That sounds like a very significant increase in the number of medical assessments. Currently, there is a gate in and there is no categorisation into what would be tier 3, so I imagine the increased number of assessments would involve considerable recruitment. Is that fair to say? Surely, the capacity to do this does not exist currently.
