It works in everyone's interest. So far it does. It was in trouble in the 70s, I think. >You seem to be looking for non-existent flaws. What are you going to do when your GPs find better work in other countries and move? Isn't your country already importing people to do the work? /BAH

You are still assuming that there exists a GP who takes new patients. I ask my question again but I'll try to rephrase so that you get it. If no GPs are taking new patients, what do you do if you are legitimately unhappy with the doctor you are assigned to. /BAH

When I lived in the centre of London I had >a local GP and a local health centre. Yes it does to mean small. A local health center has a small capacity. Even if you assume that all medical appointments will take 5 minutes, the capacity of any center is severely limited. Say it is in a population of 10,000 and all come down with a flu in the same 24 hours. The center won't be able to handle 100, let along 10,000. /BAH
