    Abstract

    We investigated the impact of accessibility to General Practitioner (GP) services on the use of GP services among older people in Ireland. Older people use healthcare services more frequently and intensively than the population as a whole. However, having limited personal mobility or poorer access to transport may present significant obstacles for an older person trying to avail of healthcare services. Internationally, the World Health Organization raises awareness of the need for healthcare to be within physical reach of vulnerable or marginalised groups, with older people and residents of rural areas identified as ‘at risk’ populations.
