The impact of area deprivation on access to and utilization of health services in the last year of life: A retrospective population-based cohort study
This study has revealed inequities in health service use across generalist and specialist palliative care services for people living in areas of deprivation. Of note, findings have highlighted how rurality amplifies inequities in access to appropriate palliative care. Further research is needed to better understand the consequences of these apparent inequities.
