Is it normal that my GP won't do anything but testing across the hall?

No matter what I see my doctor for all he does is refer me to a specialist or send me across the hall for blood tests. Is this what GP’s do now? Years ago if I went to the doctor he would write a prescription or give me samples. Have a mole? He’d remove it. Now I’m just sent across the hall to give blood after a barrage of questions. What’s happening? Seems like he has a pretty easy go of it now.
