Commission asked to investigate racist discrimination against doctors

"A UK politician has asked the Commission for Racial Equality to investigate whether some doctors working for the NHS experience racial discrimination by being denied progression to consultant status.
Dr Evan Harris, the health spokesman for the Liberal Democrat party, last week wrote to the Commission for Racial Equality, the statutory body responsible for enforcing the Race Relations Act, asking it to examine whether doctors from ethnic minorities were being treated unfairly in the limitations on their career progression.
He asked the commission to look specifically at the situation of doctors working in non- consultant career grade posts, over 60% of which are held by doctors from ethnic minorities.
One of the stumbling blocks preventing doctors who have trained outside the United Kingdom from becoming consultants has been the European Specialist Medical Qualifications Order 1995. This has resulted in many doctors being unable to obtain a Certificate of Completion of Specialist Trainin.
Alan Milburn, the health secretary, told the BBC last week that he was considering changes in the law so that medical qualifications gained overseas could count towards completion of UK training for doctors."

Based on this article even doctors make it difficult to each other for been racist and not let some one else accomplish some thing they want to be. This is based on progress and hard work to become some one u want to be but how can u make your dream come true if some 1 is blocking u from it and making it it more difficult for you. We need to be treat equal people just say it but its not true you could see the difference between difference religion, country's and etc. But this article is talking about how unfairly people from different race are treat and not letting them accomplish all the hard work they been threw to become a doctor. Very unfairly to does who work hard. Why is it so difficult to get along? if we all the same. Its crazy how live works out with so much hate on each other.
