Whose responsibility is it to inform the driving agency?

You have a legal obligation to inform the driving agency, and failure to do so is a criminal offence. If you don’t inform them, and carry on driving, anyone can report this to the driving agency. Although a doctor has a duty to protect their patient’s confidentiality, over and above this they have a duty of care to protect the public. So your doctor may also inform the driving agency if you carry on driving when you shouldn’t.
