Dental treatment is normally carried out
by private practising dentists. In Reykjavík

NORWAY: The activities within the
various areas of service and in relation to
different staff groups (professions)
within the health service are regulated by
the present legislation at the various administrative
levels (e.g. municipalities
and counties)
The most important statutes with relevance
to the health sector are the following:
The Act on the Health Services in
the Municipalities, The Act on Hospitals
etc., The Act concerning the Mentally
Disabled, The Act on Dental Treatment,
the Act on Governmental Supervision of
the Health Services and the Act concerning
Social Security.
The hospitals can be divided according
to the variety and complexity of the
treatment given (e.g. number of specialities
at the hospital) and the size of the institution
(e.g. number of beds in relation
to the population in the region with the
right to be treated). Thus the following
division can be used:

Tandbehandlingen udføres for det meste
af privatpraktiserende tandlæger. Der
findes en skoletandplejeordning i Reykjavík.
En tilsvarende ordning findes også
ved nogle af sundhedscentrene i den øvrige
del af landet. Her er der indrettet
klinikker som kan anvendes af privatpraktiserende
tandlæger.
NORGE: Aktiviteten inden for de enkelte
serviceområder og i forhold til forskellige
grupper af arbejdstagere (professioner)
inden for sundhedsvæsenet reguleres
af den eksisterende lovgivning på
det pågældende forvaltningsniveau (fx
kommune eller fylkeskommune).
De vigtigste regelsæt med betydning for
sundhedsvæsenet er: Lov om sundhedsvæsenet
i kommunerne; Lov om sygehuse
m.v.; Lov om sikring af psykisk syge;
Lov om tandbehandling; Lov om statslig
tilsyn med sundhedsvæsenet og Lov om
social sikring.
Sygehusene kan opdeles efter mangfoldigheden
og kompleksiteten af den behandling
som gives (fx antal specialiteter
på det pågældende sygehus) samt størrelsen
af institutionen (fx antal pladser
som afspejler den befolkningsstørrelse
som man har ansvaret for at servicere) og
der kan anvendes følgende inddeling:
