Poor access to care: rural health deprivation?

[摘要] The White Paper Our health, our care, our say: a new direction for community services should offer something for rural health care.1 ‘Rural’ merited five mentions; lay responses about poor health provision to the citizens' summit are mentioned twice. Two innovative approaches developed in rural areas deserved reference but the Paper only once referred to the need to develop rural services. It failed to focus on how to address rural health issues. Whether this is our fairy godmother speaking remains a big question for rural GPs.
