Material type: materialTypeLabelArticlePublisher: London : Sage Publications, June 2013Subject(s): Accountability | Governança | Saúde | Alemanha | Noruega | DinamarcaInternational Review of Administrative Sciences 79, 2, p. 249-270Abstract: The article contributes to the literature on multi-level welfare governance and public accountability in the context of recent European hospital reforms. Focusing on the changing dynamics between regional and central governance of hospitals in Germany, Norway and Denmark, we raise concerns about the reshaping of traditional public accountability mechanisms. We argue that, triggered by growing financial pressures, corporatization and professionalization have increasingly removed decision-making power from regional political bodies in hospital funding and planning. National governments have tightened their control over the overall trajectory of their hospital systems, but have also shifted significant responsibility downwards to the hospital level. This has reshaped public accountability relationships towards more managerial or professional types embedded within multi-level forms of governance
