Dr. Colm Henry:

I am just giving the facts rather than an opinion. I want to be careful in what I say. It has no grounds for refusing somebody based just on the country of origin of his or her training as long as that country is in the EU. That said, if there are any issues pertaining to safety, not just arising from this case but from any other cases that come to the attention of the Medical Council, clearly we have to review what is best for our healthcare system based on putting patients' interests first.
