HC Deb 18 January 1993 vol 217 c48W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how Pulheems tests are carried out; and how such information is passed on to service personnel general practitioners.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

Pulheems tests are used to assess and categorise medical fitness. They are carried out on a regular basis by qualified medical personnel in accordance with standard tri-service regulations. All service general practitioners have access to these regulations. Pulheems ratings for individual personnel are recorded on personal records.
