"Mr President, Mrs Svensson has written an extremely fascinating and complete report, which discusses many aspects that are related to women and health care. I am not a doctor, but I gather that many comments in it put the finger on the sore spot. I am impressed with the care that emanates from this report. It shows a great deal of compassion for the individuals who cannot in any way stand up for themselves, certainly when that is the result of abuse, crime or addiction. I wholeheartedly endorse the appeal for an accessible health care system. Paragraph 21, however, is in sharp contrast with all the positive sections of this report. Whilst the report devotes much attention to the well-being and health of adults, paragraph 21 fails to guarantee this for people at an earlier stage of their lives. It appears that the rights of, and care for, adults are more important than those for people who have just started out in life. To me, the life of every human being is just as valuable, whether they be very young or very old. That is why I would like to call for the removal of those elements that draw a distinction between care in the different life stages. In that way, the positive approach of this report can also benefit those people who cannot yet look after their own interests. I hope that my fellow Members will be prepared to remove this blot on this otherwise excellent report."@en1
