A medical control apparatus is provided in a medical apparatus and includes: an insertion portion that is provided in a medical apparatus and comprises a bending portion on a distal end side a drive portion that generates a driving force for subjecting the bending portion to a bending operation a wire that is connected with slackness to the bending portion a pulling portion that pulls the wire a connecting portion that connects the drive portion and the pulling portion so as to have a positional relationship that transmits/does not transmit a driving force between the drive portion and the pulling portion a driving amount detection portion that detects a driving amount of the drive portion as a drive portion driving amount a pulling portion driving amount detection portion that detects a pulling portion driving amount produced by the pulling portion a comparison portion that compares a change amount of the drive portion driving amount and a change amount of the pulling portion driving amount and an identification portion that, based on a comparison result obtained by the comparison portion, identifies a boundary between a range in which contribution to bending of the bending portion is possible by a restoring force of an elastic member forming the bending portion and a range in which the contribution to bending of the bending portion is not possible due to occurrence of the slackness of the wire.
