Seems like they have as many or more here in the states, at least where I am. I see some stats that it's about 20 patients a day. I almost always end up at urgent care because they don't have enough availability at the primary in my area. The urgent care isn't covered by my insurance because they say there's enough covered providers in the area already. When I have a fever of 103F for 5 days and think it's time to investigate antibiotics, I want an appointment within 24 hours, not 5 business days from now. It seems the insurance payout and keeping the schedule booked solid drive the (under)staffing in my areas. Although it hasn't been like this in other areas I've been in, but that's more than 10 years ago now.
