The same is true with regard to "the responsibility of member states for the delivery of education and health services". The conclusions also refer to:

. . . the essential role and wide discretion of national, regional and local governments in providing, commissioning and organising non-economic services of general interest, which is not affected by any provision of the Treaty of Lisbon, including those relating to the common commercial policy.

That is a reiteration of protocol 9 of the Lisbon treaty. The "non-economic services of general interest" definition is, as we know, constructed in such a way as to limit governments' role in the broader field of public services, namely health, education, social services, transport, utilities etc.
