2.1.2 Brief description
The overall aim of this project was to develop a strategy for improving the accessibility and quality of harm reduction services in the EU and WHO European Region. This concerned in particular HIV treatment, integrated HIV-TB services, hepatitis C treatment and opioid substitution treatment for injecting drug users (IDUs) in Europe. In addition, training on the delivery of high-quality harm reduction services in the WHO European Region was developed and the formation of policies supporting such services was promoted.
By looking at how harm reduction services for treatment and care for injecting drug users can be improved, this project also contributed to the implementation of the Commission communication on combating HIV/AIDS in the European Union and the neighbouring countries 2009-2013. The work was carried out by the WHO Regional Office for Europe with the Centre for Research on Drugs and Health Behaviour at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Eurasian Harm Reduction Network.
2.1.3 Concrete outcomes
The key output of this project was the production of proposals towards WHO European Action Plan for HIV/AIDS 2012-2015, which has been adopted by 53 countries of the European region. In addition, a set of recommendations on indicators of quality and delivery for hepatitis C treatment were prepared together with guidance on how to scale-up and implement opioid substitution treatment. In addition, a training module on tuberculosis prevention and on the treatment and care of drug-users was developed.
Finally, a policy briefing on developing integrated models of tuberculosis-HIV services and on barriers and facilitators to hepatitis C treatment for injecting drug users was prepared.

2.2 ELIPSY: EUROPEAN LIVING DONOR PSYCHOSOCIAL FOLLOW- UP
2.2.1 Background
The project was funded under the 2008 work plan of the second Health Programme 2008-2013, with the funding from the EU totalling EUR 299.128,25. It started in December 2009 and ended in November 2012.
2.2.2 Brief description
The objective was to contribute to a high quality of living organ donation by creating a follow-up model for the living donors' psychosocial well-being and quality of life, and to promote its use in living donor transplantation programmes in the EU Member States. The transplant centres with living donations need to include the psychosocial assessment of each living donor in their protocols to uncover any coercion to donate and any psychological or social problems that could have an impact on the selection for donors. The study was a multicentre study developed in six European centres and countries.
2.2.3 Concrete outcomes
The study identified the most relevant variables to be assessed in an evaluation procedure during the living donor psychosocial follow-up. The quality of life scores fell within the normal range compared to the general population. The ELIPSY module can be directly used by health professionals in transplant centres with living donation programmes.
Finally, the ELIPSY module makes a substantial contribution to the new Joint Action ACCORD as regards living donation registries. Therefore, the project provides useful information for the competent authorities in the Member States and guide the development of future EU policies in this field.

3.1.2 Brief description
The aim of the project was to set up a validated methodology to benchmark the quality of care of patients suffering from coronary heart disease (CHD) in Europe. The prevalence of CHD is 3-10% in the European adult population and 50% of patients are above 65 years of age.
The project developed an evaluation method related to hospital care of CHD, allowing comparison of performance among European hospitals. The participation of the European Federation of Hospitals (HOPE) ensured that a large number of hospitals across Europe took part in the study - the patient sample came from 200 hospitals across seven European countries.
3.1.3 Concrete outcomes
The project developed a set of predictive mathematical functions to assess the quality of management of myocardial infarction (MI) or unstable angina (UA) patients through three different medical procedures: coronary angiography, thrombolysis and percutaneous intervention.
Hospital admission and discharge data were analysed so as to study the differences in patient cases and the specialization levels of participating institutions.
The project delivered an interactive website where hospital managers can easily compare the performance quality of the institutions.
The project demonstrated that there is a great interest for an objective and reliable assessment method, when hospital managers can use it on a voluntary basis.

