British Expats - Issues with health once Medicals submitted

It sort of makes sense.... I think. :unsure:

Have a read of the NZIS guide for the medical examiners. I can't see mention of where they have a duty to update after an NZIS medical has been completed. However, the declaration by the applicant does give consent for authorisation to provide NZIS with information about the applicants health. This could be translated ,by a diligent medical examiner, that they should inform NZIS of any change to the applicants health , particularly if it was timely to the application.
i.e. the meds had only been done a week or so previous.... purely my supposition of course.

When I read the guide notes for the applicants medical , it clearly states that the applicant themselves have a duty to keep NZIS informed of any changes to health during the application.

PR is a visa/permit like any other and can be revoked if NZIS feel they have been mis-informed.
