Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will commission an independent review and audit of the medical discharge process within the armed forces.
Armed Forces medical employment policy, which governs the process of medical discharge, is kept under continual review by our clinical experts, who take account of UK best practice in occupational medical policy, latest research and clinical information. This ensures that appropriate medical standards and medical boarding practice are maintained and are responsive to wider advances in medical practice and technology.
