Doctors' surgeries in Suffolk are facing an "immense" rise in the number of patients booking appointments as more Covid restrictions are eased.  
According to NHS Digital data, a total of 3,260,374 appointments were booked in primary care - the first point of contact in the healthcare system - in the East of England in March this year.
This was a rise from 2,716,954 in the region in February, and March's total was the second-highest number of appointments booked since the start of the Covid crisis last spring.
