Re: As with all things this could be great if done properly

"The main problem affecting my access to GPs is that GPs want to work office hours,"

... modern GPs want a career and not a vocation. My father was a GP of the original NHS type which meant in his 2 partner country practice he was on call every other night and every other weekend covering an area up to 10-15 miles away. They had an ex-US army Jeep and then a Landrover to deal with getting to remote farms in winter weather (though even that wasn't also enough and at least once he ended up walking through snow drifts up a farm lane). And at that time surgeries were evenings from 4 or 5pm until the waiting room was empty.
