> the lack of market incentives means that we don't train enough medics.

I don't think so; the number of medics we train in the UK is mainly controlled by the medical colleges.

That makes my point doesn't it?

OK, I supose it does, in the sense that market incentives is one way we might get more doctors trained. But on the other hand the market incentives are plainly there; plenty more people want to train as doctors, than there are training places. That is, the market incentives don't seem to be working to increase training places.
