As your spouse is not migrating member,they still need medical and PCC for her considering He/She may applied for spouse visa after you granted visa.It happen to my case as well.Its good in other term, you can use same PCC and medical for spouse visa application.Wish you quick grant.

Not in my case too...They will contact if they find some issue in docs u submitted regarding sponsor otherwise not.
