Abstract

This report analyses the developments and effects of healthcare integration in the European Union. Even though the mobility of patients is fairly low at present this can be expected to change if for example information on available treatments becomes readily available to the citizens and if rules and rights become more transparent. The report also addresses to what extent different national healthcare models are affected by increased patient mobility and what other factors, such as quality and quantity of health care supply, may affect mobility. The report finally looks at the different views of the member states on health services in a European context.
