lpv:translated text	"Health is a fundamental social right and one of the cornerstones of the European social model. Confidence that health care can be provided is a precondition of the individual being able to operate properly in society. It provides security. Work therefore needs to be done on harmonising and improving the quality of the health care Europeans receive. The ageing of the population will create problems in relation to the national health systems’ capacity to secure access and quality in the future. In spite of their different healthcare arrangements, all the Member States face this problem. Modernisation is required. Resources within the health sector therefore need to be used better, but it is important for this not just to mean rationalisation and greater efficiency. We have to remember that prevention is the most effective form of health care. In the Europe of the future, health must not be seen as a cost but, rather, as facilitating a competitive economy. The mid-term evaluation of the Lisbon Strategy also emphasises the need for the social pillar. The social dimension is quite simply a necessity if Europe is to achieve growth and employment. If we are to go on securing a well-educated and skilful labour force, we must be able to offer effective and universal health care. The Member States must therefore become better at making use of the open coordination method and the opportunity it provides for exchanging good practice. More should also be done to improve our working environment so that we prevent accidents at work and work-related illnesses. An improved environment will generally also have a beneficial effect on general health and will thus make for healthier people, which will again release resources for health care. Health, growth and employment are inextricably linked."@en1
