"Inequalities in health constitute a problem to be addressed at European level. The reasons often stem from differences in terms of opportunities, access to services and material resources, as well as from different life choices made by individuals. We need an innovative political outlook to address them. The economic and financial crisis of recent years has resulted in a reduction in the level of funding for health services and long-term care as a result of budget cuts and reductions in tax revenue, while the demand for health services and long-term care has increased. Numerous Member States have included in their recovery plans measures such as investments in healthcare restructuring and additional financing of the health system. Interventions to tackle health inequalities, however, vary widely from state to state. The collection and sharing of data on strategies, policies and effective interventions will help to obtain support from governments. It is essential that the reduction in health inequalities should be considered a high priority, by pursuing such an approach based on ‘health in all policies’ and ensuring effective impact assessments that take into account the results obtained in terms of equality in health."@en1
