This is absolutely fine and is the new standard. You are not meant to screen before an offer so if there are relevant health issues they must only be explored in candidates who have an offer of work (under the Equality Act 2010)

Dear Wise and Wisdom,
I have been given a question which is-
Can you offer a job subject to a being cleared as medical fit. In other words is that legal?
My view was yes as if a person has some health issue that could be exacerbated or aggravated by the role the would not be fit....
Over to you all for your view. But some evidence to support your answer would be ideal pretty please on a Friday afternoon.
Tas all
Dawn
