Is there any benefit, from a safety reporting point of view, of recording and tracking "hours booked" sick leave?
Or is this an HR function?

I record sick leave when it's through a work related accident/incident and record lost time attributed towards the incident

It seems to me that you are straying into an area which is in my opinion best avoided. If the absence is as a direct result of a health and safety issue or accident (in the wider sense) let HR deal with sicknes in the normal way and don't get involved. If the sickness absence (what an erronous term, I don't like the term sicknes absence or sick leave, it sounds like an entitlement to go sick not an unfortunate one).

Let HR report on sickness and consentrate on accidents which cause sickness absence, that way you keep your independence, let theHR manager worry about the sick lame and lazy bit of this.

It sounds to me as if someone is trying to interpret the 'Health' part of Health and Safety in a much wider sense than H&S Professionals would in order to get you to do something which is really an HR job.
I would throw it back as a personnel issue
Good luck
