"Health and life expectancy are intimately linked to social conditions. It is essential that the reduction of inequalities be considered a fundamental priority at all levels of political activity, in pursuit of the ‘health in all policies’ strategy and ensuring that effective impact assessments are conducted. Inequalities persist, as shown by the fact that, in 2007, life expectancy at birth showed a variation of 14.2 years between EU Member States for men, and 8.3 years for women. There is a need to improve universal access to health systems and healthcare that is financially accessible to all. It is important to improve access to disease prevention and health promotion, as well as to primary and specialist health services, and to reduce inequalities between different social groups.
However, I did not vote in favour of the report as I do not agree with paragraph 29, which, and I quote, ‘calls on the EU and the Member States to take the necessary measures, in relation to access to assisted reproductive technologies (ART), to eliminate discrimination against women on the grounds of marital status, age, sexual orientation or ethnic or cultural origins’."@en1
