Default how does one provide reference check for a former staff?

A former colleague of mine gave my name for reference check. Now her new employer wants to tell me about her health, leave record, ability to perform OT at a short notice, her attitude, etc.
I can only say that she is person with strong work ethic, I have knowen her for 2 years, etc. Can anyone really comment about the work ethic, ability to perform OT at a short notice, etc? If they are so concerned about her health, maybe they should get a medical checkup done. What is your experience about reference checks?
