Yes, inefficient. Last time I tried to get an appointment with an NHS doctor, they gave me one the following week during working hours. Instead, I paid £85 for a private doctor and was in and out of there with antibiotics in 5 minutes.
I don’t think you understand what efficiency is and if I understand you correctly you solved the problem by throwing money at it (equivalent wage of £1020/hr) and hiring another doctor.
