OECD Better Life IndexThe Danish health system remains decentralised for service provision and public health, although there has been gradual centralisation of overall planning and regulation to the national level. The national government takes the lead in regulation, supervision, general planning and quality monitoring; the regions are responsible for detailed planning, defining and delivering health services in hospital; and the municipalities have responsibility for health promotion, disease prevention, rehabilitation, home care and non-specialised long-term care. National health authorities set standards and assess the quality of care.
