"Madam President, I have spoken before in this Parliament on the case of my constituent, 70-year-old David Gray, who was killed when a locum German doctor unlawfully administered 10 times the recommended dose of a pain-killing drug. On behalf of his sons, Stuart and Rory Gray, I do so again today, to say that their father would still be alive if the mandatory blacklist system the European Parliament calls for today had been in place back in 2008. I am also incensed that Germany failed to extradite the doctor involved, despite the fact that an e-mail dated 16 March 2009 to the Cambridge Constabulary clearly shows that the European arrest warrant was received before the doctor, Daniel Ubani, was finally judged to be incompetent in Germany. His case should, under the existing law, have been heard in British courts.
Today, MEPs have called for a change to the law to clarify beyond doubt that language checks for foreign doctors are perfectly permissible, as well as requiring an alert system to ensure that doctors under disciplinary questioning in one EU country cannot escape penalty in every country. But I say, with the greatest respect to my German colleagues, that changing the law only works if every EU country respects the law that is passed."@en1
