Dette direktiv skal gøre det muligt for alle patienter - og ikke blot de bedst informerede - at benytte en række rettigheder i forbindelse med sundhedsydelser, der imidlertid allerede er anerkendt af Domstolen.
The aim of this directive is for all patients - not just the best informed ones - to benefit from a certain number of healthcare rights, which were, however, already recognised by the Court of Justice of the European Union.
