Language control for doctors - proposed changes to the Medical Act 1983: a paper for consultation
Department of Health 
This consultation seeks views on proposals to change the Medical Act 1983 to give the General Medical Council more power to take action where concerns arise about a doctor’s English language capability. The proposals are designed to complement and strengthen the existing language controls imposed through the responsible officer regulations, performers list regulations and other checks undertaken at a local level. The consultation closes on 2nd December 2013.
