Deferred entry - how easy?

I'm applying for Bristol and Imperial. Do I have to write in my personal statement why I want to defer? Seems like a waste of words and I'm not keen seeing as I've just finished perfecting my statement.

Why can’t you contact to the uni for a defer after you get an offer?

No you don't have to explain this.
Unis really won't be interested.

Because some Med Schools wont allow you to do this.
They want to know up-front so they can get the numbers right for each entry year.