3.2 ENERCA 3 - European Reference network of expert centres in rare anaemias
3.2.1 Background information
The project was funded under the 2008 work plan of the first Public Health Programme 2003-2008, with funding from the EU totalling EUR 1.193.799, 97. It started in June 2009 and ended in November 2012.
3.2.2 Brief description
The main objective of ENERCA 3 was to establish a European Reference Network of Expert Centres in Rare Anaemias. The first task was to identify appropriate Expert Centres and to foster their cooperation by providing a platform for this purpose. A specific network website (www.enerca.org) which had been developed under previous ENERCA 1 and 2 projects was used to provide support for information and use of communication technologies such as telemedicine. The Expert Centres were asked to include in their activities effective sharing of expertise and knowledge in order to facilitate the treatment of patients to improve the cooperation between relevant experts and the exchange of professionals nationally and at the EU level.
7
3.2.3 Concrete outcomes The main outcome of the project was the establishment of a European Reference Network of Expert Centres in Rare Anaemias. This work involved the identification of Expert Centres, an analysis of the legal and ethical issues related to patient care at the national, EU and international levels and identification of the key players across the Member States.
A set of laboratory procedures and guidelines for the laboratory diagnostics of sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and very rare anaemias were developed and the partners promoted quality assurance and accreditation of laboratory systems throughout Europe by identifying available accredited External Quality Assurance Services (EQAS) in rare anaemias and performing educational EQAS exercises.
The project also contributed to international efforts for the collection of data on rare anaemias with the aim of improving the diagnosis, treatment and more generally, the management and epidemiological surveillance of this set of rare diseases across Europe.
Finally, six courses (three European and three national) on rare anaemias for Continuous Medical Education and Training were organised and an educational video on hemoglobinopathies was produced.

3.3 NBS Screening project: Evaluation of population newborn screening practices for rare disorders in Member States of the European Union
3.3.1 Background information
This service contract was funded under the 2009 work plan of the second Health Programme 2008-2013, with funding from the EU totalling EUR 399.755. It started in January 2010 and ended in January 2012.
3.3.2 Brief description
This study aimed to review the state of the art of new born screening practices for rare disorders across the EU and to develop a set of recommendations and tools addressing the consequences of differing practices among Member States.
Since the first tests for new born screening (NBS) were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, technological innovation has led to new methods of testing and, in consequence, to significant variations in the way EU Member States are defining and applying screening programmes.
3.3.3 Concrete outcomes
An EU-wide network of experts was set up, primarily to review and analyse the collected information. The experts reviewed the key aspects of current NBS programmes for rare disorders among the EU 27.
8
They produced an extensive report on information related to the number of centres, estimation of the number of infants screened and the number of disorders included in the screening programmes.
Subsequently, a consensus opinion was developed with a set of concrete recommendations on best practices. This opinion has also been endorsed by the EU Committee of experts on Rare Diseases in 2012.
Finally, the project also produced a decision-making matrix that could be used by Member States when reviewing their national screening programmes.

3.4 PITOC: Public Information Tobacco Control
3.4.1 Background information
The project was funded under the 2008 work plan of the second Health Programme 2008-2013, with funding from the EU totalling EUR 188.952. It started in January 2010 and ended in January 2012.
3.4.2 Brief description
The aim of the project was to contribute to the reduction of smoking-related morbidity and mortality by supporting the implementation of EU tobacco products legislation. Directive 2001/37/EC stated that part of the data on tobacco ingredients, submitted by manufacturers, must be also disseminated to the consumers.
The project aimed to produce information documents (factsheets) on 14 tobacco ingredients which pose the highest health hazards regarding their nature and the amount in which they are generally added: sugars + caramel, glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol, cacao, aldehydes, ammonia, menthol, liquorice, prune, carob bean, guar gum, vanillin (or lactic acid) and cellulose fibre.
3.4.3 Concre te outcomes
As a main result, 16 European countries collaboratively launched websites that inform the general public on the general and tobacco industry use of tobacco additives as well as their harmful health effects. The fact sheets on tobacco ingredients and their dangers to health have been disseminated via the websites. In addition, health professionals were provided fact sheets for use in public health practices. Finally, guidance was also provided to policy makers regarding regulation of the contents of tobacco products.

