Creates a digital portal for approved doctors to record whether a person is fit, temporarily fit, fit with driving restrictions, or unfit to drive. The medical opinion is sent automatically to prefecture services, and the prefecture’s decision can be stored and sent digitally to the driver. The portal will handle identity, contact, licence, medical fitness, professional activity where relevant, and doctor accreditation data. Access is limited to approved doctors and authorised government staff. Drivers can request access, correction, or limits on processing, but they cannot object to this processing.
