– We Greens have supported the text because paragraph 99 (on private/capital-funded systems) was deleted, and because the rest of the text has taken some positive Green points on board. For instance, measures concerning the retirement age should be based on the needs of the persons concerned; periods spent working, learning, caring or volunteering are complementary and provide valuable experience at all ages; there is a need to combat age discrimination and to set country specific targets for access to training and lifelong learning for older workers, broken down by age group and gender. Older people’s employability also depends on autonomy and individual choice for workers and a better work-life balance. In order to avoid a disproportion ...[+++]ate burden on women because of an increased demand for care in an ageing society, labour and care should be rendered compatible in all Member States and equally distributed between women and men.

What is more, the various liberal ideas that are currently in vogue, which include viewing health care as a service and a market commodity and making it more difficult to acquire specialist qualifications, as well as the various economic programmes that advocate job cuts at the expense of health-care systems and that merely improve the economic situation of private medical centres, will not solve the growing number of problems we face in the health-care sector or create new jobs. The end result of this will be an increase in the cost of medical care and a deterioration of public health.

Everything that is done in the context of health care and long-term care is done in the interests of the patient; the availability of care is in his interest, as are the quality and the financial sustainability of care systems. For this reason the individual must have maximum access to information and extensive rights as regards decision-making, and at the same time he must assume responsibility (including financial responsibility) for the decisions he takes.

According to the Commission the key to the development and the reform of health-care and long-term-care systems is the effective running of systems based on the linking of responsibilities and the transfer thereof to the individuals involved in the systems, including the social partners, local and regional authorities, patients and non-governmental organisations. At the same time health-care providers, financial organisations, non-governmental organisations and public authorities must be coordinated.
