European union law affects health policy
Official European union health policy is currently something of a
Cinderella, but over the coming years is likely to grow despite the
diversity of its member states healthcare systems. Although the
union cannot use its health policy powers to cut across member states'
rights to run their own healthcare systems, union law has affected
health policy. Ben Duncan (p 1027) explains how the union and its
institutions work and how they can be influenced. He details the
development of European union level discussions on healthcare issues,
but warns that those who want to see major change in their influence
may be disappointed.