3.5 Project Take Care: Strategies towards responsible alcohol consumption for adolescents in Europe
3.5.1 Background information
The project was funded under the 2009 work plan of the second Health Programme 2008-2013, with total funding from the EU totalling EUR 900,000. It started in March 2010 and ended in November 2012.
3.5.2 Brief description
The overall objective of the project was to reduce alcohol consumption and the related harm to adolescents and young adults in Europe. To do so, it developed and implemented concrete strategies and interventions which encouraged the responsible handling of alcohol by adolescents and teens, mainly focusing on youths between 12 and 21 years old.
Specifically, the project aimed to appraise and consolidate relevant best practices in the partner countries, to develop and implement a multi-level approach and draft manuals with and for adolescents and young adults, parents and other key persons and to put in practice a training module for retailers.
The project focused on a multilevel approach, i.e. that interventions are more effective and reinforce each other if they take place in a defined social environment (urban quarter, community) and are directed at different target groups simultaneously.
3.5.3 Concrete outcomes
Adolescents participated in a four-day "ro.pe-Training©". Parents and so-called key-persons (important figures in the adolescents' lives) received support to develop a clear and reflective attitude towards the use of alcohol, through dedicated trainings. Employees in retail in the social environment received information materials and coaching on everyday sales situations regarding alcohol and the compliance with the law on the sale of alcohol through "First-Rate Retailer Tools".
The project had a direct and measurable impact on all specific target groups. The consumption of alcohol by adolescents having risky patterns of drinking alcohol was reduced in amounts and/or frequency by almost 50% in the reference period. The project also improved the knowledge and competence of parents, key-persons and retailers to deal confidently with adolescents who consume alcohol. Finally, the project revealed an alarmingly low level of knowledge regarding the legislation on the sales of alcohol to minors.
The project delivered a comprehensive manual covering all aspects of the action. More information: http://ec.europa.eu/eahc/projects/database.html?prjno=20091220

3.6.2 Brief description
The objective of the project was to produce an EU-wide set of best practice guidelines on the application of genome-based knowledge and technologies to support the development of personalized medicine across the European Union. It followed up on the PHGEN I (Public Health Genomics European Network).
3.6.3 Concrete outcomes
The most important results of the project are as follows:
- Development of the European Best Practice Guidelines for Quality Assurance, Provision and Use of Genome-based Information and Technologies (summarized and endorsed as the "Declaration of Rome") which was published in the journal 'Drug Metabolism and Drug Interactions".
- Compilation of the existing evidence in the field of Genome-based Information and Technologies. For more information: http://ec.europa.eu/eahc/proiects/database,html?prino=20081302
3.7 Correlation II: European Network Social Inclusion and Health
3.7.1 Background information
The project was funded under the 2008 work plan of the first Health Programme 2003-2008, with the co-funding from the EU totalling EUR 894.145,28. It started in April 2009 and ended in March 2012.
3.7.2 Brief description
The aim of the project was to improve prevention, care and treatment services on blood-borne infectious diseases, and in particular, on Hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS among vulnerable and high risk populations such as drug users and young people at risk. Concretely, the Correlation network focused on increasing access to services and the quality of health promotion interventions, strengthening capacities among health service providers and influencing health policies.
3.7.3 Concrete outcomes
For the e-health strategies in the field of prevention, a Social Intervention Tool and a related training module was developed. It can be used by service providers for e-Health, e-counselling and e-therapy by using online chatting (http://digitalhealth.eu/).
11
As regards peer education, a peer support strategy and peer-based health promotion and prevention strategies, the existing literature and manuals were reviewed and a peer support website was set up including curricula and description of various good practices for peer support.
Concerning Hepatitis C, a booklet was produced on good practices related to intervention strategies "Hepatitis C: Transmission and Injecting Drug use: Harm Reduction Responses". Furthermore, a training tool was developed and field tested with 27 representatives from 13 countries (RO, SK, SE, NL, ES, FR and ENP countries including Ukraine, Russia, Moldova, Serbia, and Albania). The manual was translated into Russian, Swedish and Spanish.
Finally, concerning HIV/AIDS, a set of evidence based policy recommendations was developed on prevention related to special risk groups. The recommendations were presented at the European Parliament seminar on 29-30 June 2011 and at the final conference in December 2011 in Ljubljana.

4 Health information
4.1 SCPE-NET - Surveillance of cerebral palsy in Europe: best practice in monitoring, understanding inequality and dissemination of knowledge
4.1.1 Background information
The project was funded under the 2008 work plan of the second Health Programme 2008-2013, with co-funding from the EU totalling EUR 600,000. It started in October 2009 and ended in December 2012.
4.1.2 Brief description
This project aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) in all European countries. The specific objectives were to disseminate information and best practice aimed at children with CP to parents and professionals and to document variations in health care provision, access and outcomes in children with cerebral palsy. In addition, the project aimed at improving the collection, recording, description and use of clinical and epidemiological data on CP. Finally, the project aimed at making recommendations for monitoring CP and intellectual impairment at regional or national level, and also possibly translating this new knowledge and experience on CP to other childhood impairments and chronic conditions.
4.1.3 Concrete outcomes
The main outcomes of the project were a set of recommendations on best practice in clinical information of children and young people with CP, a newly developed classification and scale and evidence on variations in a series of clinical interventions and outcomes across Europe. The project
12
also included an analysis by socioeconomic status using the limited available data. A proposal for obtaining quality and comparable socioeconomic data in the EU CP registers is now available. The SCPE-NET project increased the SCPE common database by more than 3000 cases. Innovative data analysis methods were incorporated and new epidemiologic data were published.
The publicly open and multilingual website developed by SCPE-NET is a platform for disseminating epidemiological information on CP and innovative medical education materials such as the SCPE Reference and Training Manual.

