When the Minister is undertaking the review can he also examine congenital conditions? In considering the primary medical certificate we should look at those born with a specific condition. For example, if a person is born as an albino and is visually impaired, we could include that condition. It is the same as dwarfism. Currently, the primary medical certificate is limited to five different categories: loss of a limb or half a limb, loss of a leg or half a leg, or dwarfism. An extra category of people with congenital conditions should be added in order to include them.
