Re Vit D
The NHS/NICE recommendation is that we get supplements, but then the NHS was forced to drop several items from routine prescriptions and vitamins is one group they are no longer expected to prescribe.
I get both Vit D3 and Folic acid on my free prescriptions so I checked the new rules - and people with llinked chronic conditions are exempt, but my GP surgery was stopping everyone's. I spoke to them and provided evidence that my Vit deficiencies are caused by or at least linked with other medications they prescribe so I was still entitled to get them on prescription.
Also NICE have accepted that low carb works, to the extent that people can get prescription vouchers in many areas to cover the cost of the lowcarbprogram.

Your GP sounds useless.
