Tbf in my case this was NHS so no money to be made by referrals afaik. It mostly seems to be a lack of up-to date knowledge paired with a reluctance to take the initiative and research the latest information for a specific case. As a substitute they refer you up the chain where the same problem also exists.

I wouldn't assume that - just because the money isn't coming from your pocket directly, it's inevitable there are doctors that milk the system. But you'd think bureaucrats whose job it is to assess the legitimacy of requests to the NHS (or equivalent institution in your own country) for payment might be harder to swindle than your typical patient.
