lpv:spoken text	". – The Commission’s communication on the future of health care and care for the elderly, focusing on accessibility, quality and financial viability, provides a useful framework for policy exchange regarding the challenges that all Member States are facing in this area. Several years ago we initiated the successful European Year for older people which acknowledged the contribution of older people in our society. The Employment Committee’s report has considerably expanded this framework. I am pleased that the communication is being debated so that the Member States and the public can learn more about the challenges involved. The organisation of health care systems, their funding and planning are, of course, matters for the Member States. The family, the role of community groups and volunteers who can provide support services and the introduction of a respite care grant for dependent older persons must form part of this health strategy. I did not support amendments which failed to recognise the positive developments in relation to care for older people. I support the Commission’s assessment that the EU has an overall health situation and health care system that are among the best in the world. I supported the amendments aimed at promoting cooperation rather than the open method of cooperation."@en1
