". Patient mobility is a complex issue in view of the differences between national healthcare systems and medical care traditions. Patients must nonetheless have the right to seek timely treatment in another Member State if this is not available in their own country or not within a reasonable period of time. A coherent policy on patient mobility that sets out guidelines for use by patients, health professionals and funding agencies must be developed as a matter of urgency. I therefore voted in favour of the report, so that we can all enjoy the benefits of this positive step for the Community. I should also like to emphasise that healthcare services are for people in need and cannot therefore be compared to goods for sale. This issue therefore needs a separate Commission proposal and should not be included in the general services directive. Lastly, now that the European Health Card has been created, the Commission must monitor its implementation in the Member States to ensure that they are providing clear and comprehensible information about how the card works."@en1
