GPs report rise in patient demand
Brisbane-based Dr Maria Boulton says her practice is busier than ever, despite three new GPs on staff.

Brisbane GP Dr Maria Boulton says practices around Australia could be going through a similar increase, with mental health presentations a major cause of the upswing.
