If we want to live in a democratic capitalist society then we have to subscribe to the idea of supply and demand in both the goods and labour market.

40% of our GPS weren't born in the U.K., (nearly 30% of all doctors), and we don't have the young doctors coming through the system who want to become GPs.  As the age demographic of GPs rises the need for new GPs will only increase.

This won't be improved by restricting when they can go on holidays, capping their wages and forcing them to work unsocial hours.  If we want to attract young doctors into becoming GPs then pay and conditions for them patently have to improve.  Their pay and conditions may seem excellent to most of us but that's irrelevant, if we can't attract enough people into the job then they're simply not good enough.
