Epileptic as a EMT?

[Kiwiology]

Here in New Zed we used to have a Class E license (Ambulance) however this was withdrawn and although no replacement has been introduced to cover Ambulance specifically the equivalent is the P endorsement (passenger) which falls under the commercial driver license medical standards so I am using those in my opinion forming, which state

2.4 Epilepsy

The Agency may consider granting a [commercial] licence for these classes or endorsements where an individual has been seizure free for five years without taking any anti‑seizure medication and a neurologist’s opinion supports the application.

I believe it appropriate for somebody who meets these criteria to be capable of driving therefore employable as an Ambulance Officer; although the P endorsement is not specifically required.
