	uin	217653
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2014 answer text <p>We do not keep data on redeployment opportunities for firefighters. If a person has a permanent medical condition preventing them undertaking their role, they would be eligible for ill health retirement.<br><br>The role of firefighters has changed dramatically over recent years. Firefighters engage in more specialist roles and work more closely with the community to prevent fires and reduce other risks. More diverse roles demand new approaches to workforce management and these provide the opportunities for a more diverse workforce, including older workers, bringing a wider range of skills and experience to bear in serving their communities, and a more sophisticated approach to measuring operational fitness.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 11/12/2014 16:56:14 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
