They will definately be allowed mention the number of days that you have been off sick but I'm not sure that they can say why.

Surely it would be a breach of confidentiality if they disclosed why you were off work.

on the other hand, if i was an employer i would hate to discover that I'd just hired a nutter. Surely they have the right to unearth mentals?
