How does the law of the European Union affect health law and policy? At first sight, it seems limited. However, despite its restricted formal competence, the EU has recently become increasingly involved in the health field. Litigation based on EU law has resulted in a ''right to receive health care services'' across national boundaries which may have huge practical implications for national health systems.
