Applying for a Role in Health is unhealthy

My biggest bug bear with applying for admin roles in our local Health department is that they want to know a. If I’ve ever had a workers compensation claim (fucken none of their business as far as I can ascertain) and b. they want an itemised list of all my health issues, past operations, medical diagnosies, current medications, mental health assessments and carer responsibilities just “to keep on their files just in case” which to me seems invasive, AND unnecessary. Am I taking crazy pills but I feel like I will be judged according to my health – isn’t that bordering on discriminatory? I guess I won’t be working in health anytime soon because this is NOTHING like applying for admin jobs elsewhere. Sorry about the rant.
