FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The 500 responsible officers, who will be in senior posts such as medical
directors of trusts, could be recruited as soon as the summer. About a third
of doctors in England are foreign-born and only those from outside the EU
are routinely subject to language tests. The new rules would cover all
doctors, including GPs.
The danger of doctors speaking sub-standard English came to national attention
when Dr Daniel Ubani, a German-trained GP on his first out-of-hours shift in
Britain, killed David Gray, 70, by giving him 10 times the normal dose of
diamorphine.
In the autumn, Mr Lansley is expected to go further and change the law to
ensure that those barred from working in the NHS because of their language
skills are struck off the approved register of doctors.
At present, the General Medical Council has no choice but to register doctors
with European qualifications. Under the new system, a foreign doctor would
still be free to apply for work at other hospitals after being rejected by
one responsible doctor.
Niall Dickson, the chief executive of the General Medical Council, said: “This
is a vital issue for patients – they must be able to have confidence that
the doctor who treats them has the communication skills needed for the job.
“We warmly welcome the measures unveiled by the Secretary of State. These
changes would significantly strengthen the employer checks in England.”
It had been thought that European Union laws ensuring the freedom of movement
of labour prevented language testing. However, the European Commission
recently ruled that language testing was legal. Compulsory language tests
will raise concerns that the NHS could be left short-staffed.
