From UK DAILY MAIL
Scandal of the failing foreign doctors who demand right to sit GP exams a staggering SIX times
- 63 per cent fail compared with nine per cent of British
- Language revealed as one of the problems
- Patients can't check how many attempts they had

Hundreds of foreign doctors working in the NHS are routinely failing key medical exams, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Success rates are so poor that medical associations want doctors to be allowed six attempts at passing the tests rather than the current four.
The revelation raises fears the trainee medics, mainly from India, Pakistan and Nigeria, are not suitably qualified to treat patients despite spending three years working for the NHS before taking the exam.
