  5. Position of the EuHPN • Related to European Governments • Public Arena • Health property is the central issue • health property is the outcome of strategy and models of care • new health property is often catalyst for change - once built health property has a tremendous impact on delivery of health care

  6. European government policy • The EU - Brussels does not deal with the organisation of healthcare: subsidiarity principle • All EU governments have strong influence on the provision of hospital/health care • Governments responsibility sometimes laid down in the constitution (Netherlands) • Increasing macro-economic constraints: costs of healthcare limited by national and EU budget constraints

  7. Market-reform & competition • Many EU counties: market-reform and competition in healthcare • Many governments prefer to opt out of health • Health & education will never be true markets • For-profit hospitals in Europe function within a government policy framework • Governments remain responsible for the structure of hospital provision, especially acute & emergency care
