The regional assembly is the highest political body in the region and its members are elected by the population of Skåne Country, as opposed to the County Administrative Board (länsstyrelsen) which guards the interests of the state in the region under the chairmanship of the county governor.
The region's main responsibility is for the public healthcare system, public transport and development within the region, which includes co-ordination of development of commerce, communication, culture and collaboration with other regions both in and outside of Sweden.
By devolution the newly formed region assumed some powers from the Skåne County Administrative Board, the state authority in Skåne County.
Before Region Skåne was formed in 1999 on a trial basis, the regional development was the responsibility of a Regional Association, comprising the 33 municipalities together with the then current health services principals, namely the Kristianstad and Malmöhus county councils and the Health Services authority in the City of Malmö.[1]
Similar provisions had also been extended to the Region Västra Götaland and the Region Gotland during a trial period.
The regional assembly (Swedish: regionfullmäktige, formerly landstingsfullmäktige) meets at Skåne Town Hall in Kristianstad. Elections are held every fourth year in conjunction with the national and municipal elections, on the third Sunday of September.
The executive body of the Region Skåne is the Regional Executive Committee (regionstyrelsen). The current chair of the executive committee is Carl Johan Sonesson of the Moderate Party, who succeeded Henrik Fritzon of the Social Democratic Party following the 2018 elections.
