Executive Summary
Norway's new health minister, Dagfinn Hcentybraten, has pledged to carry on the hospital reforms instituted by his predecessor, Tore Tcentnne, which include full ownership of the country's hospitals to the state. He said that from January 1 2002, the hospital structure itself would be transformed and buildings and equipment would become the property of the health service, rather than regional county authorities.
