Everything about Sk Ne Regional Council totally explained
The
Skåne Regional Council (
Region Skåne) is the
County Council of
Skåne County in
Sweden.
Region Skåne (or formally
Skåne läns landsting) was created on
Jan 1,
1999, by the amalgamation of the County councils of
Malmöhus County and
Kristianstad County and some of the tasks handled by
Malmö Municipality.
Its county assembly is the highest political body in the region and its members are elected by the Scanians themselves, as opposed to the
County Administrative Board (
länsstyrelsen) that guards the interest of the state in the region under the chairmanship of the county governor.
The regional council's main responsibility is for the
public healthcare system,
public transport and development within the region, which includes co-ordination of development of commerce, communication, culture and collaboration with other regions both in and outside of Sweden. This responsibility is implemented on a trial basis and extends up to and including 2010.
By devolution the newly formed regional council assumed some power from the Skåne County Administrative Board, the
state authority in Skåne County.
Before Region Skåne was formed in 1999 on a trial basis, the regional development was the responsibility of a Regional Association, comprising the 33 municipalities together with the then current health services principals, namely the Kristianstad and Malmöhus county councils and the Health Services authority in the City of Malmö.
Similar provisions had also been extended to the
Västra Götaland Regional Council and the
Gotland Council during a trial period.

2010.
The executive body of the Skåne Regional Council is the Board of Commissioners (
