järjestämisvastuusta

Järjestämisvastuu refers to the responsibility for organizing and providing a particular service or function. It is a concept often encountered in public administration and the organization of social and health services within Finland. Essentially, it defines which entity or authority is accountable for ensuring that a specific service is available and delivered to the citizens.

This responsibility can be assigned at different levels of government, such as national, regional, or municipal. For example, a municipality might have järjestämisvastuu for primary healthcare services within its boundaries, while a regional authority might be responsible for specialized medical care. The specific division of järjestämisvastuu is determined by legislation and governmental decrees.

The purpose of clearly defining järjestämisvastuu is to ensure accountability, efficient resource allocation, and consistent service provision. It clarifies who is in charge of planning, funding, and overseeing the delivery of services, making it easier to identify responsibilities and address any deficiencies. Changes in the organization of public services, such as the recent municipal and wellbeing services county reform in Finland, often involve reallocating or redefining järjestämisvastuu to improve effectiveness and accessibility.
