The 20012006 health programme is a fine theoretical document, which follows the philosophy of the public health Eurocrats, although it is somewhat cautious on some issues, specifically:
human public health is an issue which is crucial to sustainable human development. Therefore, all public and private services should exist to serve it and regional coordination and funding should clearly demonstrate the importance of human health without undermining national responsibilities;
therapeutic and diagnostic measures must not be considered to be exclusively commercial and industrial activities. It should be noted that this component of public health has been treated as a separate commercial area and is currently controlled by multinationals, which undermines national and regional interests. We will not, therefore, be able to have a good public health programme until we change this situation;
The programme avoids talking about factors for health in the workplace and for workers’ health. We cannot start from the premise that the direct and indirect costs of people working in poor conditions should be met by society, leaving the capitalists with the increased profits from having their employees work in such conditions.
Lastly, I must mention the need to make more progress in protecting human public health by increasing the programme’s funding, amongst other things, as stated in the amendments for which we have voted."@en1
