lpv:translated text	". Health care systems across the EU face the same challenges: to deliver access for all, high levels of quality and financial sustainability. The Member States are responsible for organising and funding health care systems, but cooperation must be enhanced by exchanging information, experience and best practice. We endorse the application of the open method of coordination and a detailed timetable, but Member States must lay down common objectives and indicators by the time of the 2006 Spring European Council. Some Member States are struggling with long waiting times for certain treatments and ever-dwindling numbers of doctors, health care professionals and suitably qualified health care providers. Member States must improve the quality of services and, by means of the Structural Funds, must invest in infrastructure and the training and development of professionals in these sectors. A network of European reference centres for diseases must be created, in which a particular concentration of resources and specialist knowledge is required, with a view to improving the use of current EU capacity. In view of the ageing of the population, these problems will be exacerbated, and as a result there will be a marked rise in the number of diseases requiring intensive medical treatment and long-term medical care. This will endanger the financial sustainability of health care systems."@en1
