"Foreign doctors to face language tests before they can work in hospitals"
Apparently that's not so in the European Union...
In the U.K. Daily Mail, Stuart Woledge reported:
"Although the General Medical Council can test the English of doctors from non EU countries, it has been banned from testing the skills of those arriving from member states since 1983. More than 25,000 doctors from the EU are registered to practice in the UK, none of whom have ever been tested for their English skills."
