Foreign nurses and midwives who have not been near a patient in 20 years are being registered to work in the UK - even though a British nurse or midwife with such a long time away from patients would not be allowed to work here under the same circumstances.
This two tier system is a result of EU rules on the free movement of workers, and is leading to patients lives being directly put at risk.
"We now have a situation whereby we are admitting people who literally have not been near a patient for 20 years, have done no CPD and have to be admitted to the register because they have freedom of movement and rights. Yet if they were a UK-registered nurse or midwife, they would not be allowed to continue. Indeed, they would have to do a return-to-practice course at a school of nursing or midwifery" Dickon Weir-Hughes, chief executive of the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) told a Lords sub-committee.
Cases also highlighted include a EU doctor who refused to speak to a member of the GMC over the phone because her English was too poor to have a spoken conversation, instead putting her husband on the phone and getting him to translate.
Good luck getting proper medical care if she happens to be your doctor and you need to explain your symptoms then.
The whole situation is an insane shambles which puts British patients lives at risk - and it arises as a direct result of the EU's lunatic insistence that the free movement of labour between EU states is of greater importance than any practical considerations such as language barriers or patient safety.

We've all seen the headlines, foreign workers occupying most of Britain's new jobs.
And, who can have missed the almost religious zeal with which those in charge have tried to create a multicultural society, importing people by the million, watching as birth rates and population spirals out of control.
"White flight" too, as the indigenous seek to leave heavily colonised areas, or in many cases the country - which in turns hastens our walk towards overall minority in our own land.
Is employment and the free movement of labour actually being used as a part of this, to create diverse and disparate societies, and with a bigger purpose in mind?
Think on it for a moment. We see Britons unable to get jobs, and foreigners coming here to take British jobs.
In some instances, most recently Poland, this leads to a decline in that countries population, and a possible shortage of people to work.
Britons, desperate to leave Britain, where we're seeing wages held at low levels whereas the cost of living is spiralling out of control, go and seek work - or retirement, or escape - elsewhere.
Those foreigners here for jobs, well, some will leave - but most do not. They establish themselves, marry - perhaps to a Briton, buy homes, have families etc. They put down roots.
The racial demographic of a society is utterly transformed, both short and long term, by those who came to a nation seeking work.
Our own people leave our nations, foreign people come to our nations.
Britain, and a few other EU nations, may be the magnets of choice for foreign workers currently, but when that changes it will do little, our population makeup will already have been changed forever.
We will, by virtue of the free movement of labour, become more diverse - aka White British will have become more of a minority in Britain - and that will not reverse simply because we cease to be a jobs magnet, for example due to a major recession, removal of benefits, or stricter employment laws.
Tomorrow it will be another countries turn to experience this mass influx, perhaps one of those nations who today is busily exporting workers to us at an alarming rate.
That's fairly inevitable. As their workforce pool diminishes, workers will be in demand, workers from other nations will seek to take advantage of that.
Diversity is created under the cloak of free movement of labour, it's a tool for the engineering of societies whilst attempting to maintain the illusion that it's of economic benefit to the nation and that it is happening by the free will of peoples.
If one wanted to utterly transform the racial makeup of a nation, and not just a single nation but, for example, every nation in the EU, then why not create freedom of movement and freedom of work rules between those nations?
Economics and demand for labour would eventually take care of the rest, in some instances far faster than others.
Nations would eventually be ruined as their jobs markets become saturated with, or experience a deficit of, workers, and those nations experiencing mass influxes stagger under the burden of an un-manageable population, but the result would be diversity.
And, each 'collapse' in individual nations would trigger a wave of migration from that nation.
One would create artificial migrations of people between nations, and thus create diverse, disparate societies in each of those nations.
Yes, there would be suffering, but for diversity obsessed bureaucrats, would that matter if they could achieve their goal of transforming societies into the multiracial, multicultural ideal?
All societies who were part of this bloc would eventually lose their own identity as a result, and the only commonality people within that society would have is their nations membership of this bloc.
Wouldn't that suit the EU down to the ground? The only tie between peoples would be the EU, and also the cherished goal of diversity would be achieved.
They would, effectively, have succeeded in merging all of our nations into one nation, or states of one nation, removing the national identity and the people who made each individual nation a nation in its own right.
Given a few centuries indigenous races would cease to exist in any significant numbers, there'd be no national or racial identity whatsoever, not a single bond to hold nations together, other than their membership of the bloc.
They'd have their one 'super' nation because the individual nations would have nothing left which made them stand apart, they'd have no choice but to be tied to that central authority, diversity and the lack of any internal national cohesion ensures it.
The stuff of conspiracy theories? Or just some careful planning on their part which we see coming to fruition around us now?
We can at least say that, even if the side effects of free movement are unintended, they are certainly beneficial for those running the EU show.
Is it really possible that something so convenient for a few, so in accordance with their aims of creating a superstate peopled by the diverse, and so monumental, can have happened by accident?

As if we didn't already know that the jobs situation in the UK is abysmal, now we have news that there are 181,000 more people in work this summer than at the same time last year - and only 14,000 of those were born in the UK.
14,000 out of 181,000 - that adds up to a jobs bonanza for the foreign worker and Brits left languishing in the dole queue.
Since we've well over 2million unemployed then the logic of allowing a swarm of foreign workers to swamp the jobs market simply beggars belief.
It all adds up to a failure of truly epic proportions however you look at it.
Can Brits not do these jobs, we're supposed to believe that every one of these positions is a highly skilled vacancy that Brits lack the skills to do?
Come on, even if that were true then it just serves to illustrate the utter failure of the training and education system to equip our people to do our jobs. These are British jobs - if we have not equipped British people to do them then the system has failed.
But, the reality is that most will be positions for which there was a willing and able British person available - just the job went to a foreigner.
Some trot out the idea that the British worker is lazy, workshy, unwilling to put in as much effort, as a reason for hiring so many foreigners. Rubbish!.
And, incidentally, good luck in an equalities court if you say that about any other racial or national group. Say it about Africans, go on, I dare you.
Foreign labour keeps wages artificially low, it meets diversity quotas, it adheres to the insane ideal of absolutely free movement of labour - and it does not benefit Britain or the British worker in any way at all.
Instead it disenfranchises the British worker both financially and in terms of job security. The British worker becomes reduced to a commodity - only instead of a commodity in a national workplace, he's now a commodity in an international workplace, competing against nearly everyone on the planet.
We all know simple supply and demand - when supply outstrips demand a products marketplace value is reduced. The jobs market is no different, and supply of a product - in this instance workers - has been artificially boosted far beyond any realistic demand.
The entire system as is fails the British worker and the British people utterly.
There simply are not enough jobs for the people already here - and yet we continue to import more people, creating a labour glut that is damaging to the British people.
Britons want to work and will work - we should be ensuring that they have that opportunity.
No job should go to a foreign worker when there's an unemployed Brit capable of doing it. When a Brit is not capable a Brit should be trained.
Give employers a financial incentive to hire British - it has to be cheaper than paying for millions of Brits in the dole queue.
Put the British people first for once, any need for foreign workers should only arise once all Brits who can work are employed, in short once we have 100% employment, a goal that will take a long time to reach, if ever.
The British worker forms the bedrock of our nation, our future, and our prosperity - and time and time again they are betrayed and undermined by our politicians and greedy profiteers.
It's high time we put our people and our future first - and that means putting the British worker and British jobs at the very top of the list, something which generations of establishment politicians have failed to do.
