In the UK there is a silent but serious case of people dying from cancers because GP's are refusing to refer anyone to the hospital for checks. The whole situation is deteriorating. It's not just cancers either, it's other types of conditions and even diseases these borderline incompetent GP's are either missing or simple refusing to listen to the patients. You can google any type of combinations of phrases, eg replace cancer with X condition and you'll get countless examples of that too.

For example: https://www.google.com/search?q=people+dying+from+cancer+gp+...

People are literally dying because some GP's just don't give a shit.
