Techniques of analysis now used in geography can be applied to general practice. They show that the locations of general practitioners' premises are not randomly distributed and are not related to the sites of populations or to patients in greatest need of medical services. The findings suggest a concentration of surgeries in middle class areas and lack of surgeries in areas of low social class.
目前在地理学中使用的分析技术可应用于全科医疗。这些技术表明,全科医生诊所的位置并非随机分布,与人口分布地点或最需要医疗服务的患者地点无关。研究结果表明,诊所集中在中产阶级地区,而社会阶层较低的地区则缺乏诊所。
