LabelRural GP acceptable journey time? Q156
Question text I'd now like you to think about someone living in a remote and very rural part of Scotland. Sometimes people in these areas have to travel long distances to health services. What do you think would be an acceptable amount of time to expect someone in a remote area to have to travel to get to their GP surgery?
