This is inevitable,Doctors now have to be a lot more than just GPs,they have to be almost accountants too.
Looking at costs of care not just looking as to what is the best care for their patients.

One of my Cousins is a GP but is leaving his post at a surgery here in the UK, he is heading off to another Country.
I don't blame him, he says GPs are never really consulted by this govt,and haven't been for the last 5 years too.

They make paper decisions that seem really good and may well be popular but which are impractical in reality for the vast majority of GP practices.

Little wonder then that patients will suffer in the end due to overworked and weary GPs and to be quite frank, it is not any better to leading Doctors in Hospitals either as to consulting them and making plans there too.
I do fear,more and more GPs will just pack up working under this govt or head off to other Countries where they really are more valued and cared about.

You cannot expect to achieve the best of care for those who need it, if you treat those who have to provide the care with near contempt and ignorance.
