calls for health to be recognised as a value in its own right, so that health system expenditure is seen as an investment in population health, one which can have additional benefits in the form of greater productivity, increased labour supply and sustainable public finances;
reiterates that public health is in the first instance national responsibility and upholds the subsidiarity principle in this area whilst emphasising that a considerable part of the responsibility for health affairs lies with local and regional authorities
advocates caution on the part of the Commission when it comes to introducing a comprehensive reporting system for evaluating health system outcomes and notes that one of the advantages of cooperating more closely with the WHO and the OECD could be to make better use of existing data;
believes that the potential synergies between health services in border regions have not yet been fully harnessed and urges the public authorities of the Member States to encourage cooperation agreements in this regard