4.2 EURO-GBD-SE: The potential for reduction of health inequalities in Europe
4.2.1 Background information
The project was funded under the 2008 work plan of the second Health Programme 2008-2013, with total co-funding from the EU of EUR 749.950,38. It started in July 2009 and ended in June 2012.
4.2.2 Brief description
EURO-GBD-SE project had three main objectives; 1.) to provide updated estimates of the magnitude of socioeconomic inequalities in health in Europe; 2.) to assess the contribution of risk factors to these health inequalities and; 3.) to analyse the extent to which health inequalities in Europe can be reduced by policies and interventions focusing on socioeconomic determinants and specific risk factors.
4.2.3 Concrete outcomes
The project demonstrated that inequalities in mortality and morbidity in Europe have persisted into the 21st century, and manifest themselves in patterns that are broadly similar to those seen in the 1990s. This implies that they continue to be one of the main challenges for public health policy. The project also showed that the explanation of inequalities in mortality, in terms of the quantitative contribution of specific risk factors, differs between European countries. This implies that different countries have different entry-points for policies to tackle health inequalities.
Furthermore, the project has shown that many countries can reduce their relative inequalities in mortality by up to 10, 20 or even 30% if they would succeed in reducing inequalities in one or more risk factors to the level currently seen in the European country with the smallest inequalities in exposure.

4.3 OECD: Cooperation on key areas of work of the Health Committee of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
4.3.1 Background information
This Direct Grant Agreement project was funded under the 2009 work plan of the second Health Programme 2008-2013, with the funding from the EU totalling EUR 600,000. It started in August 2010 and ended in December 2012.
4.3.2 Brief description
The aim of this project was to improve analysis of different health systems to enhance the capacity of the European Commission and the OECD to compare hospital efficiency and performance across countries. The project aimed at developing modelling on the effectiveness, efficiency and distributional impact of health interventions and comparing the performance of the hospital sector.
Hospital sector comparisons were seen as a key component in achieving a better estimate of the impacts of health interventions. Such interventions were essential to develop tools to support health policies and integrated approaches in the areas of prevention and treatment of chronic diseases.
4.3.3 Concre te outcomes
First, work consisted of testing and validating a modelling template (so-called CDP 2.0 template) which is the first computer simulation to dynamically model the complex relationships deriving from interactions between socio-economic factors, epidemiological trends, treatment pathways and the organisation and financing of health care. This was done for all major non-communicable diseases to compare the effectiveness of policy interventions from prevention to treatment and long-term care.
Second, work focused on continued data collection on surgical interventions and identifying the reasons behind large variations in surgical activity rates across the EU. It was found out that some of these variations reflect data comparability limitations. Nevertheless, a significant part of the variations reflect real and important differences in surgical activity rates.
Third, results show that the volume and type of surgical procedures performed in hospitals have evolved overtime, some types of surgical interventions growing rapidly (e.g., cataract surgery, hip and knee replacement) and other interventions declining as they are replaced by improved techniques (e.g., coronary bypass surgery, appendectomy).
Finally, an improved capacity for hospital efficiency and performance comparisons was considered useful as regards a possible extension of the joint OECD/Eurostat/WHO-Europe efforts on health care statistics.

15
1 Budget
The budget for the second Health Programme for the period 2008-2013 is EUR 321.5 million. The budget set out in the work plan for 20121 was EUR 49 700 000. This was broken down as follows:
Operational expenditure: EUR 48 300 000 corresponding to budget line 17 03 06 — EU action in the field of health;
Administrative expenditure: EUR 1 400 000 corresponding to budget line 17 01 04 02 — Expenditure on administrative management.
With the inclusion of EFTA/EEA and Croatia credits and recovery credits from previous budgetary years, the total operational budget amounted to EUR 51 590 623 and the total administrative budget to EUR 1 436 400.
The former Executive Agency for Health and Consumers (EAHC) which in January 2014 was renamed as the Consumers, Health and Food Executive Agency (CHAFEA), has been providing the Commission with technical, scientific and administrative assistance in implementing the Health Programme since 20052. The CHAFEA organises annual calls for proposals, coordinates the evaluation of submissions, and negotiates, signs and manages related grant agreements. The CHAFEA is also responsible for many procurement procedures. In 2012, the CHAFEA managed EUR 34 434 936,01 and the Commission managed the remaining EUR 16 920 727,63 covering procurement and some other actions.

