Commissioner, the fact that thought is being given to cross-border patient mobility is, in itself, a good thing, but patient mobility, however, is entirely different from the mobility of commercial health services. These terms are too often mixed up.
Discussion of patient mobility should not in any event lead to the national healthcare systems being undermined or to Member States passing the buck in an attempt to make their own health care systems reliable, whether in terms of quality or quantity. Nor should it lead to the liberalisation of the healthcare market or force patients out of their own countries to seek care.
Patient mobility is a patient right and should certainly not become the excuse for applying the Services Directive to healthcare services. This House has taken a clear stand against this and would be robbed of its credibility if it were now to take a different line."@en1
