GPs are calling for the Queensland deputy premier to apologise for suggesting they are increasing pressures on EDs by refusing to treat respiratory patients.

Steven Miles claimed on Wednesday that record numbers of ED presentations would only get worse in the coming weeks as COVID-19 and flu cases rose.
