title: [Reintroduction of state activities. Problems of the health sector seen from a renewal's perspective].
abstract: Medical knowledge is increasing and calls for a flexible public health service. The counties' responsibility for the public health service makes this difficult. A National Hospital Council would ensure that the decentralized public health services makes full use of the country's total resources, without the transfer of money between different administrative levels at additional cost to the patient during serious illness. The article discusses management and administration of hospitals. The DRG-System is compared with the system of payment for patients' stay in hospital. The previous nationally appointed district doctor arrangement is discussed in relation to the present local community doctor arrangement.
