Description:
The electronic fit note, for use in general practice, was launched in 2010 to replace the old sick note.
NHS England collects anonymous data extracted from fit notes issued in GP practice record systems.
Data is extracted weekly. The data is then provided to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
