No idea. BUT...... the more GPs that go private then logically the fewer there will be working in the NHS = longer waiting times to see a NHS GP.  If longer times to see a NHS GP (and/or get that NHS hospital appointment/operation) the greater the argument becomes that the NHS is, by default, denying health care to its patients. Not the NHS fault btw.
