GP and other healthcare consults bounced back quickly from a drop at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with patients giving the profession a healthy approval rating, says a new index. 

The survey of almost 8170 Australians last November shows that more than one in three (37%) reported having more appointments than usual in the preceeding six months.
