Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) Whereas, with an ageing population and changing family structures, the demand for formal, professionalised care is increasing as the availability of informal care in the family environment is declining. Healthcare has also become more specialised and requires more intense work and longer training. By 2020 there will be a shortage of one million health workers in the Union and, should no action be taken, 15% of necessary care will not be covered, the Programme should be addressed in order to create significant employment opportunities.
