answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2016 answer text <p>Army medicals result in the allocation of a graded &quot;medical deployability standard&quot; reflecting those active roles for which personnel are declared fit. It is not a simple pass or fail. Unlike their regular counterparts, Army Reserve personnel do not undertake annual medical assessments. The only mandatory medicals are during the recruitment process and during mobilisation. The medical care of Reserve personnel lies with their General Practitioners and the National Health Service unless they are mobilised at which point the medical care responsibility transfers to the Defence Medical Services.</p> answering member constituency Canterbury answering member printed Mr Julian Brazier question first answered 14/01/2016 16:15:34 answering member 77 label Biography information for Sir Julian Brazier
