The Government has offered limited support to NPs because Physicians lobby against their introduction to the health care system, arguing they're not capable of providing adequate quality basic care and would therefore place patients at risk. NPs earn 100k/head, I believe; the important point here being that they earn a lot less than a GP to do the same job.
