
However, am I not correct in thinking the medical questionaire specifically asks if one has ever taken any illegal substances?
