The average fully-qualified GP has something like 2,300 patients registered to them. If you assume 2.5 people per household for those new homes, their needs would be met by the addition of a single GP to an existing surgery. Then consider that the typical buyers of new builds will be younger and healthier than average. And that of those ~2,500 new residents, some are likely to be doctors themselves who would otherwise be unable to live in the area. And that GP surgeries are private for-profit businesses. And you realise the issues are more complex than they might at first seem.
