(a) a refusal by the Respondent to submit to medical examination;
(b) the Respondent 's current physical or mental condition;
(c) any continuing or episodic condition suffered by the Respondent; and
(d) a condition/illness suffered by the Respondent which, although currently in remission, may be expected to cause a recurrence of the impairment of the Respondent 's fitness to practise.
