Prevent local doctor accepting a temporary solution

I believe the answer is:

stopgap

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'temporary solution' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'prevent local doctor accepting a' is the wordplay.
'prevent' becomes 'stop' (stopping is a kind of preventing).
'local doctor' becomes 'gp' (general practitioner. I am not sure about the 'local' bit.).
'accepting' is an insertion indicator.
'gp' placed around 'a' is 'gap'.
'stop'+'gap'='STOPGAP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stopgap that I've seen before include "Makeshift" , "Temporary expedient" , "A temporary substitute or solution" , "Provisional" , "caretaker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
