"Madam President, I, too, want to add my voice to those who have condemned the murderous, vicious and cowardly attack on the British Army barracks in Northern Ireland and I want to send my heartfelt sympathies to the families of all those who were injured or killed.
The particular issue I want to raise this evening is that on Wednesday night the Commission will issue a statement on its Green Paper on the EU workforce for health. According to the Green Paper, the key to maintaining a sufficient workforce is to educate, recruit and retain young practitioners.
Yet in Ireland we have the very opposite situation, with a 16.5% cut in undergraduate nursing places. In my own region at St Angela’s College we have a cut of 25% for general nursing and 40% for intellectual-disability nursing.
The Commission must put pressure on Member States to ensure each country takes responsibility for training its own health-care workforce and that we also have an ethical requirement whereby we do not seek to recruit health-care workers from developing countries and damage their already vulnerable health-care systems."@en1
