This report is based on a Commission communication on the proposal for a joint report on ‘Health care and care for the elderly’, supporting national strategies for ensuring a high level of social protection.
I welcome the report’s support for cooperation in health care and long-term care systems, with Member States continuing to be responsible for organising and funding health care systems. This will facilitate the exchange of ideas, experience and best practice.
I also agree with the rapporteur when she states that care at home by a member of the family or another person brings advantages and that people who provide such services should be supported. Important steps in this field were also taken in the Bastos report on reconciling working life, family life and privacy, on which we have voted during this part-session.
There must be a balanced geographical spread of suitable facilities for health care and long-term health care between urban and rural areas, and Structural Funds must be used to create infrastructure to provide health care and long-term care. These are essential steps that must be taken if we are to achieve our aims. I voted in favour."@en1
