This study talked about accessing a specialist (cardiologist, obstetrician etc) not a general practitioner for a basic health check up. This borders on disingenuous.

I don't know what op meat by "basic check up". When i injured my knee i was referred to an ortho by my GP who then did a "basic checkup of my knee" to diagnose an mcl tear.

Also op said "basic check up" which you disingenuously changed to "basic health check up" which sounds like a generic health check.
