Scottish GP Vacancy Rate One Third Of Rest OF UK

‘GP vacancies (in England) rise to record levels despite recruitment pledge, survey suggests. Long patient waits and unsafe, rushed appointments are unlikely to end any time soon as vacancies have risen from 9.1 per cent to 15.3 per cent since the (UK) government pledged 5 000 more doctors.’  In sharp contrast, the GP vacancy rate in Scotland was only 5.6% at the end of 2017.
