Abstract: | Unlike many other countries, the health and health care of rural populations are not often seen as specific concerns by the United Kingdom's health service. This paper considers the present ways in which resource allocation within the National Health Service takes account of rural areas and highlights a number of inconsistencies. It goes on to discuss ways in which rurality could influence future resource allocation formulas, and identifies priorities for future research. |
