"Mr President, as a shadow I was pleased to see my amendments incorporated into this report on e-health, and I voted in favour. E-health has significant potential to improve healthcare for both patients and health professionals alike. Of course, e-health should never be seen as a replacement for face-to-face care, especially for the elderly, and it is of the utmost importance that data protection issues are clarified and dealt with, given the highly sensitive nature of patients’ healthcare.
Nevertheless, a patient-centred e-health approach can be an excellent tool for improving access to healthcare services, especially for those who live in remote regions – as in Ireland, where much of the population is in rural areas. I supported the development of the North-West Health Innovation Corridor in Ireland, and I believe that a well-developed e-health action plan will help such a corridor to deliver for people in its network and beyond."@en1
