Abstract
Public sector reforms in numerous countries have been inspired by ideas of New Public Management. Politicians are advised to keep an arm's length distance, giving administrators and managers more autonomy. This article analyses the impact of recent hospital reforms in Denmark, Norway and the United Kingdom on the involvement of MPs in hospital-related matters. The authors argue that reforms need to be analysed not only with respect to political-administrative relations but also to the allocation of political-democratic authority. The analyses show that parliamentary questioning on hospital matters is not restrained by managerialist reforms.
