	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/11/2022 answer text <p>While age on its own is not a reliable indicator of health, it is widely accepted that the likelihood of developing conditions which may affect fitness to drive increases with age. The licence renewal process provides for the driver to make a declaration regarding their health and to submit a medical report that is completed by a doctor following an examination. This process is designed to be balanced and proportionate and reflect the greater road safety risks posed by the driving of larger vehicles.</p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 11/11/2022 15:24:09 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2023 answer text <p>The current average time to make a licensing decision in cases where the driving licence applicant has declared a medical condition is 81.18 working days. This figure includes new applications, notifications and renewals for both Group 1 (cars and motorcycles) and Group 2 (HGV and bus) drivers. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)’s business plan target is to make a licensing decision within 90 working days in 90 per cent of cases for applications received from October 2022.</p><p> </p><p>On 31 January the DVLA was dealing with 139,238 driving licence applications where a medical condition must be investigated before a licence can be issued. In 78,124 of these cases, the DVLA is awaiting information from third parties (including NHS health care professionals or the customer themselves) before any further action can be taken.</p><p> </p><p>The length of time taken to deal with an application depends on the medical condition(s) involved and whether further information is required before a decision on whether to issue a licence can be made. It is important to note that the majority of applicants renewing an existing licence will be able to continue driving while their application is being processed, providing they have not been told not to drive by a doctor or optician.</p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 07/02/2023 12:50:04 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden
