Statlige reformer på rus- og psykisk helsefeltet – er virkemidlene tilstrekkelige?
Year: 2021
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: This chapter discusses how reforms of services for people with mental health and addiction problems are designed, asking to what extent the steering instruments advanced can adequately ensure implementation in accordance with goals of integrated services at local levels of government. The theoretical approach relies on conceptualizations of “hard” and “soft” instruments and how the idea of a “new paradigm” to strengthen local service provision for these recipient groups is designed to make this happen. The conclusion is that while the instruments are compatible with the goals of the reforms, the funding system in particular is not precise enough to ensure forceful implementation processes at local levels of government.
