Hi all 

I thought I'd share with you some useful information. Today I went to a recruitment agency, and on the form it said "How many sick days you have had" 

This question shouldn't be asked directly anymore, and this changed under Equality Act 2010, because those with disabilities will have higher sickness rates; and thus should be left off any form and the only authorised people to know this information is Occupational Health/Medical due to how they can advise with reasonable adjustments to ensure you stay within the workplace.
