Summary
Health is politics because of its social determinants (Social Determinants) are accepted in political interventions, depending on political actions (health determinants) and activities that aims to increase health needs through organized community efforts. The classification of the cycle indicates that the legislator is one of the most instrumental in formulating the direction of development policies in an area, especially in terms of health planning. This is confirmed in Article 42, Local Government Law No 23 of 2004 which states that: (1) DPRD has the task and authority to form regional regulations which are discussed with regional heads for mutual approval. Speaking at the regional level, based on Government Regulation (PP) No 08 of 2008 concerning Stages, Procedures for Compiling, Controlling, and Evaluating the Implementation of Regional Development Plans Which is of 3 classifications of development planning and budgeting cycles, namely participatory zones, technocratic zones and political zones. The participation zone that allows the involvement of many parties, especially the community, the technocratic/bureaucratic zone at the government level in this case the regional head and the agencies below him, as well as the political zone which is a "battle of interests" involving DPRD members (Wicaksono, 2016)
