Report on adjustments made to hospital construction projects

21-02-2020

Report no. 11/2019

The purpose of the study is to assess whether the regions as project owners and the Ministry of Health as the supervisory authority ensure that adjustments made to the hospital construction projects are aligned with the purpose of the funding programme and the conditions of the government's commitment.

The report answers the following questions:

  • Have the regions considered the potential consequences of adjustments made to the hospital construction projects, in a satisfactory manner?
  • Has the Ministry of Health conducted its supervision of the adjustments made to the hospital construction projects by the regions, in a satisfactory manner?

Overall, the regions as project owners and the Ministry of Health as supervisory authority have not ensured, in a satisfactory manner, that adjustments made to the hospital construction projects are aligned with the purpose of the funding programme and the government's commitment. As a result, the adjustments may have inappropriate consequences, and over time rolling back adjustments already made to the construction projects, may become necessary. 

Rigsrevisionen initiated the study in February 2019.
