Need for and provision of general practice in London.

[摘要] This study examines the spatial distribution of general practice in London, taking into account both practice and population characteristics. While need for general practice is higher in inner London, some areas of outer London experience high levels of need. Inner London tends to have a greater quantity but lower quality of general practice. However, as in the case of the needs indices, this situation cannot be described as a simple inner city/outer city dichotomy. It is concluded that not all inner London areas suffer from high need and poor general practice and not all outer London areas have low need and good general practice.
