This can include NHS healthcare professionals or the applicant themselves, before a licensing decision can be made. In around 50% of cases, the DVLA is awaiting information from a third party before any further action can be taken.</p><p> </p><p>The DVLA triage applications when they are received and are prioritised on a case-by-case basis, for example if the customer needs a licence quickly for work or travel purposes.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>To help reduce waiting times for customers, the DVLA has introduced a simplified licence renewal process for some medical conditions. This change has significantly reduced the need for further information from medical professionals and enabled more licensing decisions to be made based on the information provided by the driver. The DVLA is considering if more medical conditions can be added to this process in the future.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 17/07/2023 08:37:10 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden
