[Resolutions of the Health Council: instrument of social control or bureaucratic document].
The present study has a documentary character and analyzes the resolutions registered in minutes of meetings of a Health Council, as a form to characterize the social control in health carried through for this instance. The majority of the resolutions were referred to the approval of Programs and Projects, arising from the Secretariat of Health, regarding the reform, material and equipment acquisition for units of health, the qualification of existing services or the creation of new services. The study suggests that the practical one of this council seems to be bureaucratic, without any proposal of politics of health for the council is visualized. The way the resolutions have being legalized does not characterize its guiding not even the visibility of the actions for the population in general. In the studied case, it is signaled that the mere regular functioning of this council does not guarantee that exist effective social control.
