(1) Every applicant for enrolment as a member shall before enrolment-

   (a)  subject to subsection (2), submit to such medical examination, to be
        carried out by a medical and health officer of the Department of
        Health or by a medical practitioner approved by the Commissioner, as
        the Commissioner may reasonably require for the purpose of
        ascertaining whether the applicant is medically fit for service as a
        member;

   (b)  sign such forms as the Commissioner may require;

   (c)  furnish such personal particulars as the Commissioner may reasonably
        require; and

        his parent or guardian a written consent in such form as the
        Commissioner may require.

(2) An applicant who declines to undergo a medical examination when requested
to do so shall be required to sign a statement in Form I in Schedule 2.

(3) A member enrolled in the Service may be required at any time by the
Commissioner to undergo a medical examination and, if he fails to pass such
examination, his enrolment may be cancelled; but if he wishes to remain a
member of the Service, he shall be required to sign a statement in Form II in
Schedule 2, before his application to remain a member can be considered.

(4) The Commissioner may exempt from the requirements of subsection

(1)(a) any applicant for enrolment who has previously been a member of the
Service.
