AGE contributed to the consultation of the European Commission on Patient Safety.
The specific objective of this consultation was to seek opinion of civil society on:
- Whether patient safety measures included in the Recommendation 2009 are implemented and contribute to improving patient safety in the EU;
- Which areas of patient safety are not covered by the Recommendation and should be;
- What should be done at EU level on patient safety beyond the Recommendation;
- Whether quality of healthcare should be given more importance in the future EU activities.
