  - The aim of this article is to determine the extent of and changes in horizontal inequity in generalpractitioner and medical specialist utilization in Ireland from 1997 to 2001. Horizontal equity refersto people in equal need of treatment receiving similar treatment regardless of income. Afteraccounting for the differences in the need for such care, this study reports relatively low pro-poorhorizontal inequity with respect to general practitioner utilization, increasing slightly between 1997and 2001. This study finds that a generally pro-rich horizontal inequity distribution in 1997 is replacedby a generally pro-poor distribution in 2001 with respect to medical specialist utilization.
