H. Medical Examinations
79. Every person selected for appointment shall be required to present himself for examination to an approved medical practitioner with a view to its being ascertained whether he is physically fit for service.

81. If an officer is required to be examined by one of the Consulting Physicians, the Governor shall transmit full information regarding the officer's health record during his last tour of service and a medical report of his state of health before proceeding on leave. The officer shall be furnished in writing with medical advice as to any precautions which he should take during the voyage and his subsequent leave.
82. Any officer who falls ill so as to require medical attendance while proceeding on leave of absence to the United Kingdom, or during such leave, and remains ill for a week, must report the fact to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and he shall, if required, send periodical reports from his medical attendant as long as he remains under medical care.
