Andrew Buist though described as the ‘chair of BMA’s Scottish GP Committee’, is really just a well-paid, middle-class, shop steward. That does not make him a ‘GP leader.’
Some of his members are unhappy so he is complaining on their behalf.
Here’s a fine example of entitlement and lack of awareness:
Isn’t a GP practice a fairly affluent and secure business with responsibility for hiring its own staff?
As for staff shortages, see this ‘analysis’ from Lisa Summers:
Go away.
Talking-up Scotland 
SO YET ANOTHER BLOWHARD
MAKING COMMENTS HE SHOULD NOT BE
HIS FACTS ARE INCORRECT (obviously not checked)
YET MAKES POLITICAL MISCHIEF TO GAIN WHAT
HE SHOULD TRY AND GET TO SEE A “DOCTOR”
Not a trainee “locum”
ask this so called leader to run an independent poll asking citizens
When and if they have seen,spoken or visited THEIR doctor
THEN AND ONLY THEN SHOULD HE GET HIS NAME INTO POLITICAL NEWSPAPER
WHOS MAIN PURPOSE IS TO CAUSE TROUBLES/MISCHIEF

One Dr gets paid for practice. Gets locum work. Covers for another surgery. Sometimes doing GDoc shifts (£1000).
