HC Deb 08 June 1978 vol 951 c247W
Mr. Arthur Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what variation in frequency of medical examination of senior defence personnel is made according to the factor of rank.

Mr. Wellbeloved

For Army officers the normal pattern is as followsMajor General and above, annually; Lt. Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier, every two years; other officers, every four years.

In the case of the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force the frequency of medical examinations depends on factors other than rank.
