EC Green Paper on the Workforce for Health
The 
EC Green Paper on the EU Workforce for Health was published in December 2008 and deals with the current situation of healthcare workers and the challenges they face.

With this document the EC intends to increase the political visibility of the issues involving healthcare providers and to promote a debate between authorities and stakeholders with the aim to exchange best practice and to improve the conditions for healthcare workers.
