Patients may have the "right " to choose a GP but if that GP is oversubscribed the GP will have the "right" also to not have that patient on their books.

Competition within the NHS itself is probably a good thing but not bringing in the private sector.
I can see ATOS bidding for contracts for a start.
I agree with you on the appointments but thats no reason to rebuild it, all that needs is an order from the health department to GP surgeries telling them its compulsory to allow advance appointments, job done. Of course government wont do that because precious waiting list times will go up. This same issue will likely exist after a rebuild for the same reason.
