Why is there no money to train, employ, & pay actual doctors?
But there is unlimited money to replace doctors with non-doctors (ANPs, ACPs, PAs)
Non-doctors do not have the knowledge, qualifications, training or experience to replace doctors
It's unregulated & it's unsafe

Trump is seeking damages of no less than $5bn under a defamation lawsuit.
He has also filed a lawsuit for $5bn for alleged violation of a trade practices law.
The response should be two words to do with sex and travel.

A good piece which adds to my sense that the political cost of dramatically reducing immigration and even reaching net emigration, is likely to be far greater for the government in terms of the impact on the economy, taxation and public services than the alternative
New post just out:
"The Overshoot"
Net migration is collapsing, and will fall further over the coming years. We could even have net emigration.
What does that mean for the country and the political narrative as we head towards the next election?