2 Priorities for 2012 and financing mechanisms
The priorities for 2012 were set out in Commission Implementing Decision 2011/C 358/06 of 1 December 2011 adopting the 2012 work plan and related criteria3.
The following financing mechanisms were used to implement the work plan for 2012:
Project grants: these are awarded to projects involving several partners, usually public health bodies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The maximum EU contribution is 60% of eligible costs. However, the EU contribution may go up to 80% if a proposal meets the criteria for exceptional utility.
Operating grants: these are awarded to non-profit organisations or specialised networks active in areas corresponding to the three objectives of the programme. Such bodies must be non-governmental, non-profit, and independent of industry or other conflicting interests and have as their primary objectives one or more goals of the programme. The maximum EU contribution is 60 % of their annual operating costs. However, the EU contribution may go up to 80% if a proposal meets the criteria for exceptional utility.
Grants for joint actions: these are awarded to Member States' authorities or bodies designated by them. The maximum EU contribution is 50%. However, the EU contribution may go up to 70%) if a proposal meets the criteria for exceptional utility. Exceptional utility co-financing of 70% was envisaged for the joint action "Facilitating collaboration on organ donation between national authorities in the EU" because of its contribution to the effective implementation of EU legislation in this field.
Conference grants: these go towards conferences on public health issues, organised by public bodies or non-profit organisations and the EU Council Presidencies. The maximum EU contribution is 50% of eligible costs.
Direct grant agreements with international organisations are awarded to international organisations active in the area of public health. The maximum EU contribution is 60%.
Procurement (service contracts): these are used to purchase services, such as evaluations, studies, data procurement and IT applications. The Health Programme fully covers the cost of procurement actions.
Competitive selection and award procedures are used to select actions for funding, with the exception of direct grant agreements and conferences organised by Council Presidencies, which represent de facto or de jure monopolies.
Administrative credits cover expenditure such as studies, meetings of experts, information and publication costs, and technical and administrative assistance for IT systems.

3.1 Calls for proposals
Four calls for proposals — for projects, conferences, operating grants and joint actions —were launched on 8 December 2011 on the Public Health Europa website4 and the CHAFEA website5. The calls were also published in the Official Journal of the European Union6. The calls closed on 9 March 2012. The majority of applications were received from main partners in EU-15 Member States: 85% of project applications, 84% of conference grant applications, 97% of operating grant applications, and 100% of joint action applications.
The CHAFEA organised a joint action workshop in December 2011 and a joint action quality assurance workshop in February 2012. Information days were organized in Brussels (for the European Innovation partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing), Italy and Greece. Guidelines for applicants were made available on the CHAFEA website. The CHAFEA helpdesk also provided assistance and practical help.
Altogether, 180 applications were submitted for an amount totalling EUR 87 220 234 with ten having been excluded already in the screening phase. Out of the 170 remaining applications, 47 (27,6%) were recommended for funding. Applications were evaluated in accordance with the rules and criteria set out in Commission Decision 2011/C 69/01 and the calls for proposals7. Applications were evaluated by 38 external experts, coming from 18 countries, drawn from a list that was established following a call for expressions of interest: 'Experts for the second programme of Community action in the field of health in various evaluation activities'8.
The evaluation process took place in two stages.
In the first stage, three external evaluators reviewed each proposal. A consolidated evaluation report for each proposal was drawn up at a meeting organised by the CHAFEA.
In the second stage, an evaluation committee checked that the evaluators had adhered to the relevant rules and criteria. It then drew up final lists of proposals recommended for funding together with reserve lists. The evaluation committee comprised representatives from the Directorate-General for Health and Consumers, the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation and the CHAFEA.
The committee of the second programme of Community action in the field of health (2008-13) issued a favourable opinion on the actions proposed for funding at its meeting on 29 June 2012. The related awarding Commission Decision was adopted on 5 July 20129.
