Acts and rules

The Danish Parliament has laid down the legal basis for the work of the Danish Patient Safety Authority in a number of acts, including the Danish Health Act.

All Danish acts, executive orders, circulars, etc. are available at retsinformation.dk – the Danish national system for legal texts. It is a free service where you can search in all acts and rules issued by Danish ministries and central government agencies in Denmark. Current and historic legal texts are available.

Note that not all Danish acts and executive orders have been translated into English.

See rules and legislation for the Danish Ministry of Health at retsinformation.dk (in Danish only).

Consultations are published on 'Høringsportalen'
