Be saturated again in no time. With easy access to specialists even in the public system, why would the average patient allow a GP to perform procedures on them that they seldom do, rather than the specialist who’ve done it countless times? Tough times nowadays, better to not be a doctor at all

Because the consult fee for the FP is only $5-$30.
And some super FPs are doing it for free practically. Willing to live life of poverty. Even the landlord is complicit in that. Amazing altruism in Singapore.
It is all about trust. Perhaps the age of super (cheap) FPs are here. Very well trained can do the job of specialist all for $30.
It will kill the specialist market. Specialists beware.
But overall good for Singapore. The health costs will become some of the lowest in the world.
