On some ACARS aircraft the sent arrival message already includes a "Y/N" for sickness

Owen, I presume the SICK N in the above ACARS transmission is what you are refering to above. I see this on many ACARS transmissions from a variety of aircraft.
Side Note: I have a pretty good relationship with airline staff and tech crews, having had email contact with an Air New Zealand A320 crew about the email feature the airline has implemented (I used the email address in the ACARS message for the initial contact and they were cool about the whole thing, and provided me with some good background), and have also supplied ACARS logs to a Virgin Blue tech crew member responsible for the ACARS implementation on the E Jets.
