Implement a Medical Centre REST API endpoint in ISAMS that allows retrieval and setting of "Medical Flag" and "Medical Flag Notes" to better manage and automate health information for pupils.

I have thoroughly reviewed all the REST API endpoints related to the Medical Centre API and found that there is no "Medical Flag" or "Medical Flag Notes" information returned. I have checked all the medical endpoints, but this crucial information appears to be missing.

In ISAMS, the "Medical Flag" and "Medical Flag Notes" can be found in the Pupil Manager. To access this, one must search for a student, click on "Health Record" under the "Additional Information" menu options, and then navigate to the "General" tab where these fields are listed at the top under the "Pupil Health Details" section.

I have also examined the Batch API, and while this information exists under PupilManager -> Health_Pupil, it is not possible to write any values back using this method. It is surprising that such core information is absent from the Medical Centre REST API, unless the documentation is outdated. This information is essential for flagging medical details against each pupil when staff search for pupils.

While we could create extra custom fields in Pupil Manager to try and override this, the original "Medical Flag Notes" field would still be visible on the "Health Record," and the flag would not appear on the Pupil Search screen using this method.

To effectively manage and automate health information within ISAMS, it is imperative that the Medical Centre REST API endpoint allows us to retrieve and set the "Medical Flag" or "Medical Flag Notes." The absence of this functionality is hindering our projects.

Please consider implementing this feature at your earliest convenience.
