Regional Tasks in Denmark

The tasks of the regions include health care, operation of social and special education institutions as well as regional development - all complex and comprehensive tasks that need a decentralised solution

The regions have the main responsibility for the provision of hospital services – both somatic and psychiatric hospitals. The regions also run a number of social institutions.

Furthermore, the regions are in charge of the regional growth fora. The regional growth fora consist of up to 20 representatives from the region, the municipalities, local trade and industry, knowledge institutions and the labour market parties. The growth fora's overall mission is to create optimal conditions for trade and industry in order to generate growth and development.

The regions are also responsible for tasks within the areas of public transport, tourism, education and soil pollution.
