Cashy, most GPs are PRIVATE businesses contracted to the NHS (many now owned by American companies you’ve never heard of).
In terms of service to the public they are therefore the worst of both worlds - a private monopoly.
It seems it doesn’t matter how bad their service is - the government (I.e.the taxpayer) will still pay them.
