	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2019 answer text <p>The medical entry standards for the Armed Forces are uniquely stringent to ensure operational efficiency and the safety of personnel in the operational environment. Accordingly, a history of a number of medical conditions are a bar to Service.</p><p>Sleepwalking poses a risk of injury to personnel within the operational environment (such as a hostile land environment or the confines of a ship at sea), as the individual has no awareness of their situation or actions. Consequently, unless an applicant can prove their diagnosis was incorrect, Armed Forces candidates with a history of sleepwalking experienced after the age of 13 are graded Permanently Unfit for Service.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 08/07/2019 16:40:02 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
