The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Denham on 2014-06-24.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how long drivers who have produced the necessary medical evidence have waitied before their licence is restored following suspension for medical reasons.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency does not temporarily suspend driving licences. Drivers may have their licence revoked or choose to surrender their licence voluntarily if their medical condition affects their fitness to drive.

On average, drivers who have produced the necessary medical evidence following revocation wait eight weeks before their licence is restored.
