answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2014 answer text <p>It is our policy that all Armed Forces personnel should be recruited to be fully fit for deployment worldwide on operations. For this reason, the Services do not recruit personnel with existing medical conditions which may adversely impact on the effectiveness of the Armed Forces, or which may themselves be exacerbated by military circumstances. <br><br>Whilst those diagnosed with autism are excluded from joining the Services on medical grounds, those individuals suffering mild or entirely non-disabling Asperger’s Syndrome may meet the entry standards following an assessment by an occupational health physician and gaining a favourable assessment after pre-entry tests of suitability for military service. <br><br>Recruitment may be permitted for those with ADHD where there is no history of violence or delinquent behaviour, there has been a period of more than three years freedom from symptoms and the candidate has been off all treatment for three years prior to application and is functioning normally.<br><br>The medical entry criteria undergo a rolling programme of revision and that for autism and ADHD have recently been reviewed. Unless new evidence is brought to our attention there is no requirement for a further review at this time.</p> answering member constituency Canterbury answering member printed Mr Julian Brazier question first answered 20/10/2014 15:47:08 answering member 77 label Biography information for Sir Julian Brazier

This year’s campaign will focus on how many winter illnesses do not need to be treated with antibiotics, and informing people of the advice available from pharmacists. Both Liverpool Clinical Commissioning Group and Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust supported last year’s Self Care Week.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>There is a range of work underway in NHS England to support self care, including working with Age UK on advice on self care for older people with mild frailty.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p>All Public Health England campaigns do give advice to the public on actions they can take to improve their health for example quitting smoking, identifying the early signs and symptoms of cancer or eating more healthily and getting more active. All of these campaigns can be used locally to support local priorities. We are giving local authorities ring-fenced funding of £8.2 billion over three years, 2013-14 to 2015-16, to help tackle public health issues.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 17/10/2014 13:26:45 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
