HC Deb 29 February 1988 vol 128 c420W
Mr. Livingstone

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what safeguards there are to prevent false information being given in non-adverse medical reports.

Mr. Freeman

The terms "adverse" or "non-adverse" are inappropriate to medical reports. The medical report is exclusively a clinical summary of the patient's condition which recommends an appropriate fitness/health grading. It does not comment upon the character or ability of the individual to perform his duties.
