title: Rural health. Country strife.
abstract: Funding mechanisms in the NHS need to take more account of rurality in allocating funds. Rurality is considered in allocating funds to other public services such as the police, education and district council services. Country areas have more, and smaller, hospitals than cities, and this involves extra costs.
