“…Despite this, access to health services in rural areas is more limited. For example, rates of moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury in rural New Zealand may be higher than urban rates, 1 local access to computed tomography (CT) imaging is likely to be lower, 2 or even absent, 3 and trauma centres in New Zealand are without exception urban.…”
