Do the doctor's get some sort of incentive (monetary, or otherwise) to get more patients? Because if they don't, then you can "change your GP" till your blue in the face, but they won't compete with one another at all to offer you better service/treatment.
It's not about lack of choice. The choice represents the doctors' competition with one-another. Obviously, as I've pointed out, the choice also has to have meaningful repercussions for the doctor involved, otherwise it's not really the kind of choice that can make a difference.
- DanBC 12y agoYes, they get financial incentive to improve patient care. They get paid for patients on their list; they attract funding for the surgery performed; etc.
- lotsofcows 12y agoYes, because every single GP is only in it for the money. Many people/doctors may be bastards; many people/doctors may be knackered; many people/doctors may only be in it for the money. But they're still the minority. I can think of 1 dentist experience and no doctor experiences where I've felt that the person had no interest in their job.
