- Summary
- On 16 November 2011, the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers adopted a key Recommendation to the Member States on mobility, migration and access to healthcare. The Committee calls for governments to provide migrants with adequate entitlements to health services and to pay special attention to the entitlement of irregular migrants. The ministers also state that no individuals or agencies responsible for healthcare should be required to inform the authorities, and health professionals providing services to irregular migrants should not be liable to prosecution.
