"The severity of the economic crisis continues to be felt across the board, with no sector immune from budgetary constraints. One of the most dramatic impacts of a tumultuous financial climate has been the impact on the health sector. It is therefore vital that the EU and Member States capitalise on the enormous market potential of eHealth. The new eHealth Action Plan, in line with the Europe 2020 Strategy and the Digital Agenda for Europe, will hopefully ameliorate some of the existing difficulties of establishing a fully operable system to contend with the pan-European challenges of ageing populations and the increasing incidence of chronic diseases. In my own constituency of Northern Ireland, we have seen the difficulties of meeting these challenges particularly with certain services either unavailable, inefficient or both. I believe the new eHealth Action Plan can build upon local and regional success stories in Member States, disseminating models of best practice elsewhere. For instance, the impressive development of the Connected Health initiative has placed Northern Ireland at the forefront of Europe in developing eHealth technologies. I support the report’s recommendations for the eHealth Action Plan 2012-2020, and hope this serves as a basis to tackle modern health challenges."@en1
