Recruitment and Retainment od Staff in Rural Areas
Abstract
Central to any attempts to strengthen management in rural areas is the necessity to recruit suitable personnel and to retain them long enough to provide some continuity. There is a striking difference between rural health districts in which there has been some permanence of management and those in which there has been a rapid turnover. This problem has been the subject of considerable study in Australia and in Canada, and in this country has been studied by at least three commissions whose reports have been totally ignored by the central health authorities.
