Abstract
Public health officers have to write a medical certificate for public authorities requesting them to do so. This certificate is to contain all the results of medical examinations required for the respective purpose, thus enabling the recipient authorities to take the decisions incumbent on them, such as those judging fitness for service or entitlement to claim. In case the persons concerned agree, a transmission of data is admissible independent of statutory provisions. However, this should always be oriented towards minimum data transmission. Nevertheless, lack of consent or even an adverse intention of the person concerned cannot serve as a blockade in so far as the public health officer has complied with current criminal and data privacy regulations.
