Not sure a strict liability 'fit-note' isn't going to lead to fixed penanlties or non-payment of GP's and doctors who fail to deliver fit-for-purpose employees on demand, on time; a model used elsewhere based around only paying doctors when well and not when unwell and that may cause other problems!
Probably really really need to do a lot better at reducing the 'friendly fire' of omission to prevent too higher levels of 'collateral damage to Uk human resources' in the first as investing in not harming employees will surely reduce the more significant costs of repair or rehabilitation.
Of course, the concept of 'consultation' between GP and patient where some information may be shared, without infringing doctor patient confidentiality, may go someway toward fostering a transition from a 'them and us' where basically suspicious relationship prevail to one of "truth & reconsiliation" between employer or DWP if unemployed in receipt of benefits.
This would be especially true where increasing numbers of human resources have been broken through an omission to protect them from the friendly fire associated with a industrial disease related to a psychosocial stressor rather than solely physiological injury.
