<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 />
