"Despite the fact that the report contains provisions that I consider to be of great relevance on the growing importance of healthcare provision for the elderly and the need to improve knowledge of diseases that affect older people in particular, in general, it says little that is new. In fact, by trying to mention everything, it ends up being a ‘wish list’, to which the rapporteur has added, on the pretext of ‘reducing health inequalities’, issues as diverse – and unconnected to equality of access to healthcare – as domestic violence, investigation of the pharmaceutical sector, and the policies of the Member States with regard to the voluntary interruption of pregnancy and access to fertility treatment for homosexuals. I do not believe this to be the arena where these issues should be dealt with. We know that access to abortion and medically assisted reproduction for homosexual couples are controversial issues within the Member States, and only the Member States can freely make decisions about them. For this reason as well, I cannot vote in favour of the report."@en1
