Advice concerning family planning is<br />
also provi<strong>de</strong>d, as every person or family<br />
is entitled to receive advice on questions<br />
of family planning. The advice is given<br />
either by the general practitioner or by a<br />
special <strong>de</strong>partment (particular outpatient<br />
clinic). Also midwives and visiting nurses<br />
may, within their range of competence,<br />
advise families. Contraceptive measures<br />
are, as a general rule, not subsidised.<br />
School and occupational health services are<br />
provi<strong>de</strong>d according to statutes. Municipalities<br />
are responsible <strong>for</strong> school health service<br />
which is carried out by visiting nurses and<br />
physicians. Occupational health service is<br />
organized within the framework of companies<br />
and is led by committees consisting of<br />
employees and employers.<br />
As a main rule, patients may contact<br />
general practitioners, <strong>de</strong>ntists, emergency<br />
wards and emergency and ambulance<br />
services without prior referral.<br />
The hospital service is placed organisationally<br />
un<strong>de</strong>r the counties, and the<br />
county councils are the responsible authorities.<br />
The counties own most of the<br />
hospitals. The hospitals in the City of<br />
Copenhagen and Fre<strong>de</strong>riksberg municipality,<br />
and Rigshospitalet are merged<br />
into the Joint Metropolitan Hospital Service.<br />
There are a few private hospitals<br />
which have a set agreement of usership<br />
with the county of location, whereas a<br />
few private hospitals operate quite in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>ntly<br />
of the public hospital service.<br />
Specialist hospitals are not organized<br />
separately. There are no health centres or<br />
similar institutions with wards in Denmark.<br />
