Sorry, takes control of all what? genuine question, not meaning to be snarky, just putting my lived experience here, and boy it cheeses me off.
I’m not sure what you think the role of the GP is/should be when, after initial consultation with a specialist, the specialist says to try a medication/procedure/life style change and come back for further review in 3/6/12 months and then when you go back after the requested time, changes your medication, orders some blood tests and says, try that and come back again in 3/6/12 months. It’s nothing to do with the GP. To be frank, my GP obviously does not read the letters the specialist sends him after every change of medication or a procedure. Or if he does, he forgets what’s in it between reading it and seeing Me.
