Two things I'd bring up with them.
Tell them that isn't consistent with all GP surgeries (a la mine) and secondly they can front their outgoing calls real switchboard/office numbers with an unlisted SiP number that doesn't appear on Google searches etc. (like some banks anti fraud depts do).
Maybe introduce some sort of 4 digit pin code to get it to connect to the actual surgery - in case the borrowed phone LNR scenario occurs.
I don't understand people who don't use phone/SIM locks with hidden alerts these days though which would bypass that snooping issue.
