language">Danish</a>: <i lang="da">regioner</i>) were created as administrative entities at a level above the municipalities and below the central government in the public sector as part of the <a href="/wiki/2007_Danish_Municipal_Reform" class="mw-redirect" title="2007 Danish Municipal Reform">2007 Danish Municipal Reform</a>, when the 13 <a href="/wiki/Counties_of_Denmark" title="Counties of Denmark">counties</a> (<i><a href="/wiki/Amt_(country_subdivision)" class="mw-redirect" title="Amt (country subdivision)">amter</a></i>) were abolished. At the same time, the number of municipalities (<i><a href="/wiki/Commune_(country_subdivision)" class="mw-redirect" title="Commune (country subdivision)">kommuner</a></i>) was cut from 270 (<a href="/wiki/%C3%86r%C3%B8_Municipality" title="Ærø Municipality">from 271 in 2006</a>) to <a href="/wiki/Municipalities_of_Denmark" title="Municipalities of Denmark">98</a>. The reform was approved and made into a law by the lawmakers in the <a href="/wiki/Folketing" title="Folketing">Folketing</a> 26 June 2005 with <a href="/wiki/2005_Danish_local_elections" title="2005 Danish local elections">elections to the 98 municipalities and 5 regions</a> being held Tuesday 15 November 2005. </p><p>Each region is governed by a popularly elected regional council with 41 members, from whom the regional chairperson is chosen. </p><p>The main responsibility of the regions is healthcare.

Regions cannot decide their budgets independently, but must use the block grant for the purposes that are specified by the central government. In other words, the regional powers were dramatically reduced in favor of the local level. As they are not municipalities, regions are not allowed to have <a href="/wiki/Coat_of_arms" title="Coat of arms">coats of arms</a>, but they do have modern <a href="/wiki/Logo" title="Logo">logos</a>. </p><p>The small archipelago of <a href="/wiki/Ertholmene" title="Ertholmene">Ertholmene</a> to the northeast of <a href="/wiki/Bornholm" title="Bornholm">Bornholm</a> is not part of any region or municipality.

While the former counties controlled hospitals relatively independently, healthcare policy is now decided by the government, while regions administer it. Some local hospitals have been closed or downgraded. New, large and highly specialised hospitals have been built including Aarhus University Hospital and Psychiatric Hospital Slagelse.

In addition, since 1999 the government has obliged Danish hospitals to increase their productivity by 2% per year for the same budget, in the expectation of possible benefits from technical progress, but often leading to cutbacks in services.

These units were distinct from the 14 counties led by an elected council, but covered the same areas. Copenhagen, however, had the equivalent entity of Upper Presidium (<span title="Danish-language text"><i lang="da">Københavns overpræsidium</i></span>) led by an upper president (<span title="Danish-language text"><i lang="da">overpræsident</i></span>), a title originating from 1747. The municipality of Frederiksberg shared its county governor and county government division with <a href="/wiki/Copenhagen_County" title="Copenhagen County">Copenhagen County</a> (not covering Copenhagen proper, but the surrounding area). Bornholm retained its county government office and governor even after losing its county status (2003–2006). </p><p>While prefect or governor is an English rendering of the title, county prefects were practically senior government officials, unknown to a larger public and less powerful than governors in many other countries.

After elected councils were introduced, the King-appointed county prefect still led the elected county council and had larger political influence. In 1970, his political role was then taken over by the county mayor (<span title="Danish-language text"><i lang="da">amtsborgmester</i></span>) who was one of the elected county council members. The county prefect remained as the highest government representative in each county, and in his traditional civil servant uniform would be the person to receive the <a href="/wiki/Margrethe_II" title="Margrethe II">Queen</a> on her visits throughout the country.
