No, that is not allowed, it has to be on official form and not copied.

That seems like a waste of everyone's time and your money.

My wife recently had to have her PCV medical and her council badge medical was to be 6 weeks later. The council were happy to accept a photocopy of the PCV medical because it was more stringent that the council one.

It's just the same with CRB checks, one for each area, stupid or what. When all councils insist on the group 2 medical their will be even less chance to copy the form
