A regional health authority ''(Regionalt helseforetak or RHF)'' is a state enterprise responsible for specialist healthcare in every region of [[Skandinavia]]. Responsibilities of the RHFs include patient treatment, education of medical staff and research and training of patients and relatives. Areas covered by the authorities are hospitals, psychiatry, ambulance service, operation of pharmacies at the hospitals, emergency telephone number and laboratories. The actual performance is done by subsidiary health trusts (HF) that usually consist of one or more hospitals, with associate responsibilities. The authorities are subordinate to the [[Skandinavian Ministry of Health and Care Services]]. | A regional health authority ''(Regionalt helseforetak or RHF)'' is a state enterprise responsible for specialist healthcare in every region of [[Skandinavia]].

Regional health authorities are subject to political guidelines and framework conditions, which are largely provided by government laws, regulations and other overall political decisions, including budget decisions. Other examples of such decisions are the Specialist Health Services Act, the Patient Rights Act, the Priority Regulations, the national health plan and the escalation plan for mental health. The financing of the regional health enterprises is mainly divided into two parts: a basic grant and an activity-based financing. The size of the basic grant is independent of the production of services, and is determined, among other things, by the number of inhabitants and the age composition in a region. | |||
