Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the average processing time is for the renewal of driving licences where there is a medical consideration.

As of 7 June 2021, the average number of working days taken to make a decision on whether to issue a driving licence where there is a medical consideration is shown below.

The time taken to issue a licence to drivers with a medical condition will vary where the DVLA is often reliant on receiving information from medical professionals to ensure drivers can meet the required medical standards.
