If an applicant is found to be medically unsuitable for service, they may appeal. As part of providing evidence for their appeal, they may wish to seek further medical advice. This would be at the personal cost of the applicant.<\/p>

Following the meeting on 16 January between the Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron), and President Obama, Mr Aamer\u2019s case has been prioritised for review through an interagency process which involves six government departments. The review is currently underway.<\/p>
<\/p>
It is necessary for the British Government to keep the details of diplomatic discussions with the US Administration confidential. Any breach of the US Administration\u2019s expectation of confidentiality would be likely to hinder UK efforts to secure Mr Aamer\u2019s release and return.<\/p>
<\/p>
However, Mr Aamer\u2019s case remains a high priority for the Government and we continue to make clear to the US that we want him released and returned to the UK as a matter of urgency. We are confident that the US government understands the seriousness of the UK\u2019s request for Mr Aamer\u2019s release.<\/p>"}
