      The NHS can’t afford to employ them.

      Their is a known and accepted shortage of NHS GPs. But a greater limiteion in paid to surgeries from NHS funding to hire etc.

      This is why most GP surgeries. (Due to the history of forming the NHS most surgeries are private companies that do the hiring then are paid by the NHS). Are moving as much as possible to cheaper Nurse practitioners or other NHS staff.
