An out-of-hours doctor from Germany who killed a patient with an overdose of a painkiller has been struck off by the GMC.
Dr Daniel Ubani, 67, injected David Gray, of Manea, Cambridgeshire, with 10 times the recommended dosage in 2008.
A GMC panel has ruled that Dr Ubani should be banned from practising in the UK.
Health Secretary Andrew Lansley said he was working to ensure foreign staff have the right language skills.
Dr Ubani was given a suspended sentence in Germany for death by negligence but is still able to practise there. The GMC’s powers do not extend to other countries.
