Final Programme 2001<br />
<strong>Forum</strong> III: <strong>Health</strong> and the Single <strong>European</strong> Market<br />
(hosted by the <strong>European</strong> Commission, DG <strong>Health</strong> and Consumer Protection)<br />
The purpose of <strong>Forum</strong> III will be to explore the impact that the Single <strong>European</strong> Market<br />
(SEM) is likely to have on the ways that health services function. This <strong>Forum</strong> will explore<br />
three principal aspects of the SEM as it may affect health services:<br />
• The development of the labour market for doctors and nurses<br />
• Public procurement of medical goods and services<br />
• The free movement of patients<br />
The <strong>Forum</strong> will also consider the recommendations of a major EU-funded study on the impact<br />
of SEM regulations on health services which was published recently.<br />
